on the to do list...

<-finish making "non breaking, non chokable, can't hurt anyone if thrown" ornanments for the tree (all of my beautiful Pier 1 glass ornament are not coming out of the box this year or as long as Kai is a ball throwing tree shaker)

<-take more pics of my hairclips and sell on etsy
I am calling them "kali klips"



Put Kali's movies away (after opening each box & trying to match the right disc with it's box) Oh that girl!








My eternal nemisis...the laundry pile, sadly this is ONLY what needs to be washed & there are two HUGE "to be put away" piles. Want to come help me??







Admire my awesome new flip flops, you have GOT to love PHX the only place where you buy NEW flops for winter.


Prevent this child from cracking his head open...honestly! This is what he does when I cook, he crawls up the back of the couch and over this little window--ahhh! (He is the reason I have gray hair showing in the pic of me by the tree..yes, in a few years I am going to look like Cruella De Vil)
