December 1st ~ Fa La la...

My friend Jen asked if I was doing a December Daily...Hmm I wasn't sure? as I really didn't know what it was...She sent me to a few sights to check out different scrapbook albums regarding past December Daily's and it's basically a scrap layout for each day of December...I thought I could handle it (wink, wink, fingers crossed :o)...So it is December 1st and here's my layout for the day!

Journaling reads:

Michael was so excited this morning as it was December 1st. He was singing “We wish you a Merry Christmas” at the top of his lungs. He wanted to put the tree up tonight too. But I think his Fa la la got up and left. This is what I found a few minutes after we finished his homework. Poor Baby passed out on the Futon!

My Little Fisherman

Michael I think it’s time you got a bigger fishing pole! You’ve come along way since you started using that little pole. Lately you’ve been practicing your casting. You can cast quiet a distance but still need to work on your aim. All in due time, my little fisherman!

In the Garden...

Michael wanted to practice casting this evening and I wanted to take photos so we headed outside. Michael has been sick for the past 3 days running a fever and this is the first time he's felt good enough to go outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. Poor thing! I had also let the chickens and rooster out earlier and Michael won't go outside by himself when they're loose, sigh! Stupid rooster is getting a bit cocky!

The Mums just started blooming and so have a few other flowers, just in time for a cold front coming later tonight!

These Mum's were given to me by my friend Helen when my Step Father, John, died last year and they're gorgeous. Every time they bloom I think of John and what a wonderful person he was.

Purple Climbing Lantana

Carolina Jasmine...

Mmmm it smells so good! It just started blooming again and I love it but I'm afraid they might get frosted too, ugh!

There were a lot of lady bugs too!

And a few butterflies...

It's Christmas Time...

Michael and Ashley are so excited about Christmas. They can’t help but run. I wonder did the shepherds run too when they heard about the saviors birth? It’s Christmas time and there is excitement in the air!

November 2009!

Michael and I recently visited Hobby Lobby and he found a bead kit for candy cane ornaments. After I studied it for a few moments I told him yes! He was so excited. So later that night we sat down to assemble some candy cane bead ornaments. He did a great job and we had a lot of fun. I love being able to spend time doing something crafty with him. Quality fun time with my son over the Holidays is something I will remember for always and I hope he does too!
