I can never find this recipe when I want it so here it is...On my blog so I don't have to dig so much for it on the internet...

Kool-Aid Playdough -

it is so easy because you just boil the water instead of cooking it in the pan. Smells so yummy and it's so fun to play with soft warm dough...

Here is another link I would like to do some time too...we shall see....

The long lost Easterners

They came for. A sleep over! Our long lost BFFs have been gone for a year. So great to have them back for a bit and wish it was forever! (more pix to come of their visit as they visit)...

Dishes duty

As I cleaned up some dinner dishes, someone decided to be the comic relief... So proud of herself! I love it when she gets a little goof in her!

Awe, she does love me...

Found this on my desk this week. So nice to be showered with compliments (after a good toilet joke, of course!)

Like a Boss...

So I have been sick all week as well as everyone in the fam at one time or another - all except the Mr. who came home early from church to help out and has just in general been around more and helpful. Anyway, I am a little behind, forgetful and have way lowered my standards (5 buck gift certificates for teacher gifts...oh yes I did..).... I do like to do something for the Mr.'s boss each year. After all, he is the reason my kids are running around full and not naked. I forgot to really think about it until Tuesday night when hubby said he was going into the office for the last time Wednesday!!! (He lied btw but probably better so I had a fire under me.) I woke up that morn and neglected my family while I whipped up this wreath. Slapped a cute tag on a bag full of chocolate kisses and a cute ordainment I had laying around and there ya have it. (Yup, my cheesy tag said,"We wreath you a Merry Christmas!) Now I need to make one for me! I just love these coffee filter wreaths!

Neighbor treats!

I have almost 40 houses in my little neighborhood and because the kids all go to school together and we mostly all attend the same church, we all know each other... Who do u leave out? This year we took some mega cheap (clearance from last year) ornaments and slapped a mustache on them. Put them in a bag with a note that says, "Staching threw the snow to wish u a Merry Christmas, hope it is a BALL!" I popped them by the front door and the kids handed them out to anybody that came by. This has been such a laid back Christmas. I have loved getting things done early and much more simply.

My friend's boy improved my ornament a bit and I have been laughing and laughing!!! Merry Christmas!

Lovin' "No-shave November"
