GMYBS- Links on a Chain

Everyone,

I have been running from one thing to another day getting ready for Butterfly’s big birthday bash tomorrow.  We’re having a carnival and hopefully it will turn out okay.  I’ve got a million and one things running through my head.  Mostly I’m just happy I found my underwater camera that is my video camera today.  It has a tendency to walk away in small hands.  This time, I found it in my camera bag.  Imagine that.

Ahem…moving on.

Tonight we had the great pleasure of going to a wedding of Juice’s cousin.  It was a lot of fun to see all of our relatives, and to have everyone remark on how SIMILAR Butterfly and Pirate were to all the other little cousins running around.  Gotta love those genes and how they show up!  Also, it’s fun to hear of all my cousins who read the blog.  Hi guys!

Juice’s cousin was in charge of pictures and asked me to bring my camera along and help out a little.  I was a bad phototog and didn’t charge my batteries.  So the camera ran out of juice right as they were cutting the cake.  (See Dad this is why I need a battery grip!)  Still, Jenny was able to get some good pictures (I just handed my camera over to her.  You try wrangling 3 kids and try and take pictures!)  I was also able to help her stage family shots and get every one’s attention.  Juice’s comment after we were done with the pictures: “Your dad would have been so proud.”

I took this picture of Juice making his chain mail gloves.  A tutorial is in the works (hence the pictures) but I really liked this one for some odd reason.

Step 4, hook links together

I like the depth of field and the picture of Juice with tools in his hands. Something he loves to do.

Facebook Last Month

Everyone,
Because I can’t think of something better to say today, here are my facebook updates for the month of December.
Just finishing buying up the last of her Christmas presents and didn’t spend any money! How did I do that? By getting free amazon gift cards from Swagbucks! Are you swagging yet? Join in and get free money too. Check my home page for a link!
Who wants a Christmas card? Speak now or miss seeing my kids this year.
SNOW!! Big wet flakes. The first snow of the season!
My hands smell like chocolate!
People say there is a big storm coming. Is it, really?
Thinks ward Christmas parties with twin toddlers is overrated. :P
Thinks Christmas card envelopes should taste better.
Need a babysitter on Friday night!
Snow? Really, maybe?

Awesome awesome snow storm! Just got back from a date and the roads are killer (since no one knows what to do) but we have at least 2 inches of the cruchy stuff. Love it!

19 inches and still going!

Snow pictures on my blog. Go to my profile for the link!
Had a great time sledding this morning and now off to see the Christmas Lights!
Delaying writing in my blog and I don’t know why.
Lost a stocking stuffer! Ack! Found it about an hour later.
Off to an MNO! Can’t wait!
Back from Mt. Vernon and I am tired!
I think I use exclamation points too much. Huh…
Looks like a pretty good month to me. Lots of snow, Christmas, free stuff, times out with friends…just what a December should be.
