Chapstick Factory

 

Livie's class is making Chapstick and selling it for a fundraiser!! 
The ingredients are Bees Wax, Soy Oil, and Tangerine Oil... it's actually yummy, and they have done a Great Job making it.
 

 

They put empty tubes into a holding board,


heat and mix the ingredients,



pour into containers, wait for them to cool, place the lids on,


 

clean and label.
 

 Over

 

and over
 

again!  :)

They make GREAT stocking stuffers and conversation pieces.  How many kindergarten classes do you know making their own chapstick??!!
1 Tube = $2.00

Town Tree Decorating

Ollie, our Elf on the Shelf, was low today so the girls thought they should take a picture with him.  Livie continually reminding Claire, "not to touch!"
 

Later, we all went to Livie's school to help decorate the town tree!
Livie was VERY excited that her Daddy was helping put the ornaments on.
 

He did a GREAT job considering he is terrified of children. :)
 

Class Picture Time
 

Livie and one of her best friends Annabell!!
 

Then we sang Christmas Carols holding hands around the tree. 
 

 

 

Finally, hot chocolate in the gym.  Very Cute.
 

Claire got to play on the playground with Livie's Class.
 

 

She loved it and
 

 

fit right in.
 

Dead Deer

Sorry, I know this is kind of yucky, but Daddy got a deer!  The girls were again very excited!
It's not the ONE he wanted and had seen on his cameras, but it is BIG!
 

He's explaining the process to the girls...
 

Claire said she could get a bigger one. :)  And let's face it this girl probably will!!

Strawberry Santas

Okay, I'm sure you've seen these lately on Pinterest and I'm here to tell you THEY WORK and I think are very cute!!
You only need strawberries, whip cream, and something to dot on eyes.
 

Cut the top, stem, off evenly.  This will be the bottom of your Santa.
 

Then cut the bottom off.
Put whip cream on the bottom and put the "hat" back on.
 

Put a dot of whip cream on the top of the hat and dot the eyes.  We used icing simply because it is what we had.
 

Ta-Da
 

Look out, I used my Pampered Chef Easy Accent Decorator, which I love and use for all of our decorative cooking.  :)
 

It looks like this in a normal picture.
 

Strawberry Santas are ready for Preschool!

 

Ho Ho Ho

K-State beats OSU

So, we went to the KSU OSU ballgame with my sister.  We were definitely hoping my parents would be able to come as well, maybe next year!!  Both my mom and sister went to Oklahoma State, so half of us wear purple and the other half wear orange... And Claire cheers for whichever team is winning at the time! :)

The girls LOVED cheering!
 

Dressed in Purple but shooting her pistols?!
 

The girls are roaring like Wildcats... Awesome
 

 

The game was televised.  This was before the Baylor game... very sad.
 

Jed got the girls cotton candy.
 

I think STICKY was the theme of the trip.
 

We had a great time, and the girls did great considering it was a 7:00 game!
 

It was a GREAT game.  K-State won!!  Then it was back to the rv.  Yes, Yes I know... I was NEVER going to do it again.  Well, I'm pretty sure after this weekend my husband got the point.

But just in case, TOP 8 REASONS why WE should never stay in an RV:

1.  It takes forever to get anywhere driving 50
2.  We spend as much on gas as we would on a hotel
3.  Creepy people ALL AROUND you... no offense, but everyone is creepy in the dark when you can't see and don't know them...
4.  If you stay in a hotel a MAID does the sheets... NOT YOUR WIFE!!
5.  You can swim in a hotel.
6.  Most hotels have a complimentary breakfast.
7.  If you stay in a hotel a MAID sweeps the floor.
8.  AND FINALLY, it would be really bad if I shot someone and had to go to jail!!
 

Did I mention STICKY was the theme of this trip?
 

My favorite... CHECK OUT LIVIE'S LEAF!  It's REAL!
 

All in all it was a good weekend.  The girls did great at the ballgame, K-State Won, and it was GREAT to spend time with my sister.
