Christmas Countdown - 2016

[Festive Spirit]

Merry Monday!

Cold and blustery outside. Mid 50s today.

Hope everyone has a great week. I can't believe we are mid way through October. Much more Christmas in the shops now and people are talking about their plans and prep. It's exciting!

Halloween atmosphere is in full swing here too. The children finish on Thursday for a mid term break next week. Looking forward to a Halloween week of fun with them.

Well have a great Monday everyone.

Good morning, MMC!
Happy Monday~
We had a lot of fun with my cousin and her boyfriend this weekend. Time with family is always a cherished.
Harlowe was doing pretty well, but she got sick this morning. Hope that with some rest and plenty of water, she feels better today.
We travel for her specialist/Cardiologist appointment later this week.
Hope you all had a nice weekend.
Have a great & cozy start to your week!
Have a blessed day~

What are your plans for Halloween week?

We will go for some autumn walks along the nature trail and the parks, some hallloween baking and of course lots of halloween viewing. Mayeb a trip to one of the farms for scarecrow building and hayride.

I also plan on having an indoor camp fire night with them. I'll set up their tent in the living room, put up fairy lights and jack o lanterns, make some smores, hot dogs and read ghost stories.

Sounds like a lot of fun, have a spooky time!

Good evening,

Last night's trip to Six Flags was a disaster, it was extremely busy and LC had a panic attack due to all the people dressed in character. I think we were there for 15-20 minutes, no rides, no food. We ended up going to Chili's for dinner, that made LC very happy.
Bengals lost today, tomorrow won't be fun at work with all the Pats fans there. Oh well.

I hope you all had a great weekend.

Goodnight, everyone

Bengals were in the game in the 1st half. What happened? I guess Brady happened...

I have a fond memory of being behind a car with a bumper sticker that said "Why Be Normal?" It was pasted on the bumper upside down. Extra points for style!

But my favorite bumper sticker that I saw said "Legalize Updoc." Took me a minute, but I still laugh when I think about it.

I often think about how I wasted most of my 20s worrying about trying to be normal...and now that I'm in my late 30s I don't care what anyone else thinks about me lol. Life is much more enjoyable that way. That's a funny bumper sticker!

 

[Edge612]

I understand. It's one of the reasons I love summer because it's when my mum comes over to visit

I was walking yesterday on a nice but cool day and thinking how I miss summer then told myself how summer has to end for the best stuff of the year to begin. And here we are now 2 weeks till Halloween!

Good Monday Morning MMC! It's a vacation day for me so Rollins and I are hanging out this morning while I get some stuff done around the house. I'm going to IHOP with my brother and mom later this morning. Should be fun. We always like to go there every couple of months. Hard to believe 2 weeks from today is Halloween guys. I feel like this time of year we just go from one thing to the next and each thing gets bigger and better. It's such a great feeling. Trying to take it all in day by day and make time to do the fun things that we love to do this time of year.
I hope you all have an awesome and at least tolerable Monday !

Good Monday morning! David is feeling good this morning but now it's Loki not feeling so well. How do I know? He refused the piece of banana that I give him every morning. That, and his stomach is making noises and he hasn't eaten. Hope he'll be better by the time we get home later. Have a great day everyone!

Happy Monday morning Martine. Sorry to hear Loki is not feeling well. It's a easy spot when they refuse their favorite treats. Praying he will be feeling better soon. Have a good day and a great week.

I was walking yesterday on a nice but cool day and thinking how I miss summer then told myself how summer has to end for the best stuff of the year to begin. And here we are now 2 weeks till Halloween!

I wish I could press pause. It's hard to believe we are only two weeks away!
Have a great day off and enjoy IHOP with your family. Don;t forget a doggie bag for Rollins lol

 

[CGYager]

Morning Martine,
I am glad to hear that David is better but sad to hear Loki is not. Prayers for a speedy recovery . I hoep it is just a passing thing that goes away quickly. Take care and have a good day.

Greetings Festive. I certainly hope that your weekend went well. Mine was a combination of hectic and trying to catch up on chores and sleep. But now it is Monday (my second day off) and I think things should be fine for today.
Enjoy and be happy.

Good Morning, Christmas Chasers and Season Stalkers.

And along the way, we also pursue those Milestone Markers.
(But, of course, there are now none left between us and Christmas Season 2016!)

Today's numbers:
Days to Halloween: 14 (Two weeks from today!)
Days to the Season: 27 (UNDER Four weeks remain!)
Days to Christmas Day: 69 (UNDER Ten weeks left!)
Like sand through the hourglass, the days slip away at a steady rate.
(But unlike the days of our lives, on January 1 of each year, we get to tip the glass over and start afresh!)


Another really nice day here yesterday, still with low humidity, no rain and moderate temperatures.
Should start to get noticeably warmer over the course of this week, though.
This new week morning has commenced clear, at 61 degrees here in our territory of the great MMC Nation.


Have a Marveous Monday, Everyone.
(And I for one, hope it's better than Sunday was, when BOTH the Panthers and the Packers lost!)

Greetings to you Edge. Another Sunday of football has come and gone. Too bad I slept though most of the second set of games... lol
Time is moving quickly and I can't wait for more of it. Hard to believe so many Christmas sales already, but I suppose if you want your piece of the pie, you better dig in. Of course it does tend to make one think whether they raised up their prices so a sale looked good. Oh well, I'm not going to get cynical over Christmas. Have a fun Monday off.

Does your iHop do these?

Have a great day off and enjoy IHOP with your family. Don;t forget a doggie bag for Rollins lol

I'd at least be happy with a "slow motion" button...pause would be nice too though. The one thing I have to teach Rollins still is how to wait for permission to take my food...cause uh he's just gone right for it a few times I left it somewhere he could get to it. Nitro would stop and look at me (usually) before I said go ahead. This guy just takes it if he can get it lol.

Thanks Crown! Sorry about your NFL teams but hey this time of year it's hard to let much get us down with all the holidays coming!
