This cuts a hot-dog into bite size pieces. Add ketchup in the dog food dish and voila! Fun snack for the little ones. J

Found it for only $5 at Walmart.

Saw this cute Daschund puppy picture and I had to do something with it. Made it even longer! J

Did a quick sketch last night after browsing the art book.

Time to paint some punkins! 
(That's how Sienna used to say pumpkin. ♥ )

[getting ready for Christmas]

Each year I plan to be done with Christmas shopping early so that I can just enjoy December with my family.

This year I finally figured out how to do it: online shopping!

Today I ordered some Bento for decorating Sienna’s lunches. I don’t want to buy just toys so I’m trying to be creative with the gifts.

Hey, maybe she’ll even want to make her own lunches! J

Please share if you have great ideas for Christmas gifts or have a favorite online shop.

I'll be collecting Bento & other cute lunch ideas here. 

Join the cuteness! J

New hobby for 2009 perhaps? :D

***

Yesterday:

Mommy: "I can't go tobogganing because I'm sick."

Sienna: "You should drink some pop." (she remembered how we drank Ginger Ale pop to help the stomach flu)

Mommy: "Ginger Ale pop helps tummies but this time mommy's nose is sick."

Sienna: "I can put some of this on your nose so snot won't come out."

(she had her lipbalm in her hand, when her nose was dry from wiping it and we had put lipbalm once on her nose to help moisturize it)***

Our New Year's Eve plans? Good food and a movie at home. If we'll stay up until midnight, we'll watch the fireworks from our bedroom window.

Tomorrow is pizza making party at Jay's parents. They make awesome pizza. Jay's mom's family comes from Italy and making good pizza is important. Looking forward to the yumminess. :P

Yesterday we ended up going to a movie. We saw Valkyrie (Tom Cruise). It was like watching Titanic (which I didn't like watching at all, at least I liked this story better) because you know the movie has a sad ending. It was great to remember though that not all Germans were on Hitler's side. As usual, things aren't black and white.

Happy New Year everyone!

Hope 2009 will be a magical year in some special way for all of you.
