It's That Time Again

Olivia was my helper today & was very excited to watch!

 

I made another year's supply of laundry detergent this weekend. I made a batch last January & it lasted a year & worked great. When you can make a year's supply for less than $5 & it only takes about an hour & a half total you just can't pass that up!

I highly recommend the paint stir attachment for the drill- makes it so much easier to stir when it solidifies. Thanks mom- best Christmas present I got! 

Christmas Morning

Her 1st look!
 

 

 

You think she'll let me borrow this….

 

 

Poole Christmas

Uncle Matt always makes family time fun.....

We never claimed to be a 'normal' family....but we sure have fun! Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

 

Headed to church for the Christmas Eve service.

Cookie Swap

My little helper & I made almost 200 cookies! She had lots of fun & no doubt she inherited her momma's sweet tooth!

Cameran & Olivia at the Cookie Swap. Cameran is so sweet to our kids & they sure do love her! 

 

 

LOVE This Boy!

How can you not LOVE this sweet face?!


He is a MESS, but he is precious & brings us so much joy!

Growing Snowman

We've had lots of fun watching our growing snowman! Thanks Cameron & Aunt Becca!

Wedding Weekend

 

 

 

 

We had lots of fun celebrating ALL weekend for Dawn's wedding! It was a beautiful service & I am happy to report the kids did well!!! I am not sure anyone got a picture of Colin coming down the aisle on the sled, but it was the cutest thing!
Olivia got a little restless & I sure wish I had a camera as she sat on the front row & pulled the tulle layer of her dress up over her head! I quickly sent her to go sit with Uncle Matt after that!

Disney On Ice

 

Olivia & I went to Disney on Ice tonight. She was so excited & loved watching the show! Fun girl's night out with our friends!

Andy's Back!

The kids found Andy on the tree this morning & were very excited that he's back!

A Warm Winter Day!

 

It was in the mid 70s today & we enjoyed some fun in the sun on the church playground! 

"Wolf Lodge"

 

We spent the night at Great Wolf Lodge Friday to celebrate Cayden's 4th birthday! Olivia calls it "Wolf Lodge" & she had a blast, we all did. A great way to celebrate a special little boy's birthday! Olivia loved splashing around with Linden & Cayden. Wish I had more pics, but I broke the camera right after we got there. I'll have to get a picture of all 3 kids from Lindsay soon.

Colin stayed home & LOVED all the 1 on 1 attention he got from Granny! He went to the Christmas Parade & enjoyed time with Uncle Matt, Aunt Toni, & Carter. Thanks for taking such good care of our little buddy!

Wonder Where She Gets It?!

Olivia decided to organize her Little People this morning. She was a little concerned with the 3 empty spots & it stressed her out a bit trying to figure out how to fill them….hmmm….wonder where she gets this?! 

A Week with Grandma

We had a great trip to Florida visting Grandma Plume. Special memories & already looking forward to our next trip! 

Who Needs Black Friday?!

Who needs Black Friday when you can get all of this for FREE & be done before the mad rush even starts tonight! There is children's Advil, batteries, & even a set of Philip's earbuds in there! 4 toothbrushes & 180 flossers will keep Dr. Sims happy! Seth is really excited about the 2 Dove dark chocolate bars, & Olivia gets Play-doh & fruit snacks. Guess that leaves me w/ a command hook (you know how I love to organize!) some chap stick, paper products, & caramel candy- yum! Thanks CVS!

& less than $1 for these. Couldn't resist- great snack food for the long drive home Saturday! Colin needed something in the CVS deals so he gets the Cheerios! & the box is an 8 pack of nail polish.
Didn't have my coupons on the trip =(, or I would have gotten everything free & even made a few dollars on the deals, oh well- I'll take what I can get!

I don't shop Black Friday. I love a good deal, but I don't love crazy crowds & insane shoppers, so these will have to be my great deals of the week! Sure helps that there is a CVS on every corner in Florida & we're out & about all week! 

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

Let me type Daddy...

She started sending emails when I went to London

We Love the Hamm Fam!

 

Thanks for a great visit, lots of fun, & lots of love! 

Mr. Monday!

 

The Simple Things!

Acorns & a paper towel tube….he LOVED it!
