  • We're Out of What!


    I'm a compulsive "Day After" shopper.  The day after Halloween, Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day and especially Christmas I load up on holiday accoutrements that we'll "need" next year.  As a result, I usually have enough of everything on hand to outfilt the whole neighborhood.  So it was with surprise and dismay that I realized - We Are Out of Bows!  Tim stuck his head out of the back room yesterday to ask me where the rest of the bows were, and I knew that I'd already given him ALL the bows.  He's not a heavy bow user, so this was a BAAAD sign.


    But leave it to Tim.  The boys are fascinated with dinosaurs, especially Pterydactyl's.  Tim just happens to be the only guy I know who knows the origami folds for a pterydactyl by heart.  So my kids have pterydactyls on their presents now.  I love it.  So I took a photo to share.  (Isn't he a neat daddy?)

  • Awwww that is sweet

    I did read your catch-up comment about the NyQuil commercial, LOL I know "that look" from a cat real well, I've got 3 of my own!  Thanks for the advice about seeing Lord of the Rings before reading the book, I'm going to have my darling hubby take me out to see it right after Christmas.  And speaking of Christmas, I hope you and your wonderful family have a GREAT one!

    Brightest Blessings to you and yours

  • Necessity, the mother of invention!! : )

  • Cute bows.  Great idea.  Glad to see youare starting to post on a more regular basis. 

    Lots of love for Christmas, if I don't talk to you before then.

  • PS  And yes, you would unplug the phone after the second call.  The first one you would not be expecting, and the second one you would be telling yourself, "Surely he knows that he woke us up last time and won't try to call at this time of day again."

    Try to tell me I'm wrong, but you know that is what would happen. 

  • You're embarassing me. I just don't know how to do real bows...

  • LOL, I can't do real bows or pterydactyls, so I am IMPRESSED! Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!
