Fragmented Freewrite #24

It's a new year.

It's really cold in Georgia.

And, Sam just turned 6 years old!

**********

Sam had a great 6th birthday and his "real" party is still to come. He and his friends will celebrate with Chuck E. on Sunday afternoon.


We also made confetti cookies to share with his Kindergarten class on Wednesday. They were a hit...




**********


In other Sam news...

He was sent to his room at one point on Monday and while he was thinking about his mistake (ha ha ha), he came up with this little diddy:

"Sam. Sam. I'm the man.
Sam. Sam. I love ham."


It struck me as funny because
1.) he is not the man in this home, and 2.) he hates pretty-much all pork products


**********


We got a little snow yesterday. And, in honor of the pretty powder, we made these little snowman snacks, which the boys really enjoyed.



**********


I am finally taking down my Christmas decor. I've been putting it off, not only because it's a pretty big job, but because I just love it all so much. I will really miss the soft glow of colored lights early in the morning.


Mommy's Idea


Stay warm this weekend!

Happy B'day Sam! Chuck E. Cheese is the best.. after the chaos is over you can actually sit down and order a glass of wine!

Those snowman snacks are SO cute! We were so hoping for snow last night...but all we got was cold and a little rain!

I know what you mean about the decorations.... my house always feels so bare after de-Christmasing. Happy birthday SAM!

That little ditty is adorable as is the snowman! It takes some getting used to with the barren look after Christmas!

I love the clean look after the holidays! Guess I'm in the minority.

Happy FF

Are those the actual cookies? Why don't my cookies ever look that tasty? Even the ones I don't burn (which, let's be honest, aren't many) look like little nuggets of hard, dry dough!

Happy Birthday to Sam!! :) Good luck with the whole Chuck E. Cheese experience - we did that last year for Princess Nagger's 6th birthday - too funny! ;) His little Sam ditty is cute!!

Those cookies and the snowman snack look YUMMY! Now I'm hungry...

Have fun taking down the Christmas decorations - I'll be working on that this weekend, too. It is a job, and I, too, will miss the soft glow of the lights! :)

Have a great weekend!

It's really cold here in SC as well! We didn't get any snow...but neighbors in the next county over did! The snowmen are so cute!!! Six year olds can be very, very silly...but that's the funny stuff we're going to look back and laugh our heads off over...the stuff that memories are made of! ;-)
