Busy weekend

I guess I sort of fell off the blog wagon there for a bit... But in catching up with all the blogs I read, I see I'm not the only one:) Even the blogs I read that seem to religiously post every day, have fallen short lately. It's just that time of year...no getting around it. Things have certainly been busy here that is for sure. Nine days and counting. John and I went Christmas shopping Friday night and before we knew it five hours had passed! I'm making cookies today along with a big batch of pork & sauerkraut. I'm still working away on gifts - grabbing a free minute here and there. We watched Bourne Ultimatum last night while working on our presents - I was scrapping, John was wittling (is that a word?). John is still fighting with the outdoor lights...there are sections not working and then he had to buy new, but they don't match the old so it's a never ending battle. Today the boys were going a bit stir crazy inside so we bundled them up and John took them outside to work off some energy and here is what they did...

Duncan's snowman...bigger than he is...with tissue paper hair (hhmmm..how long do you think that will last?)

Cooper's snowman...just putting on a few last finishing touches...

I am SO loving the hair... Cooper imitating his snowman...

And it worked - they are currently sleeping like logs. But I must get back to work...I have wrapping, gift making, picture printing, more baking, cleaning, laundry, some shopping and well, you get the picture.
