The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

While the crazies were shopping today, Black Friday, I decided to get out the Christmas decorations. I absolutely love decorating for Christmas. I have two trees in my attic, but I only have the room for one. When I got my own place in college my grandmother gave me a pencil tree she used for twenty plus years in her old home. It's still a beautiful tree (it needs a new stable base), I bought a bigger one a couple of years ago. So now I have two trees.

Anyways... As I was decorating this year I kept thinking about this being the last year I decorate this house. I'm looking forward to having the room to put up multiple trees in my new house and even putting up one on the porch outside. Over the years I have collected tons of ornaments that I do not use anymore and want to use. When I first tree decorating years I decorated with snowmen and have enough snowmen ornaments for a snowman tree. Then I used purple ornaments for several years so I can have a purple tree too. Right now I am using red ornaments, along with my shoe ornament collection and all my special ornaments.

Yes I have a slight obsession with shoe ornaments too!
Here's my small collection. 


Last year my mom made me a wreathe with all kinds of fabulous shoes on it.


So here's the finished product.

Football Merchandise

It's football season and Walmart has all their Razorback merchandise out. I was browsing the aisle the other day and saw these. I immediately thought whiskey! A great way to sneak liquor into the stadium. Of course the back says intended for water only. Yeah right! No one looks at this and says water.

And a Roof

They finished the roof up today! Back of the house. Front of the house. They use these to hold the plywood together.

Pool Time!

We spent the weekend at our friends' pool. We took the dogs with us Sunday so they could have a play date. M and B have to pit bulls that are so sweet. Nahla, the youngest one, loves to play! They were also puppy sitting the cutest beagle ever!  They absolutely love going places! They were waiting in the car while I was loading our things.  I've never been able to get Hatfield in the pool, but Lilly loves it. She started off just sitting on the steps and one day she just jumped in. So, now she jumps in every now and then to cool off. Kev mixed up refreshing peach mojitos (I guess I've had major peach craving lately) this weekend. I'd share the recipe but that's his job. I never really know what all goes into what I'm drinking. I just know it's delicious!
