it's about time one of you lugheads said it!

Recent events from our house:
Pinga was sad! Because she will go outside without a coat or shoes. We're thinking of tying her to a stake in the kitchen so she can just pace around like a vicious dog.
It was Christmas! We scaled way back on the presents and it was a ton better. So much less stress and greed and nonsense. We're never going back. Unless we change our minds and want more stuff.
My visiting teacher brought over a goody basket that I never saw! Captain America looked through it and appropriated the good parts for regifting. He put the cheese ball and Wheat Thins in a gift bag and gave them to me on Christmas, two weeks later. This is the cheese ball.

it's no who hash, that's for sure

I have a bellyache from all the gingerbread dough I've eaten today. I barely had room for candy! Here are some action shots from my phone. The kids all did a great job. They stayed focused and were well-behaved, and it wasn't until we were leaving that Superman just started grabbing handfuls of candy and shoving them into his chimney (not a euphemism).
They love it and I love it and it (mostly) makes up for the fact that Pinga is probably going to be vomiting all night from the sugar bomb she has in her stomach.
