Our Life in Pictures

Filed Under: fun, joy, life, politics

What we’ve been doing:

Cracker Man

Playing with your food can be fun! Ryan made this “Cracker Man” this morning.

Here are photos from my fun and tacky Christmas. We couldn’t fit a regular size tree in our family room so we used a four ft fake tree in here. Ryan and Lily (the puppy) keep messing with the train.

My Santa advent calendar given to me by my mother-in-law, a picture of my late father-in-law dressed as Santa (oh how I miss him!), some of my favorite candles and a Fire Flower that the boys put on the wall.

A shot of my dining room. You can see that I set up all my Rudolph folks in here.

Our plans for this weekend. We’re teaming up, one kid per parent. It’s going to be so much fun, as long as we don’t eat all the candy before then! LOL

If I don’t have my surgery, which it looks like I won’t be before the holiday, then we’ll all sit around the table after Christmas dinner and pop our poppers. Inside is a corny joke, a cheap toy, and a paper hat. yeah, we know how to party over here, y’all.

The boys and I finally finished up the living room decorations. It seems crazy that we put all the boxes up in the attic and we’ll be dragging them back down in a couple of weeks.

Ryan and I made a cape and a mask for his Mario toy today. Iain’s been experiencing a resurgence of interest in the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess game. He is so good at figuring out how to get around in that game. You have problems to solve and maps to follow. I wish I’d had something like that when I was his age. Maybe I’d be better at reading a map today!

    Aw heck. Thanks Carri!

    Wow, that’s kind of weird that Catelynn made a cracker man, too! We made our gingerbread houses last night and that was fun as well. Who knew that playing with food could provide such entertainment?

    Your home looks lovely. Holiday crackers always bring back fond memories for me of England. I had never heard of them until we lived there. 🙂 Where on earth did you find them?

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. 😢

This cute little cup came in a pack from @christma This cute little cup came in a pack from @christmastreeshops and it’s bringing all the fall vibes today! 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!! ❤️❤️❤️
