Time to Clean Up (Project 365-12/27/11)

New Toy (Project 365-12/26/11)

Sean got a Soda Stream for Christmas. He likes to drink mineral water, but that means we go through a lot of glass bottles. This little gadget will hopefully solve that problem, it also happens to be fun.

Christmas Eve

(Project 365-12/24/11)
The boys made these votives out of aluminum foil, canning jars and votive candles. It says “JOY” in case you can’t tell.

The boys got these games tonight. Beat the Parents was a definite favorite.

Gingerbread Houses (Project 365-12/23/11)

I used to make gingerbread houses with my classes and Colm has been asking to make a gingerbread house so I ordered these on-line. I bought a kit like this once for my nieces and was told that it was not a pleasant experience, so we shall see what tomorrow brings when we break these open.

Indoor Waterpark Fun (Project 365-12/22/11)

The boys had so much fun today. We went to an indoor water park that had a wave pool, at least four REALLY tall waterslides, an indoor water basketball court and a splash zone. We had so much fun that Colm fell asleep on the way home and that RARELY happens.

Land’s End Coat Drive (Project 365-12/21/11)

The coats have started to arrive! We got three today with more on the way! Woohoo!

Cookie Exchange (Project 365-12/20/11)

Last night I went to a cookie exchange. I took five dozen oatmeal scotchies and came back with five dozen different cookies. Let’s just say my family thinks I am some kind of genius.

First Day of Break (Project 365-12/19/11)

Liam had a friend over for the first day of winter break. I’d like to say they spent a lot of their time working on this project in the picture, but most of the time was spent discussing Pokemon.
