Macro Monday is Back!

After a LONG holiday break, Macro Monday is back. I'll remind everyone of the rules just in case you forgot:
1. You have unlimited guesses
2. The guesses must be posted on the blog, not on Facebook
3. First to guess correctly wins

So, here we go...

The PRIZE:
You are playing for heart shaped ice trays/jello molds. If you live far I promise I will try and mail them Tuesday so you will get them before Valentine's Day:)



And the winner is...KAREN!! You'll be so proud of me, I mailed out your prize today!!

A visit to the zoo...

and a ride on a train.


We saw small feet and BIG feet. This is a real elephant foot. It was quite exciting to touch and see up close. A little elephant fact: Elephant tusks and feet are hollow.

Jack was very intrigued by the elephant foot. Here he is listening to the zoo keeper give us all the info about the huge elephant foot.

And what trip to the zoo would be complete without a train ride.

The Prize:


I love this week's prize. Brad and I have been on an Arrested Development kick this week, hence this week's prize. You are playing for a Never Nude T-shirt (Size Large). If you haven't seen Arrested Development, please contact me ASAP so you can borrow it. Good luck guessing!

Way to go Carol! You got it exactly right! I just ordered the shirt Sunday, so it should be in sometime this week.

Lukewarm Chocolate

We bought our Christmas tree tonight. We thought we better go tonight while it's still cold, it's just more fun that way. We thought it would be fun to stop on the way and get hot chocolate for the kids. Well, when you buy a kids hot chocolate from Starbucks, they apparently are too afraid to actually make it hot; so what you really get is lukewarm chocolate. I guess I shouldn't complain, they're just trying not to burn my babies. Jack and Tilly loved it anyway, it just didn't keep them very warm.

Uploading Surprise and Xmas PJs pt.2

I take 99% of the pictures in this household so when I was uploading photos from my camera I was pleasantly surprised to find a few shots Brad took of he and Tilly.




This was the only shot of the series that wasn't out of focus and had most of both of them in it.

The PRIZE:

We went to IKEA, yet again, and you're reaping all the benefits. This week you are playing for a super fun cutting board. Remember, you can guess as many times as you'd like. Good Luck!!
