The kids and I spent the day together yesterday doing a variety of activities.  We started out at Home Depot to do their Kids Workshop craft with was a really cool photo frame.

Joey actually had a neat Christmas themed red, white, and green paint job, but I missed that picture:-(

After looking at some of their Christmas inflatables and decorations, I noticed some very pretty and unique orchids.  Have you ever seen a blue orchid before?  Surely it's some sort of new or dyed variety but appealing to me none-the-less.  I didn't get any tack sharp shots because of the low and fluorescent light, but I enjoyed them anyway.

I really enjoyed these other two shots taken at Home Depot too.  If you notice, Madi's legs are way too long to get in the car shopping cart.  Madi was hoping to get the Naughty and Nice cat stockings for her new cats Evan and Andrew.

The kids enjoyed going to the library and reading to Ruby and Casey  (dogs) too.  3 kids and 31 books later, we were on to our next stop!  Each of the kids read at least twice to both dogs.

Elf season will soon be upon us.  Some of you will remember from last year that we celebrate The Elf on the Shelf tradition times about 10 at our house.  Joey was so excited to see the Chick-fil-A cow in an elf hat.

We ended out our day by going to see Puss In Boots in 3D.  The kids and I thoroughly enjoyed it and were quite interested in seeing The Lorax coming out March 2012 after viewing the trailer.

Another busy day on tap today as we squeeze in hair cuts for the boys and a trip to the Durham Museum of Life and Science to see their new holiday train room The Wonderland Express.
