Catch up day - Tacky Sweater Party

It's long past laundry day and we need a day to catch up...what a crazy household...but crazy fun!  Today is catch up on laundry, the blog, wrap presents that have arrived from Amazon, etc.  Jill and Dave have their "Tacky Christmas Clothes" party tonight so Jill got started on her sweater early, before her Japanese Ladies Class.
 She had found a white sweater with fur trim around the neck at the base rummage store for $4.  She had odds and ends of garland, battery operated lights and small round ornaments for her tree.  That and glue gun created quite a wonderful product!
Not bad..in the right store folks would
pay a lot of $$ for this sweater!
 Ryan working hard on his math  homework.  It's all computer based in first grade.  And he's turning into a great reader!  That's still taught with book in hand!   Meanwhile Colin is totally engrossed in his latest Heros in Training book.  He goes through about one book a day.
Jill and Dave ready for the party.
Dave in his tacky Hawaiian shirt with
with lovely gold decorative strand of
beads..not sure that made it into the
party!  

Just enough time to hit the freezer for some ice cream before it's time for bed.  We followed the kids in pretty much but it was a very fun day and all the 8 piles of laundry are clean and folded :-)
