Christmas Countdown - 2013

[Seawaters]

I can just imagine this. They sound so cute--love it!!!

Harlowe loves looking out my parents bay window!! So does Jazzie. They team up when we're there, and get into mischief They were both scared of something on Saturday night before bed, and we couldn't figure out what. When I laid down to go to sleep, I figured it out. Someone was letting off fireworks nearby. Harlowe wanted to jump down off the bed, away from the window. She scratched to get out of the bedroom, so I opened up the door for her. She nudged open the door to my parents bedroom, and went in there for comfort. They slept through it, but Jazzie didn't! She was hiding under the bed =] They played for a bit in the living room, got frightened again, then they both came and wanted to get into bed with me! It was quite an interesting night. Anyways, here's a cute pic of a curious Harlowe looking out the window!

WOW, what finds! Remember to get a picture when she is finished with the wreath.

My Mom is always working on a quilt or some sort of craft project. Right now, she's doing a Christmasy one! She has been going to Estate sales, and purchasing vintage Christmas ornaments to make a wreath. She has found some amazing ones!! And got such good deals!!

Wow, you are productive today, Xmas! What time is dinner? Have fun at JP's program.

Good morning,

It is a nice sunny day here, so far, I have been busy cleaning up and started the chicken for dinner. My whole chicken in a crockpot recipe!!!! I also have my snickerdoodle dough chilling in the fridge. We will be eating well tonight!!!

I am going to JP's school for a little program at noon, he is so excited I am going because it always seems I am working when these things go on.

I hope you all are having a good day.

 

[Seawaters]

Believe it or not, but it is a gray day here, too!!! I am going to light my pumpkin spice candle while I work!

Sounds like a good idea. I think when I get out of work, I'm going to light my White Christmas candle and read a Christmas book. It's a grey day here, and I can pretend it's cold and going to snow. :cry:

Have a great day, everyone!

Sounds like you had some interesting (and stinky) recess's!!! Lol!!! We get that fresh country air quite often here in farm country!




ABSOLUTELY!!! The more the merrier!!!!



Glad the storms missed you! I hope you get the critter soon. I think I would be having some sleepless nights!!! EEK!!!



So sorry to hear about your uncle. Keeping you all in my prayers!!







I noticed my daylillies blooming last night! My clematis is done already! Booo!



Will you come & clean, clean, clean my house too??? That is on my agenda for lunch today & tonight too. I got started on it last night. NO FUN!!! Lol!



What a pretty lady! Beautiful necklace too! Nice work!! Sounds like you had an awesome Fathers Day weekend! I have the windows open at work here too. It's actually a little bit chilly! I'm sure that will change this afternoon!!



SO CUTE!!



How cool is that?? LOVE IT!!




What time is supper? YUM!!





This makes me want to go home & light a Christmassy candle & read a good Christmas book!!! This darn work thing! HA! ENJOY!!!



Good morning - oops, afternoon everyone!!!! Last night I got the trees & flowers watered, I steam mopped the floor, did 3 loads of laundry, hung on the line, folded & put away, I cleaned off our air hockey table in the basement that seemed to have become a "catch all" table! I got day 1 of week 5 C25K done, unloaded & re-loaded the dishwaser...BUT there is lots of work to do yet before tomorrow night!!! It's almost lunch time & I'm planning to do some dusting. Fun, fun!! Hope you are all having a great day!

Thank you, Holiday!! I will tell my Mom that =]

Hope you have a wonderful day!!

I know what you mean about being tired. I took a FOUR-HOUR NAP yesterday!!! I have had a sore throat for a few days, so I guess that was the reason for the tiredness; plus we are working on packing things up to move stuff into the garage for our remodeling of the kitchen. House plans were submitted yesterday to the inspector. As soon as he gives the go-ahead, we will begin construction. Then I really will have something to be tired about. Did I tell you about the Myer's Cocktail, a micro-nutrient infusion? If you have time, check it out. Take care, Festive Spirit.

We are waiting for our contractor to get back from vacation so he can show us the plans he came up with for our kitchen! I'm kind of dreading it - the packing up & finding a place for stuff during construction!! Hope your's turns out well!!! :grin:

Good morning, friends!!

How are you today?

Hope you all stay cool with the heat & humidity. We are having a bit of a reprieve today, with a high of 73 degrees. It's partly cloudy & there's a nice breeze, so we turned the AC off & opened the house up.

I had a fun weekend at my parents house, and spent a lot of quality time with Dad for Fathers's Day. Love being able to drive home so easily!! And with such a beautiful drive-my most favorite one.

Seawaters, I finally got some photos of Mom wearing the Yorkie/Jazzie necklace I had made for her for Mother's Day! She loves it!!

I just walked out to the mailbox...what a BEAUTIFUL day!!! Now I REALLY don't feel like cleaning!!!

:cry:

My buddy showed up this morning and cried around for 4 hours. So now I don't feel like cleaning!!!

Are you sure it is that, and not the "dairy air" that Holiday and MC were talking about? cheesy
