Holidays and head colds

We're back from a very nice visit with family. I'll share more about that later, but for now, I want to wish The Engineer a very happy 41st birthday! I love and appreciate my guy!

And now...I came home with a head cold, so I think I'll rest my brain and my body most of the day today. At least until some medicine kicks in and hopefully restores my energy!

Vacation and a video

We are headed out today to visit family, so I probably won't be on the computer much through December 27. But by way of farewell, here's a little video of Chickie and Zoodle singing. Enjoy!

Cindy Loo Who would be happy

I like the Kohl's Cares for Kids program--they offer books and toys for $5 each, and the net profits benefit children's charities.

Right now, several Dr. Seuss books with matching toys are being sold. We bought How the Grinch Stole Christmas and the Grinch stuffed animal, for a total of $10. I generally don't ever buy stuffed animals (since they quickly seem to multiply and take over the house!) But this one was so cute; I expect we'll keep him around a long time! (I suspect this may be the Grinch after his heart grew three sizes.... He looks way too nice to be the mean Grinch!)



Dr. Seuss books remain popular and tend to remain pricey too, so I was thrilled to get this one for $5! I know There's a Wocket in My Pocket was also available, and at least one other that I wasn't familiar with. They all have matching stuffed animals too.
