Deck the Halls (but hold onto your jewelry)

We were very hands off this year with LDC helping us Deck The Halls

Her job was to add the ornaments to the tree while we working on unpacking other Christmas decorations



Which one of these things is not like the others?

Slight dilemma

Day Off

“How can there be so much difference between a day off and an off day?”

Rejoice.  A day off.

It was even cold and rainy outside this morning- perfect lounging weather.

Yes, I own glass cleaner.  Blame...

Our Wednesday morning wrapped up with a marathon of artwork creations.
The drawing is of LDC and Grandpa on the tractor. The pink lines are leaves falling.
Our afternoon wrapped up with LDC's friends coming over for a hot cocoa bar and Fall leaf rubbings.

Native American Proverbs and Wisdom

"May the Warm Winds of Heaven
Blow softly upon your house.

May your Mocassins
Make happy tracks
in many snows,

and may the Rainbow
Always touch your shoulder. "

Looking Back + Tink it is


My Halloween costume ideas were a hard sell this year.
I gave LDC lots of options that "would be really cute and fun".
My personal top picks included Pocahontas and Mac-n-Cheese.
LDC replied with lots of... "No", "No thanks", "Mommy, that is weird"...

Finally a compromise was made.

  Thank goodness the weather yesterday was nothing like it is this morning...

Snow is falling!
