Chocolate and Africa, not African chocolate

I wonder if it is smart to give little monkey's chocolate or not, and yet that hasn't stopped me.
I gave one Peanut Butter cup to him, and one for me.
Cheers for Thursdays!!!!

In the afternoon we went to help Grandma make her Africa scrapbook. We added new pictures and stickers and drawings.

Twelve/XII/Doce

Today is 12/12/12 how cool os that our very last triple date for our entire lives!!!
For the moment Pito is celebrating with the candy cane Doris gave him and MY hot chocolate!!
=)

12/12/12 ended with a special bonus, hubby helped us donate 2 boxes of stuff to Bookman's and Goodwill. So I hope that the people that got it will have fun with their goodies.
Here is part of one of the boxes, no we didn't give Pito away.

Tuesday - Christmas cards...

I wonder how many Pito should sign? I will give him the chance to sign a few and I'll show you. ;)
We did 60 cards and Pito signed a few of them, he was good at writing his name, with a little help.
We watched the Christmas carol (yes again) while writing them out.
I just love that movie!!

Monday - We made fruit ornaments

Well we ate the fruit for a snack, but we did make ornaments out of the peels. Why not?
They smell good and they are so cute.
If you would like to make them it is quite easy.
Peel the lemon, lime, orange or grapefruit. Leave the largest pieces of the peeling as possible. Then use scissors or cookie cutters to shape them. We used a toothpick to make the holes and then put on a hook.
Let me warn you to first dry them before hanging or they will curl.
You can press them in a flower press, or between wax paper under a heavy book or inside of a book if you don't mind the smell later on. I don't.

Sunday - We went to the zoo to meet the zebra

We had to go to the zoo to meet the new little baby zebra, he is so cute, and actually brown and fuzzy still, although we have been told that he will get his black stripes soon enough. We have a second baby on her way into the world too. We can hardly wait.

Hanging with Grandma

Grandma, Pito and I went shopping, very specific shopping, so she watched him while we drove to Michael's for their $1.42 photo boxes, and some Christmas stickers for $1.99. Wasn't an expensive trip at all. The three of us listened to Christmas music and just gabbed the whole day long.

Then we went to Denny's for supper and then home. It was a wonderful Saturday.
