Let the Holidays begin!

Good Monday Morning Everyone! Well, it was a babysitting kind of weekend again. Around the holidays, Will and Sami like to spend nights with the "old folks"...We baked something called Pumpkin flats, made with carrot cake mix and made strawberry and banana smoothies. The flat pumpkin things were really good and the smoothies were...interesting...Lolol. We watched The Christmas Carol (new one) and The Last Airbender. They were both good movies. The main thing we did though, was snuggle and have fun. Hope you all had a great weekend as well. Looks like we're headed into Thanksgiving week. Time to get that frozen turkey set out into the refrigerator....

Joan, alas no...PicNik. The site I was trying to learn from doesn't seem to have very many PS7 tutorials...The hunt is back on for one that caters to Beginners!

Angel? Me? Nah, that word is NOT connected with me! I'll take some pictures sometime before Christmas, LOL. Decorating the second one now. Haven't decided whether to kill myself by putting out my santa collection.
