Here I am!

Hello all.  I'm sorry I didn't give a word of warning before I disappeared.  We were in the process of finally moving out of lodging and into our new house!! And of course, when we moved, we no longer had access to the internet.  It's been a long couple of weeks.

So, on this freezing and foggy morning, I give you a quick recap.

 

More baking. Chocolate chip cookies for Santa.

 

Our sweet little tree.

 

On guard!

 

Hubby's shop had a New Year's Eve gathering, complete with sparklers and fireworks.  I like his new shop.  Almost everyone has kids, so all get-togethers are kid friendly!

 

Apparently, I'm a hat girl now.  I needed something to hide all the frizz.  What possessed me to chop off all my hair when I knew I was coming to a place with constant high humidity?!  Looks like dreads are still a possibility....

 

Ooohhhh.

 

Aaahhh.

 

Boxes, boxes and more boxes!

 

We are almost done unpacking, and now we just need to organize.  It would be really helpful if we could have access to our garage to get some things out of the way.  Our neighbor has been parking in front of our garage ever since the last occupants moved out.  He knows we're here, he has been told by our landlord, and he is ignoring it all.  I do not think we're as lucky in the neighbor department as we have been in the past.

 

Miss Priss has finally started school!!  Poor thing, she was so bored stuck here at home.  She woke up sick on New Year's Day (our second bought of sickness since we've been here), and she was recovered in just enough time to make it to her first day.  She loves it already.  I'll post a pic of her in her cute little uniform soon.

 

BTW, Little Man's favorite movie is Thor.  He asks to watch it every single day.  He actually throws himself on the floor and cries if we tell him "No."  And yes, I know that is not the greastest thing for a 2 year old to watch, but if it gets him to sit still while I unpack/cook/clean, I'm ok with it.  If it scared him, or if he started to beat the crap out of us with the hammer, it would be different. He loves Thor's hammer.  He got a little tool set for christmas, and he carries the hammer everywhere with him now. 

 

And he loves The Avengers, too.
