Merry Christmas to US!
did you see the last post about Ellie? did you notice the carpet? Totally disgusting. Beyond disgusting. It should have been replaced before we moved in FIVE YEARS AGO. But it wasn't and I'm actually becoming a better housewife (shocking, I know) and no matter what I do the carpet looks so dirty, which in turn makes the whole house look dirty. So I asked for new carpet and I got the ok!!! The Carpet man is actually coming today to measure and next week they'll install!!! New carpet for Christmas!!!
style girl.
She's her own girl. Honestly, she's got amazing personal style...it may not always match...or be in the same color family but it all goes...especially with her personality.
p.s. no she did not get glasses, those are my old Nicole Miller's from High School.

I'm a WINNER!!
I won, I won, I won!!!!
Growing up I never (ever) won anything. In 6th grade we all got to draw money pencils and one of them had a hundred dollar bill on it, I of course drew a regular pencil and then my best friend went right after me and I had a feeling she was going to win the big one....she did, she drew the $100 pencil...do you know how much $100 is to a 6th grader? It's pretty much a million dollars. My point being that I never won things, it's not my lot in life. But I think my luck is changing.
A few months ago I won a Toy Box Tee on Giveaway Today. A few weeks ago I won a DownEast Basics dress on Just For Me...and You I got the new Over and Under Dress!!
I couldn't believe it!! You know my new thing is dresses and I really like wearing them, for the first time in my life I feel really comfortable in a dress. I got it in the mail on Monday and I can't wait to wear it on Sunday!! This week I won on Design Dazzle a FREE MJM Book!! It's a book you get to personalize for your child.
There's this great story called "What Animal are You?" and it just screamed Eva. So I chose what the character would look like (more or less) and they inserted her name and a little note from us.
It's absolutely adorable. I think we'll wait and give it to her for her birthday. That's right, she's almost 6. Which in turn means I'm getting old.
Happy Winning to all the losers out there, I was once one of you, and I'm here to say, you can make your own luck(and by that I mean take an hour a day and enter all the free giveaways online)!!

Thanksgiving: Yes these are the only pictures I took.
I'm a blog addict of clothes, crafts and food.
I think I saw this originally on Be Different...Act Normal, but it was everywhere. Anyway, I ended up being rushed for time on Thanksgiving day (I made cheddar garlic biscuits, you can kind of see them underneath the turkey rolls, artichoke crab dip and a cheese ball) so I showed the blog pic to Jeremy and he created our little Turkey Rolls! Do you see it? The girls loved it.
Elle modeling her pilgrim hat, which Eva made at school the day before. Eva had a harvest party at school and they made cornbread and everyone brought a fruit from home to make a fruit salad, they also learned about totem poles and Native Americans last week.
Elle makes this hat look good!

two words: eight. pack.
That's true excitement in our eyes. believe that.
I found these screen prints online (for FREE) and Michelle ironed them on for us...we got TONS of compliments on them.
This was a good two hours before anything happened. BUT we did get awesome seats AND everyone in our little theater was really cool, we had an "older" crowd, it seemed to be mostly freshman in college and women (and some men) older than us. I'm really glad we chose the 12:08am showing.

Love this Song
I don't listen to the radio. I don't know what's "cool" or "hip" these days. I know that most of the music I hear (when I turn my radio on long enough to put in a CD) is not what I would consider music, it's more like lots of sounds with (usually) some sort of sexual innuendo. I shutter to think this is what my YW grow up with. Anyway. My point, is that I have no idea how "new" or "old" this song is but I heard it tonight and I really like it. My favorite line is, "when the roof caved in and the truth came out" love it, I love a good play on words. And shockingly enough it's a nice song...nothing inappropriate.
