Day with Mud

Out on quick and very necessary run to the store for milk yesterday, I made the split decision to race over to our favorite thrift store to find a replacement hot chocolate mug for Simon. We were gearing up for a peppermint ice cream, popcorn, hot chocolate, movie afternoon and while the milk and candy canes I was racing out to get before pick up time with only 30 min to run into and out of Costco were critical it seemed as though perhaps the mug was more important. I'm sure you understand.

The store was obviously sending me signals.

I got these wonderful paper ornaments

Nine of them!

They are much more amazing in person.

These deer that will hopefully be painted and glittered later today!

I've always wanted one of these it really does keep your coffee/tea hot.

This is a treat from my childhood

I think I can do this elf on the shelf.

He'll need new paint though

I don't know why I like a teeny garden gnome

I just do.

So no I didn't make to the store until after pick up which meant that it took twice as long and I forget half the things.

But I did have a lovely diversion which ended with a

sweet new Christmas mug for my youngest

and a bowl full of cheer for me.
