Angels, Cookies, and Mermaids... oh my...

This week has been full of lots of things. First is the angels. I decided to do an angel project for with the kids this coming Sunday, so I have been trying to find a cute angel project. Well after finding it now I am trying to get all the prep work done for the angel. That means lost of printing and cutting of paper and paperplates. Allison is doing to decorate one as a test, I will have to take a picture of it and post it. I can't take the credit for the design. I actually took two examples and put them together to come up with what we are going. We shall see how it goes on Sunday.
On to the cookies. I have been making cookies and cookies and more cookies. I even did sugar cookies with the girls last night. They had so much fun! I rolled them out and then let them 'roll' them out some more. They picked the cutter and press the cutter and decorated them. They both even tasted their cookies after the cooled.
Last... Mermaids. Elizabeth has fallen in LOVE with The Little Mermaid. We let them rent it this weekend and since Friday night we have probably played it 6 times. Granted she doesn't watch all of it but she loves having it on while she is playing. The sweetest thing is when Ursala comes on she comes flying out of the room, "MOMMY MOMMY, fast forward Mommy, she scares me." She tries to say Ursala but it comes out something completely different. I would try to spell out what she says but I wouldn't do it justice. So we will have to see if Santa can bring her The Little Mermaid.
Another interesting thing that happened this week, well today was that we had a small Earthquake here in our lovely town of Summerville. If you are not from the area you may not know that there is a fault line in Summerville. Very few people know South Carolina is one of the most active earthquake-producing regions in North America. The last big earthquake they had in the Charleston area was in 1886. The earthquake was small in size. It was a 3.6. Jim said it felt like someone hit the house. I was in the car on the way to work so I didn't really realize what was going on, but there is a lot of people talking about it around here. No damage, just some cracked pavement.

9 more days until Christmas!!! The girls are getting super Excited!!! 5 more days until Allison play at Church, I am getting Super Excited to see her!!!
