Let me start by saying that this rain has overstayed its welcome. It's been raining for 3 days straight, and not a steady downpour, but that mist crap-o-la.
Now that that is out of the way...
The tree is still standing, yahoo! The tree skirt, however, makes a great cape. Both of the kids have decided to use it as a cape and run up and down the halls. Good thing I didn't tie it around the tree, right?
The pinky toe is doing well, especially after all the hits it took from the kiddos yesterday. Tell ya what a 30lb toddler landing on it is no picnic! But it was nothing a little Motrin couldn't handle.
That's all to report right now, hope you're having a great weekend!
I'm going to warn you now, this is going to be a really long, picture heavy, post. Ok, now that we have that covered....
Tuesday we put up our Christmas tree. The kiddos were very eager to help, naturally. They are doing really well with it so far, and it is still standing, so that is a definite plus.
I also put up their stockings. Last year I was able to use stocking holders and put them on a shelf by the tree, but this year that was not going to happen. Heavy metal, pointy holders and my kids are not a good combination. So I zip tied them to gate, and every time they walk past they give Mickey and Minnie hugs and kisses. I wonder if they think that will bring them more presents?
In my post yesterday I mentioned that Swiffer wet jet can get blue crayon out....see:
Don't you just love Jilly's artwork? Sigh.... She had her back to me coloring (mistake number one) and then just happened to move so I could see and there it was. All I had to say was her name and she dropped the crayon and came running over crying. At least it was the blue crayon and not the red, it probably would have looked like a crime scene.
Wednesday our photos from Impressions in Time came, and they are so great! I picked out a few of my favorites and put them up, and trust me there are way more and it was so hard just to choose these:
Aren't they great?! Thanks again Kim!!!
Yesterday was a pretty good day, we met up with the Lyons at EPCOT. We even got to see the Goodyear Blimp (it was there filming stuff for the Christmas parade, sorry to ruin the magic yet again). This week and next are the best weeks during the holiday season because nobody is here yet. Come Christmas Disney will be hoping until at least the week after New Years.
In totally random news, I broke my pinky toe yesterday. Seriously. I jammed it into the couch and thought that maybe I just well jammed it, but it looks pretty funky this morning and hurts like none other. I'll have to get some tape, and probably some more Motrin, and I should be ok. Who knew you needed your pinky toe so much?
That's it over here, thanks for sticking with me through all the photos!
