What is it about the day after Thanksgiving

That makes it perfectly acceptable to eat a full plate or potatoes, stuffing, green beans, turkey and corn for breakfast.... with your coffee... literally at 9 am?

Mommy brag- Eva's 1st homework assignment

Allow me to introduce you to Eva's (and Mommy's) first homework assignment. It was really hard for me to "know my role" and stay within the confines of it, which was to write our family name on the top of the paper and trace the hands of our immediate family members elsewhere on the sheet, and allow Eva her creative license to decorate it. The instructions were to "Have fun making it special", "Use crayons, stickers, markers, glue, whatever your heart desires to make it pretty b/c we are hanging it on the wall in school". I gravitated (in my usual OCD way) to the ruler and the the pencil and the rainbow colored markers. Eva took a special liking to a dark blue sharpie. I could not pry it from her hands. After I painstakingly outlined our last name and all of the handprints she completely covered over her handprint and a good part of Daddy's hand in dark blue sharpie. I finally had to say "I think it's done! And boy is it lovely!!!". She agreed. Here it is:

Can I get a woot woot???!??!?!

I'm 85% done with my Christmas Shopping. Just saying.

Now I don't have to grumble and bah humbug everyone that says they finished on Black Friday. Better yet I don't have to leave my house on Black Friday and I can stay home and stuff my gullet full of left over stuffing.

So I ask again... can I get a woot woot?

Halloween and dress up

I don't have a nice pic of Eva in her dorothy dress from Halloween b/c she wouldn't cooperate but I do have a few cute ones from "princess dress up hour" a few days prior. Check her out. Doesn't she make a lovely snow white????
