cookies...mmmmmm

Is anyone going through Christmas cookie withdrawals or is it just me? I will be strong, I will be strong I will be strong... crap. I can feel my new years resolution crumbling. Lucky for me I'm feeling lazy today and don't have the energy to make some;-) I guess I'm safe... for now.

Guitar Hero

Here's to rockin' it out old school... or is that new school? Last night we had a guitar hero throw down. It was alot of fun and even dh got into it.Showing those young bucks how it's done (aka the teenage boys of the house and some of their friends). ROFL! She he did, lol. It was quite the sight. Thanks Uncle Pat for the great gifts:-)

Next Generation Cookie Slaves

Here are some older pictures from our x-mas baking DAYS! Yes that's right I said 'days'. we're are still enjoying the fruits of our labour.
Did your mom ever enlist you to be one of her cookie slaves at Christmas? Well this year I enlisted the help of the grand-pumba of cookie slave managers... My mom. Strangely enough my children never say no to her. She can say, " Go out to the garden and dig a trench, dump the compost in it, cover it up, pat your head and rub your tummy, turn in a clockwise circle three times and then do the hokey-pokey." Their answer is always "Yes Nana". Can you believe that? Secretly I think shes a voodoo priestess and has a spell on them. I know, I know, I was thinking the same thing. It's the only logical explanation.
Poor boy. He seems to think the cookie marathon is fun. don't worry J we'll get you help;-)

Be and J making candy cane cookies... mmmmm.

Nana N and J making Mocha smartie cookies. Notice the ingredients on every counter? Hurricane Nana. Thanks for the help with the baking mom and with your mind control. Don't worry I won't judge you for it. Whatever works, I always say;-)

Why I just love 4 year olds

4 year olds say the funniest things. We were listening to some music and N said to me "Mama doesn't this music just make your face want to groove?"
Indeed it does N, indeed it does, lol.

My mommy is the bestest

See what my mom helped me make? I love it! I've never made a wreath before and this is what she through together for me after a little persuading... as only an annoying child can do.

Me: "Please, moooooommmmmmm? Come on. Please? Please?Please

Mom: Oh for the love of god, HERE!

she rocks... even when I annoy her into it;-P

She had surgery done on her hand and had to take some time off work and got roped into showing me her Christmas secrets... I mean, doing some bonding time while doing some Christmas baking;-)

Got Him!!!!!

Let's take a moment of silents for Bob the mouse... This afternoon I was walking down the hallway and saw the little bugger sneaking back into my room. Since there is no food in there what the heck keeps drawing him in there... an escape root! So I guess I must have had the trap in the wrong place because after moving it, I checked it one hour later and guess who was there. Now before we all rejoice at my prowess my mouse expert informed me that where there's one there's usually more. So wish my luck as I hold my breath and hope it's all over now. Crap, I'm already getting lightheaded, I'll just 'hope' for the best then;-)
