Balmex.... powder and other emergencies

you have to check this out

Yep. been there. A two year old that painted every part of his body with Balmex when he was supposed to be napping. Leaving only eye holes and the flesh under his diaper that was flesh toned. He is thirteen now about to be fourteen - and for the life of me I cant remember how many baths it took to get it off of him....

still hanging in there....

Well, I must say I am shocked... I really had my doubts.... I mean serious doubts... but, it's still there, hanging by a wire. I really liked what it turned into as I was twisting and tucking - and now I can't seem to take it down though... I think it might have to stay up a few days longer.

My record for leaving the decorations up was Superbowl weekend. That was a long time ago... but it may get challended this year.

Do I have to????

I love this picture, this just sums it up. Our dog Cocoa wouldn't have anything to do with ,my daughter's new puppy , Bella. Three months later, he even plays a little with her. However as cute as she looked, she kept stealing his Christmas bone.... you better watch it Bella.

Santa called...

This is really cool, especially if you pick the snowman... pardon the bad pun.
A local grocery is allowing you to log on to their website, and set up a call that can be made to someone from Santa, a snowman or from Tony Stewart... you set the recepients name, the date and time of the call...

Merry Christmas Y'all (Imagination Required)

Welcome! All "that snow" last week down here in Texas put us in the Christmas Spirit. I am running a little late, but made my goal to participate in the Tour of homes this year.

There are alot of postings I have read about downsizing decorations, and not being perfect... trust me... I don't have to worry about that! Cause I am not anywhere close! So, I will share the best, and I hope you enjoy!


A little Christmas Cheer on the couch....


Fireplace area with an attempt at garland, after getting inspired by The Nester and all of those beautiful creations I saw last year... don't worry... I will be removing that "Minnie Pearl" tag from that topiary all by myself in a little bit. Or, maybe not... cause that's how I roll! Did you like the festive touch the Guitar Hero drum set provides? It has red and green on it so we're gonna make it work!



I am really proud of my garland.... let's just hope it stays up.

You need to use your imagination now....


and pretend this treeskirt is under the tree.... instead of drying after being defiled by.......



..........B E L L A.... and then there's the matter of that tail.


But there is way too much testerone in this house to worry about things getting broken. And that paint color. What was I thinking?


Ohh! The Santa movie is on....
So I am going to sit here and enjoy it! I hope you have enjoyed our tour as well!



*SIGH*
