I Want Candy......

On our last day at "home" me and my mom took the girls to a park, that way they could run off some energy before being stuck in the van for 3 hours. Then we headed to the candy store. Yes....there is actually a candy store there with you guess it candy! I remember going there as a kid and I couldn't wait to take the girls. The girls each got to pick out 2 pieces of candy. Then I also filled a bag up for me for the trip home.

I know some of my friends reading this right now are saying to themselves....Candy I can't believe she gives her girls candy! I'm actually not a huge fan of candy for my kids just because of all of the sugar and it so bad for your teeth, but I figure a special little treat here and there is okay. The kids haven't figured out yet that at Halloween about a week later I usually go through all of their candy and pitch most of it leaving just a little for them to pick through. They never seem to mind. I suppose the real issue is I just don't want them to have a sweet tooth like their mama!

I remember that candy store. I use to get the candy filled spaceships. I also remember when mom got mad when I asked for the candy cigarettes.

Welcome to our home at Christmas. When I heard that Boomama was going to be having a Christmas Tour of Homes , I thought that sounded like so much fun because so many of our family and friends aren't able to make it out to visit us during the Christmas season. So here are a few pictures of our home decorated for Christmas. As you walk in our front door we have this little tree sitting in our entry way As you can see I really like snowman! This is leading into the family room... This tree is in our family room and it is decorated with all of our family ornaments. Each year we buy the girls an ornament that represents something from the year for that child. It is a tradition that I have continued from my childhood. My favorite ornaments are the ones that are homemade by the girls! This is our big tree that is more formally decorated and is in our living room. This is our third year with an artificial tree which is definitely less messy but we have had lots of fun with the pre-lite l
