<\/a><\/p>\n…and there we go.<\/p>\n
Because I didn’t have enough junk to do on my “to do list” I decided I’d try to get a new photo for the header last night.\u00a0 After we spent a good 20 minutes looking for the second Santa hat – I gave up and promised that I would Photoshop a Santa hat on whichever girl ended up hatless, and then we took turns with the hat.<\/p>\n
Yeah, so that was a small white lie, since I (obviously) did not take the time to do that for the header photo. Sorry, girls. I’ll pay for the years of therapy you’ll most definitely need later in life.<\/p>\n
That of course is not the only little white lie going on around here. The whole Elfie<\/a> (Elf on a Shelf) thing is pure gold. I just have to look at the creepy little Elf and the bickering and whining stops as abruptly as it starts.<\/p>\n I am making a little bit of headway on my Christmas list – well, I have ideas for everyone. Still working on the execution of most of them. I’m really struggling with the girls and J. though. Seems like they should be the easiest ones to buy for since I am with them 24\/7 – but I’m not finding anything good.<\/p>\n Of course it doesn’t help that Addie is telling anyone who will listen that she is getting a “new Smokey” – a real new kitten.<\/p>\n Yes. That is not happening. Even when they flash me those “puppy-dog” eyes.<\/p>\n I’m making a bit of headway on my “other” Christmas stuff too, like the cards. Well, again…I have an idea. I’ve bought the paper and envelopes. Still working on the execution.<\/p>\n All this generating ideas is hard work. I think I’ll go figure out where all the mint M&Ms have disappeared. Maybe I’ll set up a videocamera<\/a> to try to catch our M&M thief. Surely J. and I could not have eaten an entire bag in one night.<\/p>\n (Seriously…if you have a few minutes you have to go watch the “Creeper In my Apartment” video<\/a>, it is freakin’ me out right now!!)<\/p>\n Have a great weekend. I hope you are all very productive and get further on the execution of your Christmas than I am likely to!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So we’ve been a few Thursdays without a crazy pic from Addikins… …and there we go.
