Somehow my camera cord, the one that I use to download pictures is broken...in a house of boys, one destructive puppy and my klutzy self, broken things are pretty standard. When I eventually get around to starting my Christmas shopping hopefully I will remember to pick one up when I am at Best Buy. I have been reluctant to post because I LOVE posting with pictures. This morning though, I had to record what my funny little boy has been doing with the Advent Calendar.
While visiting my inlaws for Thanksgiving, I borrowed the latest Martha Stewart Magazine, excited about creating an advent calendar for the boys that counts down the days to Christmas with a little present to be opened each day. So over the past couple weeks I collected little toys and treats and last Wednesday night I stayed up late wrapping 50 little treats and stringing them up in the only spot I could find that would hold the weight of it and I could keep it away from the puppy. Owen has this perfect hook in his ceiling where a basket of stuffed animals typically hangs. What I didn't figure on was that my crafty little boy would find scissors (although I have hidden two pairs from him) and cut down his gifts in the middle of the night. As I was getting him ready this morning I found wrapping paper crumpled up in his bed, a pair of new gloves, a snowglobe and a chocolate Santa....he was busy last night!
