Oh Christmas Trees... 4 actually... is that alot?

 when i told Cory that i wanted these trees from Macy's (they stopped decorating the 3rd and 4th floors so they were selling the extra trees) he was a bit worried because i said"trees" plural and he knows how i like to go over board... who me?

anyway... i got my way and we love them! i think this is the third yr having these... we have a 4th tree in the basement for all the crazy ornaments its decorated pink and and baby blue and fuschia and chartruse... not up yet... SUPER lazy right now.

 with flash.

Cory's idea... cute huh..

and just because i know that you all need to see yet another sleeping pic of Cory

 just a reminder... this man is 6'4" and he is curled up on the loveseat... for pete sake I can't even comfortably curl up on the loveseat!

notice the empty kit kat wrappers... this pic was taken NOV 1st.... 

i guess its really my fault... i had taken over all the available "sleeping" room with christmas decorating... poor baby...

i miss the summer...

hooray for holiday photo cards!

so excited about this deal! you have NO idea... the plans i have for our card this year... i crack up just thinking about it. (thanks Meg by the way, you are a creative genious!) i really needed a format that could show off many pictures at once..hint, hint.... and i like the cards that have a simple background that really focus you in on the photos, like these

found HERE

and HERE

do you die!!!  my kids are totally naughty so how perfect would that one be! maybe next year... this year i need room for 4 or more pictures so i really love how you can pick one with slots for so many pictures!

 Shutterfly even lets you pick how may pictures you want to use, how big and what colors and then narrows the search for you! its totally genious because otherwise i would be flipping through forever!

BEST PART...

 blog about this and you can get 50 FREE 5x7 cards for yourself!

WOO HOO

thanks shutterfly!

This is for you Sophie....

ok... here it is people

this is the opening song from The Story Of Job written by my friend Maureen Miles

 i know,
i posted way too many pics...
but sometimes, when the weather is cold and yucky, i need a little pick-me-up
and these kids on the tramp always crack me up...

and this

always cracks me up....
its like 4pm and we are all loudly playing in the front yard... didn't fase him... never does. Nap lasted about 5 mins... now you know how quick i have to be to capture these moments, i know, i'm talented.

i guess his feet were cold?

i wear a size 7 shoe... he is a 12...

i guess this is what i get for leaving my (super ugly, only wear them to drop Cora at pre-school) shoes on the floor..

 this is the money shot.

there are really no words... i could barely keep the camera still, i was laughing so hard..

Happy Halloween!

it was freezing!

blurry, but proof i participated, i sat on our porch and passed out candy... i figured that Cory's cow costume was the warmest so i went with it!

Mr. P is the big banana... in case you couldn't tell...

Cora snuck into Eva's class picture (i tried the panorama setting and the lockers in the back are all crooked and weird..)

Cora just joined in and completely ignored me like she was any other 2nd grader.

 ever since she started pre-school she has been telling me things like,

"when i am a teenager i will ride in the front seat." and i go," you and Eva will have to take turns" and she says "NO, we WON'T" and i'm like "dude, you are supposed to share with your sister!" and she says "nuh uh, Eva will be driving... you and Daddy can sit in the back!"

i was a scarey dragon...
