Rather frosty the last couple mornings.   So yesterday I had to try to capture some of it.  I'm still adjusting to my camera, but I was quite happy with a couple of them.


No frost today, just some rather wicked wind gusts.   That somehow its hard to take seriously cause its sooooo pretty out there.  Blue sky and sunshine.  and BRR!

After picture taking we headed to our first event the Awana Christmas festival.  It was fun.  I got to see and visit with quite a few people I hadn't seen in awhile.

My kids got volunteered to do the nativity scene for awhile.



We had to kidnap Kiah my niece for baby Jesus.      They looked very cute,

But this is more reality.
And if you believe this next pose I have a bridge to sale you.     Or ocean front property in the Sahara.


We drove home and recuperated for about an hour, and then headed to do our Twinkle Parade with our Clallam Bay team.  It went very well, and the kids have improved soooo much in regards to watching lines. 




The weather was FREEZING!   But it was very fun.   And the parade was a short one, and because they were so excited we were there we were the third entry, which meant we got to watch the rest of the parade.

All in all the day was a lovely success.  And after church today we shall go get our Christmas tree. I have it scoped out, we just need to go cut it.

Its not Thanksgiving in our house.  We are celebrating Saturday, due to Rob working.  Although I couldn't help myself, and picked up a turkey for today, cause we will have turkey at my moms and not get leftovers to bring home.

Yesterday was payday.   And I left very early to get the job done, before all the last minuters.  It was so quiet in Walmart.  *beams*  On the way there, I had to pull over to the side of the road and appreciate God's beauty.

And now I have to share it.











You can decide which is your favorite shot.  Rob and I have differing opinions.  LOL

Kinda been a Calamity Jane week.

Yesterday we went into town to get Zeria who spent the weekend at the baton coaches with her twins.  She had a lot of fun.  We stopped at the Humane Society to see if the peak-a-pom was still available that I'd spotted online.  It was.  Beautiful, Lovely 6 month old puppy.  So I bought it.  Climbed in the excursion, and realized I'd left the lights on, and the battery was dead.

The lovely lady at the Pound tried to jump my excursion, but her car was just too small to get it going. 

So I called the coach who had a mutual friend come get my kids while I waited for the tow truck.  The mutual friend picked up my 6 kids and dog, and took them to the gym.

The tow truck came.  He offered to try to jump it.  It worked.  And he did NOT charge me.  I was thrilled, as otherwise we were doomed to spend the night in Port Angeles, and complicated several peoples lives getting us to where we needed to be.

I headed to the school to get my kids.  Jumped out to say hi.  Told them we'd head down and get Zeria's stuff and then leave.  They'd been playing at the playground.  Jeremiah turned to climb up the slide one last time, and fell and split his lip badly, and poked a hole in his tongue.  Almost needed stitches.  Bleeding, and screaming hard.  Very upset.

So I head down to the school office carrying him.  And trying not to laugh.  Laughing was hysterical.  LOL

Get some klynex for Jeremiah examine it a bit closer.  No we don't need stitches, but its definitely NASTY.  Head home without further incident.

Today has been a much better day.  Other then heading into costco without my list, so headed back to the car got my list, headed back to Costco, forgot my pen, headed back again.

Yup I have blonde roots.  *nods* 

Got home from grocery shopping to find a very very miserable Jeremiah.  I'm holding his birthday pressy a kitten, and he doesn't even want to look at it cause he's puking.  Why is he puking?  Cause he hasn't eaten a single bite of food since yesterday before he cut his lip.  He's scared its going to hurt, so he declared a fast.

*ugh*  Tried to bribe, bully, cajole him into eating.  No go.  He pukes again.  Suggest pudding, and he says he'll eat that.  So run to PB's to get it.  He ate it, and a yougart, and is now sleeping.  Split lips, and tongues are very stressful. 

Todays going to be better yes?
