Woo Hoot

Janine's Woo Hoot Wednesday time again.

.

Woo Hoot ... Lyndon's been in town all week :-)

.

Woo Hoot ... 3 weeks tomorrow till Christmas Day.

.

Woo Hoot ... Grandma comes next week - only 8 more sleeps :-) Every day Aaron asks if we can go to the airport to pick up Grandma off the plane! I think the next week is going to be a LONG one with him asking that all the time hehehee

.

What else ...

.

Scrapping goodies in the mail from Liza :-) Thanks so much. (This was just for visiting her blog! What a sweetie - I will find a use for that little stash of goodness I am sure :-) !!!)

.

Completing a LO for Kinda Sweet's next kit, and another one nearly finished. If I had been half way organised I could have had a sneak peek for you! (Oh well I'll do it tomorrow!) :-)

.

"Ice blocks" for the kids :-) I found a set of do-it-your-self iceblock holders at Ikea, and I am really cheap because I just fill them with water for the kids. They think they are SOOOO special hehee :-) I did try watered down Ribena ones, but they make such a mess when they melt all over their clothes, floor, face, so water it is :-) Here's a pic of Maddison enjoying hers this afternoon. (Keeps them quiet for a while too which is a bonus!!)

I have got lots of things planned, I'll list them here just to motivate me to get them done so I can woo hoot about them another week!!

.

* Plan to put the tree up this weekend.

* Plan to decorate this cool wooden Christmas bauble garland with the kids. I am going to let them help me paint and decorate them (I know I am brave!!). I'm going to cut the string off it though and then once they have been decorated I'll tie ribbon on each one separately to hang on the tree. Aaron will get a kick out of it I'm sure (and Maddison will probably lick the paint!! will have to keep her dummy in hehehee).

* Really wanted to participate in Ali Edwards December Daily Album, but just had a bit much happening with holidays, kits and such, so it wasn't a happening thing. But I keep thinking about it (a lot!) and I've decided I will start one from when Grandma arrives till she leaves, so it's a daily album of our time with her. Think that will be quite cool. Have stocked up on chipboard, now I just need to pull finger and make the album!!

* Have a list of things I want to make for Christmas presents (that's real progress for me just having a list!) so now I have my head sorted with what to do ... I just need to do it!! Maybe magically I can get another 10 odd hours a day to do all this stuff!!

.

Okay that's about it. I really need to get scampering and finish this other LO that's sitting on my desk and maybe make a card or two or five :-)
