Gift-Giving




I know, I know; I'm doing gift-giving Sunday on Monday.






To Sourpatch:




Mom has a Pentax and I love it. It has so many cool features. My favorite is color filter. You can have the camera make everything black and white except for one color, like red. This Camera can go underwater and do tons of other awesome things.







For Caroline:



I love making things out of clay. Sculpey is my favorite. I thought you would like these kits for making things like jewelry and erasers.



Join at Caroline!

Charlotte



I haven't done any pictures of Charlotte lately.





Plain clothes...

Getting her "nice" clothes; throwing a fit



Santa hat!









Here comes trouble

She's bossy like her mother

Christopher


Me in the santa hat

What is she thinking?


Well, those are the most recent of Charlotte.

Oh, by the way, I made more sugar cookies today.  These have icing and sprinkles.

Things in my House Thursday #21


I got this little silver tree from Walgreens. I origanally got it to decorate my room, but decided to let it sit somewhere else so the candle could be lit (and my room is really messy right now).




Now for your viewing pleasure:

The sugar cookies I made yesterday.



Do you like his orange highlights?

Pronunciation

Today is my Blogoversary.  

The End.


Kidding, kidding, kidding.

My mother was saying I should write a poem for this post.  I was not about to write a poem; for me, writing poems is horrible, but it did start another discussion. 

 Mom pronounced poem more like poim.  Christopher thinks this sounds like "boing" so he immediately started bouncing around the kitchen saying, "poim, poim, poim" (what seventeen year old doesn't?).  We all started discussing how families tend to pronounce things the same way..... but thankfully, Mom doesn't pronounce everything the way her parents did:

Warsh rag, shurff...



Hey! Somebody call the Shurff!  All my warsh rags are missing!  


One time, when my my mom was up in one of those "New" places, could've been York, Jersey, who knows; She was having dinner with her friend and her friend's friend (who was from the New place), we'll call him Temerity.  So, Temerity was ordering whatever, say, the Herb Chicken (totally made that up).  However when he said herb, being up north and all, he pronounced the 'H', unlike down here in the south.  When Temerity said this, my mom was just in one of those moods where everything is funnier; so she started laughing really hard.  

I don't think I would start laughing if someone said HHHerb, but I would think it was weird (and that's all that matters)

So there you have it, my Blogoversary post.

Things in my House Thursday #20



I decided that instead of always doing something from my room, I would mix it up sometimes.

So, I just want you to know, THIS IS NOT IN MY ROOM! It is in the kitchen. :)






I used a chocolate cake mix, but I changed it a little. There was another recipe on the side of the box that used pudding mix; I made that one. The icing is made out of powdered sugar and milk, that's all! I made it last night, as you can see, half of it is gone. It will probably be gone by tonight.
