Bad Mama

Terrible terrible, bad mama award goes to yours truly. The last few weeks were spent making stuff for pressies or organising things for the annual Winter Faire at school and ignoring the boys requests to play another board game.

making stuff #1

I'm happy to report that the show was a great success with both the Mama- Made crafters booth and the Dragonfly Artisans being pretty swamped all day. New tires are paid for, yippee! Um, yes it's doesn't take much to please me... Donovan Boy wrote a beautifully scripted letter to Santa Claus this year asking for what I can only assume hasn't been invented yet.

He also completed his first test for a 1st dan white belt this month, after only being in the program since September. Hopefully Little Gandalf will join the "hoo-ha" ranks in the new year.

The young wizard has been busy creating characters and making his new magical hat to fight foes from far and wide....super hero complex..nahhh!

Little Gandalf sewing his wizard hat...

and brandishing a new weapon..

The Admiral's arrival with Fair Mac Annie and Dr John will inspire some great cooking and some amusing pics over the holidays methinks...I may even attempt a little yorkshire pudding on Christmas Eve. Whatdya mean latkes don't go with honeybaked ham?

Happy Chanukah, Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year to all.
