I love this time of year…I get to play with my favorite toys!

Rudolph and Friends

Ryan loves my toys, too.

Before unschooling, I never would have let him play with these. Now I enjoy seeing him delight in playing with them, too.

This picture perfectly describes my situation at home. Sometimes, I’m Hermey…sometimes I’m the Bumble… 🙂

    Alison, they’re my favorite shows, too! Most of them were purchased at Target about 5 years ago, but you can find them on ebay. I don’t know of any stores carrying them which makes me sad because there were so many that I wasn’t able to afford to buy at the time!

    Check out ebay, looking up Rudolph and Friends. The name of the company that made them is Praying Mantis I think.

    Good luck! Come back and let me know if you get any!

    These are fantastic! We unintentionally ended up with a santa collection (gift from a friend, one that was my mom’s..) kept giving me santas. I would so prefer these guys! Have fun playing.

    Ooooh! I love Santas, too! We have one that my MIL gave us and he kind of looks evil, but I like him anyway. Rudolph, Santas, and Gingerbread people are my favorite holiday decorations.

    If there were a way to make my house look like a Gingerbread House, I would SO do it!

    Mmmm, Bumble’s disposition when he had his wretched toothache – that would be me on some days!
    But sometimes I’m Clarice, too.

    I love Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer! I have such fond childhood (and lets face it) grown up memories watching it!

    Steph, I can totally see you as Clarice! 🙂

    Sheri, I still enjoy it so much, too. The Heatmiser is another one I love! Oh how I wish I had a Heatmiser toy!

    I don’t like decorations much around here, but I might make an exception for these! I LOVE those old kids’ specials. My sister and I still make the little licking sound like YUUU-Kon Cornelius and then say, “Nuthin.” 🙂

Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misd Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misdiagnosed by the first vet we used here and that led to a situation where the treatment almost seemed worse than the disease. Thankfully, @lawndale_vet helped us navigate that situation and they have nursed this big boy back to a much happier place. We still are uncertain about how much time we have left with him but, for now, he is the happiest we have seen him in a long time. I am so thankful to the staff at Lawndale for, not only providing great medical care, but for loving on him and making him feel like the best boy ever at each appointment. ❤️❤️❤️

Sorry, not sorry. Christmas is my favorite season Sorry, not sorry. Christmas is my favorite season and I’m getting a jump on decorating this year.

This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been suffering with licking granulomas since last March. We got the first one healed and then he got one on his other paw. Then that one got better but his paw pads got rubbed raw by the protective boot he was in and now are infected. Fingers crossed that this cone helps keep him from licking it so he can heal. Until then, Bowie is going to be a very sad boy, indeed. 😢

Yes, it’s still almost 80° here in NC but I’m getting impatient for cooler temps. Trying to will the cool air in! And how cute is that plate behind my cup? My sweet friend @tlventura made it for me and it’s one of two fall decorations I kept when we moved. Hope you’re having an awesome day wherever you are, friends!! ❤️❤️❤️
