On the Sixteenth Day of December- Team Up Thursday

 

This week at Team Up Thursday, Megan and I chose to go with the contest theme of "December".  Megan is on top and I am on the bottom.  If you have a December themed diptych it's not too late to enter our contest.  You can 'til the end of today.  Just add your dip to the Flickr pool and tag it "Team-Up Contest".  Megan will post all of the entries on her blog tomorrow for you to see.  A little prize is involved so you'll want to play along.

The girls have their school Christmas parties today.  They are both at the same time so I'll be bouncing back and forth.  Friday is a half day for them.  Does anyone else sometimes think they'll just keep the kids home on half days?  It seems like so much work to do just to get them to school for half a day.  But they're making the day so much fun with the jammies at school and the reading of The Polar Express and the drinking of the hot cocoa.  I don't think even Vienne would want to miss school with all that going on.  I guess I should relish the few hours left of my sanity.  Until January.  Man, does January seem so far away now.

On the Fourteenth Day of December- Boerne, TX Children's Photography

I know.  I thought the candy cane heart was overused, too.  But Mom had never seen it done before so we went with it. 

This cute gal and Vienne have know each other since they were 3.  Little Miss was is such a poser that all of her pics came out beautifully.

Brother on the other hand served up quite a bit of ham and cheese.

Kids will be out of school soon.  Working hard to get all of my work done so that we can play, play, play.  Most of my shopping is done.  What about you?

On the Thirteenth Day of December

Last Friday, we took the girls to Fredericksburg to go ice skating.  They have this cute outdoor ice skating rink.  Both of the girls did great but ended up so wet by the end (they were in dire need of a zamboni).  

In the same square, they have this wooden tower thing that is wind powered.  The wind spins the propeller things and the wood figures turn.  So very cute, like an oversized toy.  Oh, and that really is the moon.  Cool, huh? :)

On the Nineth Day of December- Team Up Thursday

 

This week at Team Up, Megan and I chose "words" as our theme.  Megan is on the top and I am on the bottom.  Megan's is perfect for the season.  There's something very romantic about looking at music on paper like that.  My picture is a note that Vienne wrote to Hurmey.  In case you can't read her handwriting, it reads, "Dear Hermy.  You are doing a good job.  We are being good."  And they (meaning she) really is being good.  I think I might find a way to market a elf for each month of the year.  

As mentioned on Megan's blog, this weeks theme, and challenge if you choose to accept it, is also a contest.  If you are entering you must post your contest dip to our Flickr pool and tag your image with "Contest Team-Up".  Our theme this week is "December".  Use your imagination and get creative.  Collaborate with your partner.  Megan and I will judge and will name one Team Up team as the winner next week.  Who doesn't like to win a prize, huh?  And have fun of course.  Enter now thru Dec. 15.
