Holidays
I have been madly working on a super top secret craft* for the Grandmas (and feeling guilt for not making one for the great-grandma, but the great-grandma actually does her own super top secret crafting. That’s my excuse anyway). This project is both ambitious with a one-year old and well, stupid frankly.
It also means that its been all I’ve been doing and I’m ready to not be doing it anymore to work on other, not so intensive, craft projects.
Thankfully, the kid is well adept at entertaining himself for a certain amount of time. Of course, the contents of most of my kitchen cupboards might be on the floor within half an hour, but at least he isn’t whining.
We have a very Christmassy afternoon planned. Picking up some pictures from the photographers to put into our Christmas cards (which are ready to go, minus the pictures, thankfully) and then off to the mall to see Santa! Should be exciting! I bet any money we walk away without a picture with Santa, however. But I figure a good Mama at least tries. So try I shall.
*I trust some of you already know what a secret top secret craft is. Banking my mother doesn’t. Or at least, hoping.

I do not know what a Super Top Secret Craft is, however, I have hopes that it will be something that I have been waiting for since you were married!?!
Said project you speak of is in the works, and I may (or may not) be able to finish it next week to bring with me… its not what I speak of, though.
But its in the works. Really. I promise!
Laughing at your mom’s response!
Woooo Hoooo!! Next week is approaching fast! Can hardly wait to see Sir Callum ( and you and Steve, too, of course
You lost your bet because Callum did manage not to cry in horror for a split second –lucky the photographer was quick!!!!He sure didn’t think much of the old gentleman in red !!!
Callum, thank you for not screaming for a split second. It was the best split second of the christmas season for an abused old man.
P.S. sorry about your pants, but that was not my fault.
