Goodbye and Good Riddance 2012: If the world doesn't end, I'm going to need a note  

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. 2012--better luck next time.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Isn't it adorable? I was off to the side, and she was supposed to be looking forward, but she was so happy to see me being proud of her, you know? She's such a charmer sometimes.

Your evil plan was brilliant, sj. The kids have been making videos too--stories they record and narrate using their toys. I'd try to post them somewhere, but they're unholy long.

Art Crawl!!!

Love the video. It continues to prove to me that one of the things missing from my Christmases are concerts performed by the children of loved ones.

It's good to see even a few seconds of my girl.

Secret Santa box hit the post office today. Don't know if it will make it out to my giftee before Christmas. I am proud to say that this year I remembered to put a card with my name on it in the box.

Thrive to spite them

So last night all the presents and temptation were getting to me so I opened Bonny's presents --

It's like Gameapalooza!

So the first present I opened ias Who'se the Banana. Which looks like a silly fun game where one person wins and two people have to compete for the winner to figure out which one is really the banana.

Then - scratch and solve Hangman. Which can be played solo.

Then -- Monty Python flux!! I immediately wanted to play and after talking to Will discovered he's only seen one episode of Monty Python so Monty Python education will begin this mornng with the Holy Grail.

But wait! There's more - a set of dice and playing cards with a dice game explained (and we needed regular playing cards). And just when you think that's it --

Cthulu christmas ornament! Which will hang some where all year round. And Will isn't too familiar with Cthulu so that education will have to begin too.

Thank you Bonny soo much!!

Compassionately intolerant

Horizons have been expanded....yeeeessccchhhh!

I hope you have hours and hours of fun this year Askye.

Who's the Banana was a toss in recommended by the proprietrix of our local game store, Labyrinth. She loves it, so I hope you do too.

Happy funtime!!

Thrive to spite them

I introduced Will to Monty Python and the Holy Grail and we played the Fluxx game twice - once before he watched and once after. He liked it a lot more and it was a lot of fun.
