on the seventh day of christmas...

i wish i could report i received something exotic

like seven swans a swimming...
but not here people.

just more running around.

you know, one of those days where by backside

didn't find a comfy chair until 9:30PM

YAWN...
so since my mind is trying to unwind
i am going to try decluttering here!

ready for some randomness?
~

picking the big guy up from preschool

he professes his love for his teacher:
"i love teacher a, and she is pretty,

and i wonder what her middle name is?"

talk about random!
~
the kids have been bringing gifts home from school
they insist we open them right away...

so they open them for us...

here is the big guy's gift to us,

a holiday tissue holder/photo cube:

and the big girl brought home this tear jerker!

i love both gifts! too cute!

~
see anything amiss in this photo?

look closely...

something is attacking our holiday cards!
~
we actually put up lights this year...
and for some reason...cannot upload the pic

only that pic

what gives?

you are not missing much

we are not the griswald's
~

and...
the heat is on people...
with temps below freezing over night

and only in the 40's during the day

we caved!

we flipped the switch!

but at least we are warm!
~
kajukembo is all the rage in our house right now
here is the big guy in his gi

he wears it well

it's like he transforms when he puts it on

future ninja warrior?

~

and here is the beauty in all her jazzy glory!

she got down to 'boogie woogie santa'

she can shake those hips!

~

and i will end with this...
my three favorite peeps...
