We're having a nice holed-up kind of post-Christmas week. Mr. Pants is loving his bike and his Legos and Shmoogie will hopefully soon be loving her new antibiotics. :) I'm mostly tip-tapping away at the computer on Version 2.0 of Cross It Off! while Mr. Right juggles the kids. Hoping to have that ready before classes start in a few weeks... I'll keep you posted. :)
In the meantime, I'll be posting a few Christmas handmade items for the sake of the record. Hope you enjoy! (There's a fabulous recipe coming down the pike, don't miss that!)

There was a bit of a squeaky finish getting Shmoogie's doll ready in time for Christmas, but it did get done. It's a good thing there was a deadline or all the little things that didn't turn out the way I'd hoped would have stalled me out on the whole project.

She was very cute opening the box, saying, "Baby!" and picking her up and giving her a hug...

And then started saying, "Poo poo? Poo poo?" and pulling off all of dolly's clothes.

When she finally got the panties pulled down to her satisfaction, she announced, "Yeah, poo poo."
My big idea with this gift was that Shmoogie loves clothes and I figured she'd love taking them on and off a doll. She definitely got the idea. I think doll got undressed (I believe DiDi was helping with the re-dressing) at least three times on Christmas day.
