Pinecones and Happy Birthday Auntie Ann!

I took the two littles on a jog this morning.  I was hoping to find some pinecones along the way to use for a Christmas craft for Grant's Kindergarten class next week.  Well, I lucked out and found around 50 great pinecones!  Now the kids will have a great selection to pick from!

Camille fell asleep in the stroller just before we got home.  I put her in her crib and then set out to bag the pinecones and vacuum out the stroller.  Brett helped me.  He was a great help!  And then he went inside and promptly locked me out of the house!  That stinker!  By the time I realized it, he was on the potty and said he couldn't get off and was yelling.  I pleaded with him and told him he was a big boy and he could get down.  But he wouldn't.  I tried breaking in with a screwdriver.  I even tried to kick the door down.  Didn't work.  :)

Then I went to my neighbor's house and called Keith.  He said he could come home, but he had something to do first.  It would be 30 more minutes at least.  So I went back to the door to yell talk with Brett again.  This time he sounded closer.  He said he was in his room.  Well, if he's off the toilet (that he said he couldn't get down from) then it was time to act.  So I lied and told him that there was a big tractor outside and I could hear his little feet running so fast to unlock the door.  Ha!  Should have thought of the tractor sooner.  :)

Time to hide a key somewhere!

Today is my sister's Birthday!  Happy Birthday Annie!

I love this picture of her with her talented hubby.  These two both have awesome talents and are so fortunate to have each other to share them with.  They do lots of cool things together like: make chocolates (really fancy ones), bottle lots of yummy jams, jelly's, salsa, and other stuff, bake cool things like wedding cakes and pies, craft awesome things like goose feather Christmas trees.  They even have an Etsy shop HERE.  They live in a cute house all the way over in North Carolina with their little girl.  Wish they lived closer!

Happy Birthday Auntie Ann!
