The gift are unwrapped  and the tree is not trimmed
The stocking aren't hung and my eyes are red rimmed
I can't find the tape, my son took it all
I looked in the laundry, I looked in the hall
The shopping can't wait till the end of the week
The oldest just fell and bit the side of his cheek


Just a few thoughts on how I feel this Monday! Hope to perfect the mom side of Christmas soon, before my subjects leave the castle.

I have always felt that I am an expert Cinnamon roll maker. Actually I am quite famous for them. That and my spaghetti. However, I am a poor baker. Fellow blogger and friend (check out the velvet ribbon on her web sight, Mcmaster and Storm) has shown me up. I am not sure whether to feel insulted or informed. She served the King  and I the most scrumptious rolls you could ever imagine.  She also shared the secret, so after I make them, I will reveal if it worked. Thanks for the tip friend.

Found! Legos that you can pick out individually, not expensive sets.  For 14.99 you can fill a decent sized cup with any Lego combo you can imagine. Look at an exclusive Lego store for a penny candy style display and choose away. I know the royal subjects will be totally thrilled.  I need to find a nice box to store them in, any suggestions on a good Lego box? Hurry with the idea.

We let the puppies roam around the porch today. They looked so cute! Their little tails were wagging as they explored a new space. They also started fighting. And they are always hungry. It's like having five more subjects. Remember this is a good time to let me know if you art interested in a royal hound.

My niece is such a hoot. She brought in snow for her and her brother to wash their faces with. She let sit till it melted and then that night they had to wash with it. I know that she secretly wishes she was Laura Ingalls. This is not an exclusive story. She also has a sun bonnet.
