Christmas Countdown - 2015

[HomemakinGirl]

Kelly and Michael will be on in about 20 minutes here. That's my mom's favorite show!

Love them, I watch it every morning!

Thanks MerryCarey!
I think I'll get the hang of it eventually. And I found it to be very relaxing which would be good for me since I'm kind of high strung. It will be nice to curl up on the couch and work on something. I started a dishcloth last night so I'll continue to work on that for now. I'll let you know how it goes

I want to see a pic of your dishcloth when it's done!! Glad you enjoyed it! You'll be a pro before you know it!

Afternoon guys,
I spent the morning catching up with a little work on the PC and tidied up the house. It's almost 1pm here and the kids and I are going for a walk to the shops.The weather has suddenly cleared up after a very dark, wet morning. It is unusually warm. I was up most of the night with a terrible cough so going to pick up some cough medicine.

For all just waking up, I hope you have a great start to the day!

Feel better Festive!

Continued love and prayers being sent to you, your SIL, and your family~~
Hope the move goes well for your in-laws, it was very thoughtful of you to cook for them. I know the stress of moving, and the last thing people think about is their next meal. It will be nice that they won't have to worry about that.
(((Hugs)))
Have a nice Halloween weekend!

Thank you snowflake!!! Hope you have a nice Halloween/Christmas movie weekend too!

Good afternoon everyone and happy halloween's eve

Happy Halloween Eve to you!

TGIF, my Christmas friends!

The kids won the region with their One-Act Play! They were so excited! And Elizabeth won Most Outstanding Actor! And Jacob was complimented profusely for his banjo playing. My goodness, these kids and their extracurriculars LOL. It was interesting to see the plays acted out by the other schools, too, but ours was the obvious choice, if I do say so myself.

Now we go on to state on November 18...two days before Nutcracker starts. It'll be held far enough away that we'll have to stay overnight, so Elizabeth will probably miss a dress rehearsal for the ballet. I hope they don't mind too much!

I'm doing it again, but...I'M PROUD OF MY KIDS!

I hope y'all have a great day!

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!!!

Hubby guessed it right! They did dress up as the Peanuts gang! He never watches this show so good guess for him but obvious they have been hyping up the movie everywhere. The only thing I guessed right as they started to reveal is they will probably dress up Matt as Lucy and I got that right! They usually dress him up as a gal.

Too funny! Hope you enjoyed it! Have a great day!

For my commute this morning, I put on Tom Baker's excellent audiobook of "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." I love to pull that out around Halloween! Next up: His audiobook of "A Christmas Carol," which is superb!

We will be taking the grandkids out tomorrow, that would be a great idea to listen to a kid friendly spooky audiobook in the car! Maybe Jekyll and Mr. Hyde will be fine? Got any suggestions??? The oldest is 11 and youngest is 6. They all went through a Haunted House with me last week and did well so you will know their "scare level".

Good morning Holiday, Happy Friday!
Keeping your SIL and your entire family in my prayers (((hugs)))
Hope the move goes well!
Have a nice day!

Thanks so much HMG!!

My "Christmas" Tree is still up. I had put fall garland all through it for now. Next week it will be a full Christmas Tree adorned with all Christmas decorations! Can't wait!

Saweeet! Love it!

Too funny! Hope you enjoyed it! Have a great day!

I had said, "maybe Harry Potter"? I liked his guess better!

Good morning, judesmama!
Happy Halloween Eve!
Hope you & Noel have a wonderful and fun time at the party!

 

[MerryCarey]

Oh no! I hope Mr. feels better real soon!!!

Thank you!
It hit him like a ton of bricks last weekend. The doctor told him it was a 7-to-10-day virus. He's getting better, but not fast enough to suit him!

 

[MerryCarey]

Lots of Eves there!!!

Although it has to be said that whenever there is an 'Eve' it invariably precedes something that we all look forward to!!!

I love the "Eves"

As the commercial used to say: Double the pleasure, double the fun!

I'm looking forward to the day I can do something more complex!

Continued prayers for Mr, hope he gets well very soon.

You'll be tackling more complex stuff before you know it ... but get the basics under your belt first. You'll find that most complex patterns are just simple stitch patterns strung together.

Thanks for the healing wishes for Mr.!

Hm ... Tom Baker's Jekyll and Hyde isn't very kid-friendly, because it's the original story by Robert Louis Stevenson, so the 1800s vocabulary could be difficult for them to follow. Can you get ahold of the old "War of the Worlds" OTR broadcast the Orson Welles did in 1938? I bet they'd love that!! I did when I was a kid! If you can't find it, maybe I can dig up a link for you.

Good morning MMC!
Happy Halloween Eve!
I hope everyone has a fabulous day!

Happy Friday! Here comes a pleasant weekend; I'm going to my sister's church tonight for trunk or treat, and tomorrow is my OTHER favorite holiday! I wish it was 2:00 already so I could be done with work and get the fun started.

Hope everyone has a happy and safe Halloween, and a blessed All Saint's Day!

 

[MerryCarey]

CAH, I PMed you a link to the "War of the Worlds" broadcast. I found it on Archive.org.

 

[Festive Spirit]

Enjoy the warm weather!
Hope the cough medicine gives you relief.
Take good care! (((Hugs)))

Thanks.
Beautiful photo!

 

[Festive Spirit]

Thank you!
Also remember that hot tea with honey and lemon will help to soothe your cough.
Poor Mr. is still trying to get rid of his cough/virus---he has to lie down to rest a few times during the day. Hoping he gets better over the weekend, because he is hosting a film show on Monday.

Thanks Merry. I just came back from the shops and you've reminded me that I was meant to pick up some honey!
So sorry to hear Mr is not well. I hope he recovers fully soon and in time for the film show. I am sure you all are looking forward to it a great deal.
