Day 197
The note the kids pulled from the advent stocking tonight was that they could stay up 10 minutes extra to play Santa Coaster on their iPod. This shot of my boys just completely entranced in their games was just classic.
It's moments like this that I can't really tell if I'm a really good mom or a really bad mom......
Quack!

Day 198
It has been raining cats and dogs for the past several days. The rain finally abated and we discovered why the big empty field behind us is called the flood control zone.
We typically see and hear cows behind the house. This morning we woke up to the sound of ducks. They apparently really like our new river.

Day 199
Dropped the Mazda off today to have some items installed that were pre-negotiated when we bought they car but that they didn't have in stock in their parts department.
This was the loaner car I drove off the lot with.
Bonus points for anybody who can tell me where I am parked in this picture.
I should be Cinderella....

Day 200
Zoey was playing dress up today and was dressed up like Sleeping Beauty when I asked her to hang up some of her laundry. She sighed and said, "I should be wearing my Cinderella dress because you make me work ALL the time."
She has such a tough life!
Run, run as fast as you can....

Day 201
Today was Zoey's holiday party at school. All the kindergarten classes have been reading different versions of the Gingerbread Man story this week and talking about character and setting and such. So they finished off the unit by making gingerbread houses.
I promise there is a gingerbread house somewhere beneath all that candy.

Day 202
Tonight's activity from our Advent stockings was to make paper snowflakes, since they are likely the ONLY snowflakes they will see this year for Christmas.
After doing a few out of regular typing paper we discovered that tissue paper makes really nice BIG snowflakes and the thinner paper is WAY easier for little hands to cut.
Silly x3

Day 203
Tonight on our count down to Christmas our activity was to take a picture in our Santa hats, which the kids interpreted as an invitation to be downright silly.
