There’s always that one child on school photo day…

He found his magic.

For Father’s Day my youngest (7) christened me with a new nickname-Eiffel Daddy (he knows I love Paris).

I know there’s a PB churning here but all my ideas so far are not Eiffel Tower caliber.

Any suggestions to help spark the creative fire?

During the final years of my father’s life he spent hours sketching.

The pic on the left is one of his originals.

The pic on the right is a Christmas gift from my husband. He blew up the original and painted using his own artistic expression.

One of the best gifts I’ve ever received.

Jingle is still a little rough around the edges when it comes to social skills.

Woke up early this morning to discover this hot mess.

Our elf is a player.

I’m done.
It was a 3:00 am ‘Oh Sh*t’ moment and this is the best I could finagle in the dark of night.

Jingle the Elf is spending the next 3 weeks on a beach in the
Caribbean and will send hand written notes until Santa’s big night.

Daddy’s tired.

For all those planners out there who are pulling together their last minute Thanksgiving shopping lists…

…I have no idea what the intended item (3rd from the bottom) was before auto correct…but I’m praying that sh*t don’t make it to our table.

Plus, I’m not even sure Publix carries it.
