Drop the {hot glue} gun and step away from the treats

Gratuitous Audrey & Miles picture.

Here we have naptime, Miles style. In mommy & daddy's bed, with brown bears and his dogs. I actually started out in there too, but didn't last very long. If he weren't asleep, there is no way Chelsea (on the right) would be on that bed. He thinks it's all a big game to chase her around the house and make her jump up from wherever she is. He has lots of fun nick names for her. Some he picked up from us - Chelsea-wellsea, Miss "C" - but he's added several of his own pop culture references too. He calls her The Big Bad Wolf, Swiper the Fox & Bad Dog Chelsea. She has earned her "bad dog" name lately, eating raw "G" cookies off the counter, climbing onto the breakfast nook bench to clean an abandoned plate, even knocking the table over in her quest for crumbs. Sneaky dog.

Take note of Miles's artful arrangement of the Little People Nativity on our headboard. And the USA map behind my nightstand? That was removed from his wall because he "doesn't like California." Not sure where that one came from!

I actually finished my crafty project from last week! Well, almost, I need to come up with a jazzy Dec 25th marker, but I have a month to do that. It's a cookie sheet with magnets to mark the days until Christmas. I had never done any paper scrapping before, so I had lots of fun with the paper & stickers, using the hot glue gun and my new fave, Mod Podge!! Miles saw me working on this and is all set for playing with the pieces once we decorate.
