the goose is getting fat, Please to put a penny in the old man's hat!
I did some Christmas shopping today and I saw my first bell ringer. Nic was with me at Hobby Lobby and he noted what hard work it must be ringing that bell non-stop. I agreed and he asked how I knew it was hard work. I told him that I did not know first hand, I have never rung the bell, but I know that Grandpa has done it for many years and it is hard work. To reward this man with the red kettle for doing his part we did our part. Our first dollar of the season into the red pot!
We had a good day of progress on the Alamo project. The salt dough worked well and we will hopefully assemble to mission tomorrow. Nic needs to work a bit more on the background but we made good progress. After our work on the diorama we headed to Ames to take care of some stuff. We bought the needed light bulb, the boys all got haircuts, we had dinner and I bought some supplies for the Christmas cards. I started the assembly line tonight and I am pretty pleased with the progress.
Well, it is getting pretty late and the boys are still awake so I need to shuffle them off to bed. Will asked to stay up all night tonight but I just don't think tonight is the night. Sleep tight!
