Thursday Thirteen

Priorities! After school it is my heart to decorate these with the children.
In order to do that....

I just had to mp my floor, I could not take it any more! So this I did just for me!
I cleaned the oven and micro wave and the counter tops. Wiped down the front of the cabinets as well. It feels so much better. I think this is important to help me to be able to relax with my sweet kids later.

I have noticed the stress I was feeling every time I saw the mess that was over running the supply center. We keep the art and scholastic supplies here. It was just awfully messy. Had to fix it again for my own heart I gave pause to this task. :)

It left a bit of a mess here , but I'll get it later on this afternoon.
After cookie decorating.
I'll have to get it done because I teach again tonight.
We need to finish the quilt today.
Jaye, do you want to come over tonight and help with the binding?
I am a little unpracticed at it?

So with many tasks and projects and thrills of creative genius. This will soon have more of these under here. The kids are worried because they have yet to see the mounds of years past.
They keep asking...
"are we really going to have the BEST Christmas ever Mom?"

I have this to make today.

Two triple decker stuffed snow balls to do before the time melts away.
The kids are due home in two hours!

I mailed another 24 or so of these this morning and have only a few left to do now.

With the cooler weather we have had many ...
"Two dog nights"
lately.

Is that just the cutest thing!
They sleep just outside our master bedroom door.
They snore! I have asthma so no dogs in the bed chamber.
I made them lots of blankets that they sleep on.

While driving through the reservation last week we passed this residence.
Please use great care with your decorations. Fire hazards are over loaded extension cords, over loaded breakers. Dry trees! KEEP WATER in the pans.
Unattended candles.
Have a safe Christmas.

Guilt personified!

A tip for you. If you use these food coloring and they dry out,
glycerin, is a "save the day"thing to keep on hand.
It will re-constitute your colors.

If all else fails...
