no clue what day it is :|

didn't
do ANY black friday shopping whatsoever yesterday :) instead we stayed in bed for coffee, cash cab and cuddles

did
deck the whole house with lights and little villages. we made a lot of new ornaments this year :) it's a very good thing as Martha would say

babysat
my pretend kids last night so their mommy and daddy could go on a date to target:) that equals 4 children. we read the elf on the shelf and immediately put the elf to work (thanks Chris and Jodi, he is named Scranton and absolutely adorable and treasured by my boys!) my pretend little girl immediately dismissed him as "just an ornament" :| i was forced to move him while she wasn't watching to prove he is real and she is now totally intimidated by him and his magical powers :)

bought
Danny's party favors at US Toys. there is absolutely no theme apart from everything being totally COOL and fun! oh and we had to sample the pizza and garlic bread that will be catering the party. it's gooooooooooooood pizza :) better than the garlic bread - yes, for the first time ever, i found pizza that gazumps the garlic bread :)

printed
our holiday cards at kinko's. yes kinko's :| and i love them! i hated white house the last two times i got their cards so i took them to the copy shop and viola/walla/bingo bango bongo (as people who can't speak a word of french say) they are done!! and i don't have to stress over unstraight borders, cropped heads, midwestern snowstorms canceling all UPS pickups :|

it rained
for 32 seconds today :)

the card: some assembly required

at their favorite toy store (ok and mine too:)


my own personal pocket-sized disneyland :)




the sick bay - one sick puppy and one sick boy who are feeling better today (fingers crossed:)
