Pre-Christmas Party 2013

-

On December 23rd,
we had a PRE-Christmas Party
The little guys are finally old enough
to play some of the games that I used
when I was teaching school. 
Putting "clings" up on fireplace
screens and windows
was a favorite activity.
Busy, busy little boys.
"I'm decorating Nana"
We read the story of Jesus
birth, and they arranged a nativity
scene on the coffee table.
Please note Aaron's shirt on
the red chair.  He spent
most of the day in his t-shirt.
Freezing temperatures
don't deter him from being
comfortable.  
Their idea of a Christmas photo.  
Decorating Christmas cupcakes
was a highlight of the party.
They did a good job, but sprinkles
were EVERYWHERE including
in their mouths.
Again, notice Aaron's fashion statement.
The off-the-shoulder
look is alive and well.
Their finished projects.
Cannot get them to
all smile at the same time.
We watched a Christmas video.
They were entranced with Frosty the Snowman.
Kelly and I found these precious Fisher Price
reindeer at a thrift story and they
became a Find the Reindeer Game.
Our final game of the day
we do not have pictures for because
everyone was too busy running
around hiding.
HIDE AND SEEK
 is the all time favorite
game to play at
Nana and Ducca's house
no matter what the holiday.
It always produces gales of
laughter!  

CHILDREN--
the very best part of Christmas!

What fun! Kelly can attest that you never outgrow eating sprinkles - particularly the red ones! I think that was our main goal in making Christmas cookies every year. :-)

New Walking Shoes

-

I have loved the Dansko shoes that I wear when it is cool. But I needed some comfortable walking shoes and amazingly Dansko now makes  "tennis shoes". They are so comfortable, although a little wild.  Probably should have gone with a more neutral pair, but these are fun. And to all the fashion police out there, no, one pant leg is not longer than the other.  It is just the angle of the camera. Sheesh!!!!!

Laundry Dilemma

OK, all of my friends in Blogland, I have a problem and those closest to me are getting tired of me showing them my laundry dilemma and of me trying to get them to help me figure it out so I am sharing my problem with you in hopes that some BRILLIANT person can help me. Several, and I mean several of my shirts are getting holes in them. I hope you can see from the pictures below--I have put a red cloth behind the holes in hopes that they would show up better. They start out with tiny little pinprick holes and then they "grow". They are always right about waist level. I have been working on this puzzle for a several weeks because I don't want to have to replace all my clothing every few weeks (although there is a Stein Mart in Colorado Springs.) See the solutions that have been ruled out. not one of my bracelets puncturing the cloth no, I'm not wearing a belt that is puncturing the cloth it does not seem to be something that I am leaning up against the seatbelt ...

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...
