Happy Wordless/Wordful Wednesday!!

**Playing another round of Uno with my son....**
I am off on a vacation day today! I took Monday and Wednesday off this week ( and we are closed Friday) so I get to spend a few days with my ever so darling munchkins. Yea... its been F.U.N. (not)
They are whiny, bored and lazy.
They are kids. And we just spent umteen hundreds of dollars on Christmas BUT alas.... they dont understand the concept of money ....
Monday we shopped. With our gift cards. All of them ( except for teen.. who wants to be dropped off at the mall today for "alone time" with a friend to browse and shop in peace... who wouldnt want that?) and so today brings... little money, more bored whining and who knows what else.
A trip to the grocery store( oh joy) for things for New Years Eve dinner ( I make chinese food)

Here's to your Wednesday... may it be a joyful as mine is...

Its pathetic to say that I just took these shots this morning... I am a slacker, what can I say.

My Nana made these... one each to represent my babies...

My Holiday Garland that I drape over the banister... this has held up for 3 years now.. might have to get some new stuff next year....

Happy Holidays!!!

I ♥ Faces ~ Animals

This week over at I ♥ Faces the challenge is PETS ( or animals)

I have posted both my dogs before... this week... something different.
Saturday we went to the Ecotarium in Worcester and went on a train for a rendition of the Polar Express... this was called The Polar Bear Express.
We got to listen to the story The Polar Express... then went on a train ride up to see Kenda, the oldest living Polar Bear in captivity. We then took the train back to the building where we had hot chocolate & cookies. It was so fun! ( but cold!)
