Currently

A little sneak peak from our Christmas photo shoot with Sara Logan Photography.  She is amazinggggg.  And so are these little boys of mine.

Today I'm joining Kristen's Blogathon challenge with the "Currently" prompt.  So....I am

Currently.....

Reading:  Jim Gaffigan's, Food.  I loved Dad is Fat, and this one, though not quite as hilarious as Dad is Fat, is still really funny.  (My favorite chapter so far is the one about seafood. Hah!)

DIYing:  A sample ornament for the Christmas ornament workshop I'm hosting at West Elm this Thursday.  I hope you and your kids can come out and join me!  More information here.  

Annoyed with:  Toys!!!  My boys like to dump out every toy box, everyday, and then it takes them a million years to clean everything up.  They actually do play with them a lot, but it was getting to a point where that's all we were doing.  Cleaning up toys.  So today, I was DONE, and decided that all the toys get locked up except for one box.  They can choose the toys they want to play with for the week, put it in that one box, and that's it.  No more.  Next week we'll switch them out.  Hopefully it'll work, and I can actually do other things besides cleaning toys and getting them to clean toys (like...oh you know...laundry...and literally anything else besides cleaning toys.)

Eating:  This wrap.  Yummmmmm.  It's actually really easy to make, and is such a nice change from my daily lunch turkey sandwich.

Craving:  Dove chocolate.  I was craving it this weekend, too, so I got a bag and put it up in a kitchen cabinet.  I came downstairs Sunday morning, and most of the wrappers were on the counter, empty.  Walker boy had helped himself to a little "breakfast".  I couldn't be too upset with him, though....I would've done the same thing if I had found a secret stash of Dove chocolate.

Loving:  This quote.  The key to being happy.  It's so true.

I don't know how I always forget about Dove chocolate...SO good!That wrap does look good, but I'm not sure I'm ready to give up my daily turkey sandwich :)

LOVE that picture!! The toy idea is brilliant. I will be filing that away for future use. I may be crazy but toy mess and clutter when Ellie is older is a true nightmare! ;)

O man, the toys! I am about to purge my playroom here before Xmas, because I can think of is that we are going to get MORE TOYS, and I can't handle it.

Jim Gaffigan gets me every time. His stand up is the best and I love that he's not vulgar.

Look at you getting all strategic with the toys :)

I'm so over toys myself. I feel like they're taking over almost every room of our apartment. I've definitely let family know that we do NOT want any toys for the kids for Christmas.
