Christmas house!

Woo! I'm behind on pictures I'm sure. But when it's finished I'll have them all. For right now we are working on upstairs walls-excitement!

Pluto!!

Someone got into our candy!! Oh my! The evidence is clear!

Extra helpers

Pluto to has really take care of our decorating this year! He grabbed ECVs latest art and a few elves to improve our tree.

Pickle time

The girls love hiding the pickle on the tree. Pluto stole it and they've been looking for two days.

Night 17

Pluto decided we needed a little snow to get into the spirit. Clever fellow!

Night 16

Pluto misses his girls. He brought them ornaments home.

Who Knew? Night 15

Who knew Pluto was a child of the 80s?! He's ready for bath time with all his toys!

Night 14

Pluto is right-we don't have a tree up! Nowhere to put presents or hang stockings for Santa! Glad he got us started!

Night 13

Pluto was one hungry elf...he's like the girls in that eating is his favorite.

Night 12

 Uh oh. Someone got comfortable playing on the Gran's side and he didn't make it back tonight before the door shut. Whoops!

Night 11

Pluto-the sentimental type.

Night 10

Oh Pluto! I think I overheard SKV encourage him this morning.

Night 9

Pluto could wait no longer for his yearly panty raid. Thankfully he waited for a night when the squeals of the girls in the morning wouldn't devastate Gran Mary and Papa.

Night 8

Someone wanted to be part of the Disney on Ice experience. And wait...is he in business with Kevin Venable!!?

floor trusses

Is that starting to look like something...a floor maybe?! Whoo!

Night 7

Just to clarify who Pluto pulls for...and Santa. :)

Night 6

#nailedit If you saw the picture of Sidney Kate's hair and the helicopter...you'll understand where this comes from. She and Kevin are going to spend hours trying to  be as good as Pluto!

CONCRETE!

I mean it when I say..."Every-part-of-this-is-fun!"

Every time something new happens I get so 'cited! I've yet to experience the house building stress-maybe Colt feels it, but Kevin and I are just fine. :)

Night 5

Do you want to build a snowman?!

Night 3

Pool with friends. Happy December 1 tomorrow!

Night 3

Little breakfast and Hey Jessie!

Night 2

First night back at Gran Mary and Papas. We woke up and he was reading a golf magazine. Silly Pluto. He's only warming up!

He's BACK! Night 1

Since we spent Thanskgiving night away from our temporary home the girls were worried that Pluto would have a really hard time finding us. Well-Kevin and I woke up to him looking over us. Creepy much!? The girls loves it!

Oh rain and freezing temperatures

We really need you to take a break. :)

Charleston

I have had a conference in Charleston this week and Kevin was allowed to join me and work from the hotel (yah for my online sock salesman)! We have walked over this city-it's fabulous!

A first trip for both of us and we enjoyed food at Magnolias, Hymans, Caviar and Bananas, Mellow Mushroom (I know we can get that at home), The Bean Company, and anywhere they were yelling free samples at us. My goodness this town knows how to cook!

We also did plenty of walking and shopping, did a historical jail tour, and carriage ride. Highly recommend a trip here for everyone. On our last day we strolled through the Citadel.

Till next time!

Brave girls

We are heading home from Charleston and Gran Mary and Papa sent us these pics. ECV wanted to tell Santa what she wanted. Drums for both apparently. We have been in touch with Santa on this...

Sweet friends

Some sweet kiddos. Embree Claire has a great group of kids to grow up with.

First official braid

Yesterday Embree Claire told me she wanted a braid. I told her she would have to tell me earlier so I could accommodate her request. :)
This morning she walked in and told me in plenty of time. When she wants something she'll stand still for it.

More block!

The garage has been blocked! We-are-moving!

Rolling along

Things are going right along. Next are garage footers and outing the basement. I believe we will see wood next week!

And play

Well, while we are here...
