Project

I worked on one of my many projects tonight. It involves this:

I certainly hope I like it. I'm wondering if it was one of my crazy moments...

Mantel

I got my Christmas decor down fairly quickly this year. (I guess Arilynn's tree is still up. It blends in). We put our tree up as soon as we moved in, so it was up longer than normal. I was excited to decorate my mantel, but it took me forever to finally get anywhere with it. I wanted to go and buy all new things, but that obviously wasn't going to happen. So, after stealing from this room and that and sending Wes outside to cut branches from our tree, I think I finally got it. For now.

GW pitchers and wooden container.

I did buy one new thing with Christmas money-the canister came from TJMaxx.

We went goodwilling when we went home for Christmas and I was super excited to find this topiary. I knew it would look perfect sitting there. Wes was thrilled trying to arrange it in our vehicle with the 500 tons of other things. I heard about it all the way home, but I didn't budge. It was going home with me. Tee hee...

Mom gave me the clock for Christmas! :)

My little boy is growing up.

It's not super soft when I run my fingers through his hair anymore.

Big Stuff!

Emotional moment over...

Snow Fun

Uh, Mom, I'm not sure how to move all bundled up like this.

I'll help ya!

 

Wham...

  

Oops, did I do that?

 

Tasty!

 

Hello?! Anyone wanna help me out here?

 

 

The storyline may or may not be true...Crazy mom with no coat chasing her kids around trying to get a picture just didn't sound quite as entertaining.

7 Years

I'd do it all over again!

Christmas Porch

I tried to stick with what I had for this year, but I'm gonna be on the lookout for decor when it goes on sale.

18 Months

This little guy is 18 months (getting real close to 19). I'm fairly certain he skipped the baby stage and just went straight to being a toddler. I was looking back at his pictures and he hasn't changed nearly as much as Arilynn did. He's obviously taller, but his facial looks seem similar.

He is a booger!!! He has a mischievous smile that he gives you when he knows he's up to something. His eyes twinkle and he loves to laugh.

He has his own language that gets the point across, but he is talking a little more (his sister lets him get in a word every now and then)-his favorite being dog. The boy loves them. He has attached himself to one that was actually given to his sister. She was scared of it because it barked. We have washed it several times, but it reeks from "his love." I'm afraid it might be getting close to a burial as his head is getting loose...poor Weston. He HAS to sleep with it every night (we have had to have a serious hunt/prayer time a couple of evenings as Dog went MIA).
