This boy...

Was chosen as Star Student of the week...

He is just tickled. He got to bring home one of his teachers pets (thank goodness not one of the live ones :o) and he chose the gorilla. Let me tell you "Gorilla" has been having the time of his life. He's watched tv, been read too, played with, even got to ride the scooter. He's been introduced to KitKat and Jake. Had the privilege of sitting with Momma and Daddy. Had his teeth flossed and brushed (pretending Momma). And when Daddy went to bed Gorilla was warming his pillow for him! One very Lucky Gorilla and one very Happy Boy!

It's Official...

It's Christmas time in our household, Fridge the snowman is up!

And below is my Layout for December 11th with the December Daily...

~

I bought this Snowman kit for the fridge a few years back. Just because we don’t have snow doesn’t meant we can’t have a snowman. It’s really not Christmas until we get Fridge the snowman out. Michael and I have started a tradition with him. We find it kind of amusing. I’ll arrange Fridge one way and Michael will change him a different way. Poor Fridge is in a constant state of change, but we still love him!

My world is Brighter...

I was browsing by google blog reader last night and someone mentioned a new digi store opening and a free kit...I immediately thought, cool. I had taken this photo the other night of Michael and wasn't sure how I wanted to scrap it...When I saw the free kit I knew the colors were perfect and I loved the word art that came in the kit...If you'd like to go take a look at EHStudios click here.

Thank y'all for the Birthday wishes for Fred. He had a great day!

Relocation project...

For the past year or more I've had problems with Raccoons eating our barn cats food. It's frustrating and I finally reached the point where it was time to do something! I went and purchased a live animal trap and guess what I caught?

2 youngsters!

In my early years I used to hunt them. At $30 + a hide it was decent money. But the fur market has dropped and their hides aren't worth much. I don't have the heart to put them down so I relocated these 2 youngsters a few miles away...I'm sure the rancher wouldn't be happy to know this but it's done! It's early morning here and I need to get some sleep but have a few things to do first...

I checked the trap and it seems I've caught Momma too!! Yea!! She'll be relocating too...I'm hoping that is it but more than likely not...pesky little critters!
