He liked Utambo – Meaning “prancing” in Swahili, as the baby zebra likes to run and prance when he and his mom, Afiya, head out onto exhibit in the mornings.

Pito Chillin
Totally Friday!! This is a good hanging out and listening to Pandora day!! So here Pito is chillin as he is watching me load up his pictures from the last few missing days.
Even with the chillin going on and all the music listening to, he has already voted for his favorite name for the new zebra born at the same zoo he came from.
They said: Help us name our new baby zebra! http://pzoo.co/

Gum Chains
Have you ever made a gum chain?
Here's what you do...
1. Get a piece of gum, you chew and then flatten out the wrapper.
2. Fold longways in half, then half and then half again.
3. Fold in half short ways and then take left side and fold to middle, take right side and also fold to middle.
4. Then simply take the link you created and add it to the last link and so on... repeating frequently.
Well that might have been the Readers Digest version, so this is what it looks like. What am I going to do with it? I am going to use it as Garland on Pito's blue Christmas tree of course!!

More Christmas
Feeling like Christmas?? Yes and No. =)
We went to the Walmart down the street and saw that they had one of those claw games, we affectionately call the "Grabby game" So we played the grabby game and we got three really neat prizes.
Okay the owl isn't exactly Christmassy but he was in the grabby machine and Pito loved him, his softness, and his colors, he makes a wonderful pillow, he brought it here to work to relax on, what a spoiled little monkey!!

ABC is as easy as 123
I wonder if ABC is as easy as 123??
I have a niece that lives here in Arizona and we are making her an ABC book based on a Pooh book we saw at the store. We carefully cut the pictures out and the comments and then we took and reassembled the book with notes, numbers, shapes and pictures of the family.
So really this book will have more than just ABC's and will become a learning book.
I used pictures of the family for their names to give her a sense of belonging.
I also used a picture of her so that she is a part of this family book. I hope she loves it as she gets older.

Pito Is wrapping - not rapping
Christmas has invaded the house and Pito wants to help. Far be it from me to turn down extra hands.
One thing I am trying to teach Pito is to use wrapping paper that can be
reused if the recipient would like, so we use scrapbook paper for a lot of
things. It is both creative and really great at hiding the gift underneath.
That cheap wrapping paper is sometimes too thin.
But then it has its place too, I like to use it as tissue paper.
So this is the start of a long morning, wrapping, writing down who and what and when and getting that list checked twice so we aren’t leaving anyone out this year.

Grandma's Birthday!!!
Pito is enjoying a cupcake from Grandma's birthday =)
Happy 93rd year of your birthday Grandma, you are my best friend, my partner in crime, the love of my life. I love you more than you will ever know. Thank you for always being a part of my life and thank you for being an example to me that few others will ever see. I am so blessed.
"I want nothing from you; I ask nothing of you; why cannot we be friends?"
Saturday was all about Christmas, wrapping, cards, bows and the movie The Christmas Carol.
We kept singing "And God bless us every one."
And this is two of the first wrapped packages of the year.
Do you remember that wreath?
It is now the gift tag/ornament. Old habit we created years ago.
