It was good while it lasted!

So, my online version of Twilight has come to a screeching halt.

I understand when the pressure to do what everyone else wants

becomes your motivation to do anything and just

how crappy that type of life becomes.

So, I understand why it happened.

But let me say this...

I will miss it!

(Now what shall I do with the time I should actually be using to do the dishes or read my scriptures?)

Only in East Texas!

I went to McDonald's last night with my kids and

this is the actual receipt that I recieved!

How often do you go to a place of business,

especially a chain this big,

and find scripture printed on the header?!

(Stuff like this happens all of the time here in East Texas!)

Edible Works of Art

Tonight for Family Home Evening (F.H.E.)

we decorated sugar cookie houses!

I made the cookies a few days ahead of time

and Zachary began counting down the days until he got to decorate his.

Zachy took his decorating responsibilites VERY seriously!

Noah was a little more thoughtful about how he went

about decorating his cookie house.

(He actually DID have a good time, he's just so into decorating

in this picture it just looks like he's bored)

Zachary, on the other hand, used as much

icing as he could.

Here is Noah's finished product.

Very nice!

And here is mine.

And this one is Zachary's.

Olivia didn't decorate one, she just enjoyed licking off all of the icing

that I put on for her.

Zachary, on the other hand, DID enjoy decorating his.

AND enjoyed eating it too!!!

(Yuck!... waaaayyyy too much sugar!)

He LOVED it!

A Night of Pizza and a Very Large Rodent!

Friday night found the kids, me and some of our friends,

at Chuck E. Cheese's.

We really like this place, the kids have great fun and I can

choose to sit back and relax or join in the fun!

Zachary got really daring and decided to go on stage

while Chuck E. was singing and hold his hand and dance!

It was very cute!

The Queen and King's Throne

Zachary made a "throne" for Olivia today.

He called for me and said,

"Mommy! Look! The Queen is on her throne!"

After he made the throne for her he decided that it would

be more fun if he were on it with her.
My goodness these two are sooo stinkin' cute!

And it's not too terribly often that they get along this

well. Usually Olivia is screaming when Zachary

invades her personal space.

I guess she enjoyed being

"Queen for a Day!"

Even if her throne is a laundry basket!

This year we bought a real tree!

It's the second real tree of our married lives.

I bought a fake one before we got married and we have been

using it. It's more economical but the boys sure love having a real one!

We decorated it while Steve was out of town and,

since I'm not well acquainted with the trimming of real trees,

Steve informed me when he got home that it looked like someone

had put decorations on a felt board.

There were no spaces for the ornaments to tuck into

so I guess it looks silly and unkepmt but I have to say

that that was the easiest light hanging and decorating I've

EVER done! Scraggly or not I may do it that way every year!

My Christmas Advent Calendar - Part 2

This is what the finished product looks like!

(Minus the star on the the top...

I forgot to put it on for the picture!)

I hadn't actually sewn the pockets on yet for this picture.

I'm doing that by hand right now and have only completed

six of them so far.

(If you would like to see close-ups of the pockets click here)

My Tree is so thick and the pockets are as well so I

figured that my sewing machine would break trying to

sew the pockets on that way.

Anyway, this is what it will look like once they are

sewn on so you get th idea!

Isn't it cool!
