December Randomness, Part I

Here's some (of many!) fun stuff we did in the month of December:

Dec. 1

My sweet neighbor thought of me and bought me this cheese advent calendar! She knows what I like, haha. I was super excited to try it. There were only 6 different cheeses, so after a few weeks I got kinda tired of it.

Dec. 1

Gabe wrote a note to Erik. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what Gabe wants? Looks like money. I'm sure this isn't the last time one of the kids is going to ask Erik for money!

Dec. 2

We all went out to Bobby Q's, where I had probably one of the best burgers I've ever had in my whole life. It was so good, it didn't need any ketchup. Also amazingly delicious are the Q rolls, deep fried egg rolls stuffed with delicious brisket. I don't think I've gone to Bobby Q's without all of the the food being extremely delicious.

Dec. 3

I'm know I'm one of the few weirdos who finds rodents cute, but to find a rat in our backyard...not so cute. Actually Erik found it in the backyard.

Dec. 4

I made Elisa a new shirt using the same fabric as the one I made for Tootsie. Ian insisted on being in the photo!

Dec. 4

Ian making his gingerbread house with Grandma. I bought gingerbread kits for the kids at Fry's for $5. Gabe got frustrated with his and gave up. These kits are hard and very very messy!

I made her a mask to match her shirt.

Dec. 4

We all went out to Ajo Al's for dinner. It was pretty yummy!

Dec. 5

Silly Ian is obsessed with sporks. He brings them home from school lunch regularly. Sometimes he'll hide one in his sock and sometimes his pocket. This time when he put the spork in his pocket, it found a little hole to wiggle out of and got itself stuck inside the lining of his pants. I spent more time than I'd like trying to fish that spork out of his pants, but there was a small hole in the pocket that I didn't see the first time.

Feb. 5

I made a loaf of bread using seminola flour. It was okay, good right out of the oven but didn't retain its moisture for long after.
