Christmas Fruck Out


The picture is by my dear husband.

I was carrying my little beauty over to get a gift from Santa Christmas eve.

She was not loving Santa and was hanging from my waist like a spider monkey, face buried in my shirt.

I decide to share this pic after listening to my kids in the car today.

They were talking in the back seat.

We were on our way to the dreaded Chucky Cheese (I only agreed because it is their winter vacation and they want to do something “fun” after I dragged them to the gym with me).

They were discussing trying not to be afraid of Chucky if he was strolling around the place.

Then my son says  to my daughter “Are you going to be scared,  cause you fruck out when you saw Santa on Christmas”

Fruck out : the past tense of freak out.

I laughed so hard, not sure why but it still makes me giggle.

The Adventures of Jingles



We have an Elf on a Shelf and for 3 years now he has been well behaved,  quietly coming back from visiting Santa each night and hiding in a different spot.

After some surfing on the internet, he saw that other elves have little adventures at night.  Bored of the same old spots, he has decided have some fun.

The first morning my kiddos found him doing more than just hiding, they couldn’t contain themselves.  They were rolling on the floor with laughter.

We are all having so much fun with him.

Our Trip Down South



This is a photo of four generations of women in my family.

We were luck enough to get to spend Thanksgiving with my Grandparents and share my kids with them.  They live in a beautifully wooded part of southern Georgia.  The trees were amazing!

We had Turducken (a chicken inside a duck inside of a turkey) for Turkey-day and lots of other wonderful food GG Mae cooked up.  My grandparents looked wonderful and I realized just how much I had missed them.

The kids had fun running and driving around their woods and getting to know their great grandparents..not something all kids get a chance to do.   I miss them already.

After our visit with them we drove…yes drove…thank-goodness for portable DVD…down to Florida to stay with my mom.

We all had such a nice time there.  It was nice to get away and watch the kids on the beach.

It was so fun watching my mother with the kids and getting to share their unique personalities with her.  Man are they wonderfully “spirited”.  My mother has such a great way of helping me see some of the things that make me crazy as their mother differently.  I love seeing my kids through her eyes.

How lucky we are to have days like these….Thanks MOM!
