Not many sleeps left & each day seems to race by! I thought the weekend would be pretty productive but I ended up doing some family pictures for a friend and then it stormed on Sunday and well, here it is Monday. ONE WEEK left... nothing wrapped, only about half our cards have gone out in the mail, nothing is wrapped, there is still some shopping to do.
this was a little tricky! One of the girls did NOT want to do the photo thing, she was right in the middle of a serious puppet construction & we had the nerve to interrupt her. The final result is a combination of a couple of face swaps from other photos. I also found the electrical cords distracting so I removed those. I'm so excited to find new things that I can do with this software!
However, I do have most of my shopping done, 2 batches of my candy made, one batch of shortbread cookies in the freezer and the tree is up! So we're not out of the running yet!
Hey! where'd that chair go? Gotta love photoshop!
I got some pictures of the decorating we did on Sunday. Sweetie wasn't too interested in putting ornaments on the tree. Her main concern was putting chocolates in her mouth! She did take a break from the snack buffet and hung some of her things up. Lovey & Honey couldn't get enough of the ornaments & kept going back for more & more until they'd scrounged every last thing out of the box & jammed it onto the lower branches of the tree. From waist high & up, the decorations are pitifully sparse & are mainly comprised of the breakables that we're trying to keep out of reach!
Murray may have made a few trips to the snack bar too...
*sigh* Poor Dora. We had a little incident & luckily there was only one casualty. Unfortunately it had to be Honey's favourite ornament...
Post decorating, these two decided they'd both be Mary and go for donkey rides. This turned in to donkey races as they competed for first place in the Bethlehem 500. You'll notice Mary/Sweetie has a good grip on baby Jesus but Honey either hasn't had hers yet or has misplaced the babe... Earlier in the day, Sweetie had Jesus (aka White Bunny/Sarah/Almon) in a stroller and was zipping up and down the hall, going in and out of different rooms. I asked her what she was doing & she said she was Mary (in KKK dress???????) and she was taking baby Jesus to Bethlehem. She was really on the move so it was hard to keep up with her and she seemed to be having a hard time finding a suitable stable. Each "inn" she went to, she'd check it out, decide "nah! too BUGGY!" and race off to her next destination.
