It's Beginning to look a lot like CHRISTMAS

Wahoooooo

The weather guys have been saying that we're going to get some snow, and up until today, it's only been a coating. Today that changed, the Lake Effect Snow Machine cranked up and dumped about a half a foot of snow over the area. It was blowing so had out of the east, that our front window was covered.


Dad went out and fired up the snow blower, and it started right up. He cleared the driveway, and then about an hour later, you couldn't tell he even did it.

Santa's Workshop

Again this year we headed out to build a toy with Santa at his Ohio workshop. From what we understand, Santa moves his workshop around quite a bit to make sure he gets maximum exposure with all of the children of the world. I'm kind of glad that he picks Ohio for the month of December, I guess it's because it feels like the North Pole in this area during December.
This year, we got to help Santa mab Wooden Helicopters, then Mrs Claus put our name on those.

Here are the pictures that dad took.

Smokin'

Both Jacob and I have been feeling a bit under the weather lately, in fact Mom & dad have been feeling a bit sick too. I came from from School two days this week with a bad cough and my head hurt. Jacob was at school everyday, but he had a bad cough too. Mom made us an appointment with Doc Jinks for Saturday, and he check us out. He said I was doing better, just keep doing the things I have been, lots of sleep, drinking a lot of fluids, laying off the booze (I'm just kidding, don't call child services). After Doc checked out Jacob, he gave my brother a breathing treatment, and then prescribe some medicine for home and loaned us a breathing treatment machine so Jacob could continue on the wellness path.

Three time a day Jacob gets hooked up to the machine and smokes for about ten minutes. Well, it's more like a mist than a smoke, but it's doing what it's supposed to because Jacob's cough is getting better.

Red & Blue

Well, today mommy finished the recovering of the couch in the basement with dad's help.

here's a picture of the finished product.

Also, awhile back, dad bought some tile to put ont he bar, but because of the water damage in the basement, everything in the basement had to come out, down to the bare cinder block walls (if you're a regular reader of our blog you'd know that already)
Dad has started building the new bar, and brought some tile out to choose a pattern. Both mom & dad liked the subway style pattern.
