bsmiles and sunny days

This is honestly the first chance I have had to fold this laundry. I have kept up with the washing; I can always throw a load in on my way out the door. The folding takes time. Time is what I do not have. This is what I am looking at right now. It's my bedroom. It's a mess. What's worse is that this is what it looks like more often than not lately.  Here's what made me want to write this post. I haven't gotten a single complaint from the dreamy guy I share this room with. Not a single groan or heavy sigh from the fella that can't stand to walk into a house strewn with toys and clothes. And to bring it home, my whole house looks like this right now.  He's been incredibly patient over the whole deal. It makes me want to clean house and get fancied up before he gets home tonight. I think I will! Lvb

I tried to get a picture of her new teeth and she kept saying, "Anybody for some bootybooty?" She kept laughing so hard that the pictures were all blurry. Crazy girl!!

I love this tradition, but it is extremely labor intensive. The mess is hard to describe, especially when sprinkles come into the mix. But we will never skip doing it. I love it and smile every time I walk past our little village! This year we put the almond bark into a crock pot so that there was no fight over the microwave. And because we could scrape all the hardened chocolate back into the crock, there was less waste. One of my little ones asked if I could make a tree house gingerbread house. It didn't turn out quite like I had hoped, but it was fun and that's the point, I guess... Lvb
