The last Monday of 2008

Here's what the last Monday of the year was like for us...

I guess I should have put slippers on my Christmas wish list this year. I put on a pair of Michael's black socks so I could go outside to make pancakes on the bbq. It was nice out, but the concrete was cold! I didn't match socks very well, one is faded and looks more gray than black, while the other one looks like a new black sock. I haven't a clue as to why his socks fit me; they were actually kind of tight. hmmm... Oh dear, I'm known as the abominable snowman and now bigfoot. Talk about scary...




Good ol' Bisquick pancakes...



Caitie played in her sandbox while I played on the grill.



Holly-Hoo tried to get out several times...



As did Molly-Mae. She's lookin' a little wild-eyed and crazed here... I think she misses the Christmas tree water. Both cats lapped up a lot of the tree water. It must have been tasty.



Here is our tree... waiting for bulk trash pick-up, which is next week. I felt sad seeing it lying on the ground, all dried out. :(



Michael is packing up dino number two to take back to Wal-Mart. Caitie misses it, and so do I. *sniff*



You can see the 'Hawk' side of Caitie in this pic. She looks a lot like her dad, his mother(her grandmother), and his brother(her uncle). Not sure what it is, maybe it's the way her full cheeks and mouth area look in her expression.



Enjoying the pancakes she requested.



Caitie and her dad enjoying a jam session after breakfast.



Later in the day we headed out to some stores to take some things back, one of them being the dinosaur.



We checked out the sale on Christmas decor while at Wal-Mart. On our way over to that department we noticed this tractor sitting out. Caitie decided to take it for a test drive.





We didn't get out of Wal-Mart until dusk. I noticed this beautiful sunset on the way out and decided to get a pic of it.



Our next stop was Target. We stopped to get a snack, which was popcorn, soda, and chocolate milk for Caitie. After we left Target, we headed to Fry's Electronics. Then we were done. We got dinner at Sonic, took it home and watched a movie in bed.
