Gingerbread house....train




The first gingerbread anything I ever remember making and as you can see I was more serious about it than my little elf helper. Ella on the other hand only ate the house toppings so she had to get fired from elf school and was not too pleased about that. We had a lot of fun making it....a little hard, I couldn't get everything to stand straight and that drove me crazy but other than that...it tasted good. As soon as we were done and I put it in the kitchen, elf 1 and elf 2 were eating it. I guess that how it works!

Christmas Cookies





As you can see Ella and Kesha are great "helper" in the cookie making department. I can't say the same for the little boy who feel asleep the whole time this task took place. In the end, they were the hit of any party...homemade Girl scout mint cookies. YUMMY!

Take a step back in time



I know, I know, this is from 3 months ago...so be prepared to get caught up with the Springers. My darling husband finally took all the pictures off of our 2 cameras before he left for Utah, I wish I would have learned how to do it...but one step at a time...right?

Hee-haw

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.

Virus Warning

Heads-up guys...mom or April may have already heard about this one at work. Sounds like a particulary nasty one. I'll add links to the story on CNN as well as the link to Microsoft to find the appropriate 'patch' for your PC.

-To find out which version of Windows you have, click START, then RUN, and type WINVER...it should pop up. Pay close attention, each one requires a slightly different patch.

Ask me if you have any questions. Better safe than sorry..viruses SUCK!!

Snowing in Seoul...
