Christmas is tight this year

To each of our dear friends and family,

This is somewhat embarrassing to admit. Sean is not getting his annual bonus, so Christmas is tight this year. We are choosing to make the most of our situation, and will be giving homemade Christmas gifts.

I will be making bedroom slippers for you all as gifts. Please let me know your sizes. I think you would agree that this is a great idea. If you would like to do the same, I've included the slipper instructions below.



Bedroom slippers out of maxi pads:

You need four maxi pads to make a pair. Two of them get laid out flat, for the foot part. The other two wrap around the toe area to form the top. Tape or glue each side of the top pieces to the bottom of the foot part. Decorate the tops with whatever you desire, silk flowers (this is most aesthetically appealing), etc.

These slippers are: * Soft and Hygienic * Non-slip grip strips on the soles * Built in deodorant feature keeps feet smelling fresh * No more bending over to mop up spills * Disposable and biodegradable * Environmentally safe *

Three convenient sizes: (1.) Regular, (2.) Light and (3.) Get out the Sand Bags. I've attached a photo of the first pair I made so that you can see the nifty slippers for yourself.... Awaiting your res ponse. It's crucial that I get the right size for each one of you.

A good laugh is the real gift---Merry Christmas!!!!!

The icing on the Cake!



When Emily left for preschool today, I though..."Wow her outfit can't get any more hillarious! I guess I was wrong.

She leaves for preschool wearing a glow in the dark skeleton shirt, yellow flower stretch pants (I chose those), and yes Buzz Lightyear moonboots that light up! As funny as this is, I do think it is one of the things that make Emily who she is. She truly is a joy to have in our home.


Doesn't this photo of a cute little blond preschooler just scream
"Merry Christmas!"
