On this day way way way back in the 70’s

My favorite person was born. I can say way back since I was born in another decade entirely. He was 2 weeks shy of being in my decade to, but he’s not. So he’s old. In a very cute and grizzly beard, only slightly older way.

He’s out of town right now working so I miss him like crazy and don’t get to see him today but I know he checks my blog (he’s my favorite blog stalker) so Happy Birthday! He always likes to post embarrassing pictures of me on special days so I thought I would return the favor. Unfortunately I’m out of embarrassing picture ammo but I do have this little gem. Proof that artificial trees do have a place in the home. He’s putting broken limbs back on his gargantuan live Christmas “bush” with the drill. If you stand back far enough, and don’t mind the oozing sap, you can’t even see the green zip ties ;). Love you and see you tomorrow!

In crafty news the Christmas dresses were finished on time but not without my fair share of tears and chocolate. This is the best shot Cody could get of them all, thank goodness dad is home on the weekends because I was in the bathroom freaking out at this point lol! Don’t pay any attention to my homemade priority box child gate on the stairs… I told you not to look!

And this is what I’ve been up to since I finished the dresses. Goldilocks and the Three Bears peg people and their little Tudor cottage. I can’t even say the word “Tudor” without snickering (yes, I’m a twelve year old boy) but that’s the look I was going for.

I blogged about the peggies and where I got the house idea from here. The kitchen is a little sparse in the appliance and chair department so I still have a few things to finish. I’m sure I’ll be doing that on Christmas Eve.

Only 2 beds. Goldilocks must have already been over and broken one. Uh yeah. That’s what Kaci is going to hear anyway ;).

The 3 is symbolic. It’s for the three bears who live there and also because Kaci is three. She associates the number 3 with being hers. It doesn’t matter what it is, if it has a 3 on it- it belongs to Kaci. She tells me “me three” instead of “me too” all the time. Love that girl.

And a little bag to carry all the bits in. I still have 5 p.j. shirts and some shopping to do so I probably won’t be on again until after Christmas.

Have a Merry Christmas full of Christmas bushes, family, friends, and eggnog!
