in the house

I tell my boys every day that we must go outside and play. Yep. I the mean mom who makes their kids have fun outdoors rather than being cooped up inside.  (William actually tried to argue this point once.)

Anyways, today was a surprise.  We stayed inside all day, in our pajamas no less.  It wasn't cold. We aren't sick.  We just got busy and never changed or felt it necessary to go outside.  Well, I went out a few times to get wood- but still in my pajamas.

What were we doing?

Making a quick last minute gift for our neighbors.

I love these, they are recycled jelly jars filled with collected Florida acorns and a small votive.

 Creating a hotel for the animals.

 Gingerbread houses-  we made the dough from scratch and used a cookie cutter kit I had bought.  They came out awesome. So much easier to put together  than last years.  The homemade icing was just like glue.

 

I have been a bit sporadic lately with my postings. Not intentionally, but I guess I just needed a break from blogging.  Hoping that it will change and I will get back into the swing of things once the holdidays are over.  Wishing everyone a happy weekend!
