Like Santa

Christmas parties are really a lot of fun -- especially when the teacher loads the afternoon with games and food!  My youngest daughter's class played a game to see who could stick the most cotton balls to their faces in one minute.  They first loaded their faces with Vaseline and then for one minute bobbed in a plate of cotton.  It was HYSTERICAL to watch -- especially when the teacher started the activity!  Here is the page I created around that afternoon game of fun.

One Big Stop!

Another one of our stops on the way to the Cape last year was to the Ikea in Stoughton, Massachusetts.  There is only one word to describe this place --- BIG!  I was shocked when we pulled into the parking lot and saw the massive building ahead of me.  I was in HEAVEN......  We only spent a little time searching for the bi-gel rods I wanted but I managed to find other goodies in the short time I was there!  If only we had one of these stores near my house!

JINGER ADAMS' FACEBOOK CONTEST - Fun Time!

Jinger Adams on facebook had a contest where anyone could enter pictures of ice cream layouts.  After asking if I could submit more than one entry (my girls wanted to do the contest, too), my girls and I went to work making our layouts.  I decided to go a little non-traditional and used brown for my layout!

Enjoy!!!

My girls did a great job, too!!  My oldest did the first one and my youngest did the second one!

Rain, rain wouldn't go away......for that wonderful soccer day!

Can you tell my daughter just played a full game of soccer in the RAIN? I was hoping throughout the game that the photographer would cancel this picture session (which was to be after the game) - however, now looking back I love the memories! This season was a little wet..... and the picture reminds me of sitting on the sidelines watching my girl play in the rain!
