HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 2009 IS HERE!!



This New Year's morning is pretty relaxed at our house. Erik and I are both still in our PJ's with no rush to get ready. Erik was so blessed with MANY wonderful toys for Christmas this year (a post with Christmas pictures and videos is coming soon) but this morning he found a new toy that has captured his interest much more than the wonder of Fisher Price.






Awhile ago I made my own make-shift duster to get some cobwebs down from the corners of our apartment. I used an extra 'diming stick' (if that what it's called) you use it to open your blinds ya know. And I put an old rag on the end using a rubberband. Patent pending I know, ingenious craftmanship like this. :) Here are a few shots of Erik playing with this 'duster' He played with this for about 10-15min!!! I couldn't believe it, he just cracks me up so much sometimes!!








Here are some of his great toys he's neglecting while the Duster is getting Erik's full attention.

Hmm. Looks like Erik is ready to jon Gene's cleaning business. Erik's pretty handy with the floor action.

Yeah, isn't that the way it goes? When we took Liesl to Claire's to get her ears pierced, we let her pick something out to make up for the pain. Out of all the girly, pretty things, what did she pick out? A notepad set. At least it had the Disney princesses on it, and I'm pretty sure she thought it had some stickers with it because she kept asking about stickers after we opened it. Oh well. Still, a notepad?

I think New Years is the most overrated holiday. At least it gives us a day off, right?

I think dimmer stick is an ingenious label, and you do need to patent that little invention. Perhaps it could be just a dimmer stick attachment. Maybe you could expand that into an entire line of different types of dimmer stick attachments! You've got a business idea right there!

The box is always played with more then the toy that came in the box. Such a funny kid - love the new photos too.
