My grandmother was fond of saying, “Tables are for glasses, not asses”. My mom picked it up from her at some point in her life, and I obviously picked it up from both of them. It’s a quote that has been coming to mind a lot over the past week and a half, and with good reason:
Dan is thrilled that he’s turning our daughter into a little gamer girl. I don’t mind, except that now she and Ryan both think it’s okay to sit on the coffee table. And it’s not… Dan says he can’t sit on the sofa because then he’s too far away from the television. I can’t argue with him there. And if I did, I’d probably be suckered talked into getting a larger television. Pfft. I don’t know about you guys, but I can think of better things to drop a grand on.
Yesterday I stopped by the post office to check my PO box, and a gift from my Lavish Secret Santa arrived! :biggrin: There was a lovely blue jewelry stand for me, a Hello Kitty necklace for Alyssa, and a cute miniature clip-on tie. My SS thought it would be great for Leah, or even the cats. I think Blueboy took to the tie quite well:
However, he wasn’t so thrilled about reindeer antlers.
I guess I’ll leave those for the dog, who will let me do just about anything to her, so long as I croon to her in the right tone of voice and give her some treats.
The kidlets are napping right now. As soon as they’re up, we’re going out. I have a few more gifts to buy, household essentials to replenish and baking ingredients to stockpile for a weekend of baking (or so I hope), so I’ve made my list, checked it twice, and I’m armed with my payments for those 22,000 words I did earlier this week. :D

I wanted to make a lot of cookies and stuff for the holidays but david won’t hardly eat any so not really a point to that!

Great photos. I love the expressions on the animals’ faces, especially when the cat is wearing the antlers! Classic.

Cassidy has those PJs that Alyssa is wearing. HEEHEE.
I love snuggling kids in PJs. I still try to do it even though she’s 10!

:crazy: What is it with men and their compulsion to turn their kiddies into gamers?
DS1 is 3 & a bit-Daddy sorry Santa- thought it would be a great thing to give said child a V-Tech Smile console as one of his Christmas gifts.So now Daddy has hours of fun ahead in teaching DS1 to play Thomas the Tank Engine,Noddy,Dora and Bear in the Big Blue House.It’s just about his intellectual level too-Daddy that is..

LOL! Why doesn’t he do what I do? Sit on the floor in front of the TV? LOL Or maybe you should get him one of those gaming rockers. ;) Just a thought.

I just have to say that the tie is greatness. Love it.
Hahahaha Blueboy in a tie is AWESOME!!!
