How have y'all been? We've been sick here at the Hawk household. One by one, we each came down with the 'dreaded virus'. It started with Bailey, then it was my turn, then Caitie's, now it's their daddy's turn. We're hoping he'll be over it, or at least feeling better, by Christmas. There's never a good time to get sick, but this week was one of the worst times for Caitie to be sick due to having a big Social Studies project that was due. She and her daddy worked really hard on an Egyptian pyramid artifact to be put on display at school this last Wednesday. Caitie had to also write an essay for it, and a note card with bullet points for her speech when presenting it. Well, she came down with the virus on Monday, the day the project was due. She missed school on Monday and Tuesday. I made sure to send pics of the project to her teacher to prove the project was done on time. She was able to go back to school on Wednesday in time for the presentation. She got an A on the project. Yay for Caitie (and her daddy for helping make the artifact), they did a great job! I took pics and plan to share them here someday. Like you really believe that one, right? No, really, I do plan to put them on the blog, it might be the year 2024 though. Something to look forward to, right? Anyhoo, moving on to the Christmas shopping and bein' silly post...
We were on a Walmart and Target run a while back and I just happened to snap a few pics with my smartphone and decided to post theme here.
Caitie posing with a few sloths and a horse on a Christmas aisle at Walmart.
Bailey posing like a reindeer in the Christmas area at Walmart. See her antlers? They kinda blend with the background.
It's the return of the "Two Old Ladies at Walmart". See a short video clip below.
Checking out the "North Pole Express" mailbox... remembering they never sent wish lists to the North Pole. Ah well, there's always next year.
We also shopped at Target. This is the big red ball outside of the Target store; the girls were excited to sit on Rudolph's huge nose.
Bailey took the wheel after we stopped at Little Caesar's to pick up a pizza...
while Caitie played a video game on her tablet.
We were so hungry I didn't get a chance to get a pic of the whole pizza; once the pizza hit the counter, six hands were inside it to grab a piece of pizza... I then grabbed one right before snapping this pic... pizza in mouth, and greasy hands on camera. Yum...
Later on the girls made a hamster video, which you can watch below.
Here is the star of that video... Sandy.
And even later that night, we watched the "Christmas With the Kranks" movie. It's one of our favorite Christmas movies.
Here is "The Two Old Ladies Christmas Shopping at Walmart" video (remember the first "Two Old Ladies at Walmart" video last summer? they are back). It's not very long, we had to cut it short since a shopper decided to come down the aisle while we were videoing. Here is the short video clip. Just click on the ol' 'play' button below to watch the video.
Here is the Hamster Video I mentioned above. It's a silly video... not easy to tell what Caitie is saying... we're cracking up... none of it really makes sense kind of video... the usual. Please excuse the messy floor... I have no excuse for it, just please excuse it... or somethin' like that. Click the ol' 'play' button below to view the silly video.
