If I may brag a little.....

I have a couple of personal things I'd like to share just because I'm so darned proud of my boys.  First, my husband has an article in the paper today about his business and it's very exciting.  He and his business partner have been, and continue, working hard at making this venture successful.  So....kudos to him for this great step forward and I think **not sure** that USA Today picked up this article from our local Post and Courier!

Now....I also want to share this video of the St. David's Men's Choir from St. Philips Church.  My oldest, "R", is 13 and a member of these great voices.  Talk about chills and tears during the service this past Sunday! (okay.....I've got some figuring out to do.....I think my video was too long....up later)

Don't forget to enter the drawing for the WOOHOO GIVEAWAY!  Oh....and....here's a great write up about my friend (THE ORGANIZER/INTERIOR DESIGNER Extraordinaire!) Alix Bragg

WOOHOO Giveaway! BLUE CHICKADEE

ANOTHER Charleston local Woohoo Giveaway......just leave a comment below to be eligible!

I always knew this sweet girl was talented.....I met her years ago as she was one of my children's preschool teachers.  Love her, her name, her painting and her business's name.   She left school when she had "R".....and was soon itching to do something with her creativity.  Well how about a little "BLUE CHICKADEE"?  Original, hand-painted art work for the little ones.  How cute would some of this artwork be to add a simple pop of color in a child's room?

This WOOHOO Giveaway is a $50 gift certificate.....and to speed things along due to the upcoming holiday - I'm going to draw for the winner on SUNDAY, December 19....Email Way Way directly for pricing and purchasing at waywayallen@gmail.com

More Neighborhood Fun!!

I love these guys too....  My neighborhood is FILLED with great people.  If the weather is right...we have an unspoken afternoon meeting in the yards.  The children run from yard to yard playing with various community toys...while the parents let out the day's stress laughing and libating.  "D" is always busy as a bee on our 'jumpaline' and "T" is usually chillin'...happy as a clam.

I look forward to Christmas morning......the excitement is growing around here as everyone gets a little older!

Those eyes....






A special THANKS to Tara Guerard for her shout out to me on her Bon Bon Blog.....I always enjoy shooting her cute, little boys.  Her books, by the way, make great Christmas gifts!

Neighborhood Fun

I love these guys.  I get to see them everyday....and there's not a day that they don't make me smile.  Happy, go lucky....life is good people.  Merry Merry.




"J"...you already think girls are icky?



Somebody just got her cast off....and was a little apprehensive about playing.





Uh..."J"...I think you're supposed to tell others to 'kiss my foot'!

Chilly Chilly!

How much fun can you have marching around the playground with these two on a chilly afternoon?  Let's just say that I left my play date in a better mood!  It was cold....so it was quick.....but I got lots of smiles and laughs.  Tara, thanks for calling me again this year...I look forward to hearing another 'KNOCK KNOCK' joke from "A" sometime.  He kept me giggling.......

Mud, Barefoot, Wrestling and a little Ballet

Our day was started by a busted location.  I pulled in to our planned destination only to be asked for 50 smacks to cross the threshold for a private event......dust swirled as I turned around and we decided on a new location.  Perfect.  Hopefully the stress was worth it.....I had a great time with "C", "H" and "JB"....

Yes, Mama, no worries - we got some 'card worthy' ones......but these are some of my favorites.  There are so many things in these that make me chuckle.  To start, Daddy says, "Everybody give me a push up!"....and without hesitation....











Uh oh "H"...Um...put your hands...out?



Testosterone was a'flowin....


Go 'head girl....have a coffee....1/3 your size...





What do you think...a KEDS commercial?


Uh..."C".....xyz....pdq?  Love it.


A little plie´ ....with a tackle in the background.
