Hadlley is here

Hadlley, our little elf, showed up today & had som fun toliet papering Logan's room.

A surprise

I walk to my desk this morning & see a fresh arrangement of flowers on my desk. I figure it is for the whole kitchen. Once I get closer I see a card also. My name is on the envelope, I open it & the name it's signed by there are two people at work with that name. No last name listed. But I'm thinking to myself, why would either of them give me flowers, they must be for everyone. Such a mystery. Another co-worker comes in that works in the same room with one of the persons. I ask her to find out if it was her & if they are for all the kitchen or just me. She comes back in later & tells me that it was her & they are for me. It really made my day!! She used everything from her yard, except the carnations. Which by the way pink carnations are my favorite flower!!

Garden tomatoes. Yum!

I finally remembered to check my tomatoes that I had picked from the plants when they were green as could be & I was amazed to see that there were many that was ready. Oh my they were so yummy. Nothing like fresh garden tomatoes in December. Read the post about picking the tomatoes HERE.

LIGHTS, camera, action!!

It's time to grab those decorations & get that tree up. Here is the big tangle of lights for our tree.

Logan injury

I got up this morning & asked Logan to get the newspaper. Silly kid didn't put any shoes/socks on. He stepped on one of the trees seeds (or sticky balls as we call them). Sweetgum tree is the name of the tree. Once he stepped barefoot on it he fell, caught himself with his hands, but managed to scrape the end of his big toe.
As I was trying to put a band-aid on it I asked him how he managed to get all the hard to bandage injuries. He had nothing for me. **update, Monday he wore his shoes to school, but rubbed the scab off & wore flip flops for a couple hours. Tuesday he opted for flip flops all day at school, someone at lunch accidently kicked it & caused more pain. I think he's thankful for the Thanksgiving break. Photo from day 2.

No glasses

The kids annual eye exam was yesterday. Stephanie decided to try out contacts. When I got up this morning (early to wake her up so she'd have time to get her contacts in) she was already up & in the living room. Sitting on the couch with the table in front of her & the full length mirror from her room propped up against that. I asked her what she was doing. She told me the left contact went in first try, but that she got tired of standing up. The right one proved to be a bit tricky. She finally got them both in.

"I'm to old"

Logan's reading teacher does a fun thing each Friday called Fun Friday & the kids get to buy items from the Kirksey Kash they've earned for being/doing good through out the week. So Logan came home with this face mask a couple weeks ago. I snapped this funny picture & now I am having to use it for the Halloween post because Logan informed me he is to old to go trick or treating. Stephanie hasn't been into trick or treating for a couple years now.
