8 Days

I had hoped to do a post every day or two during Hanukkah, but we have been SO busy trying to finish up all of our homemade holiday gifts that I haven't even had time to stop and take very many pictures (plus, we wouldn't want the recipients to see their gifts on the blog first!). Remind me next year to start working on my holiday gifts in April! We've been having a lot of fun working on everything, but "relaxing" is definitely not on the description list of how we've been spending this holiday season! Since I'm short on time, I'm just going to post 8 10 pictures from the past 8 days e

Mitch and I made the boys a foosball table using a modified version of the one we saw HERE


Somebody started to sneak all the candy off the gingerbread house!

The elusive sold out Must-Have-Hot-Toy-of-the-Year: Zhu Zhu Pets! After weeks of stalking these things online, I finally managed to get my hands on two of them for retail price (instead of the ridiculous 400% price that they were selling for on Ebay and Craigslist!). Naturally, after all that hard work trying to locate these suckers, the motor inside of Sawyer's hamster stopped working after about twenty minutes. Darn you, Zhu Zhu Pets!

Sutton painting and glittering a pinecone - just one of the thousand projects we have made over the past few weeks!

Mitch made the boys these wooden doghouses for their beanie puppies. We saw a similar one HERE and knew that the boys would love them, but we weren't willing to spend a fortune for a few pieces of wood. Luckily for me Mitch is handy, and he whipped these things together in no time at all. He even hinged one side of the roof and added an easy-carry handle to the top. Nice work!

The boys love having a special place for their puppies to sleep now!

Meet Shelley, Sawyer's class pet. He/She (I haven't a clue!) will be staying with us for the next two weeks while school is on break.

Boppin' around on Rody in reindeer antlers...what more needs to be said?

It's been a long week, and we're all exhausted (but incredibly happy!) ♥
