conversations at the racetrack

Diamond got the chance to drive a race car
Being a boy ‘n all that
He was MOST excited to get the chance to drive said race car
Sometimes Santa DOES pick the winner gift
~~Youcanthankmelater~~

Macaroni would have loved to have a turn too
~~over my limp lifeless dead body~~
Magoo wasn’t so sure

What if he crashes?

He drove like a mofo for 28 laps – he got up to 160 miles/ 257 km per hour
He was supposed to do just 18 laps, but their car dash camera didn’t work, and he didn’t want a t-shirt of the experience, he wanted the video.
So they GAVE him another 10 laps, and re-recorded that.
We have now watched that video forty-hundred times. Yeh.

The whole time he was whizzing around the track, Magoo kept saying, I don’t want to be an orphan. Orphan’s have to share a room with hundreds of other orphans and wear really ugly dresses
??
I’m like, you can only be an orphan if BOTH your parents are dead

Oh…

And she’s like, well I still hope he doesn’t crash
I don’t want to be a black widow either

What the…??

it’s not over….until I sing

2 days after Christmas, and my living room still looks like Santa’s sack exploded all over the joint
I’ll get to it all eventually
I’m prioritising
First, demolishing all the leftovers
Well done, me
Then making plans for New Year’s
Bring it.
Then, playing with all the cool stuff the kids got. Hello mini Fender guitar and drum kit!
Then anything else I can think of. Get nails done. Christen my new crockpot. Power naps. Take Eva back to the pound.
Then, maybe I’ll tackle this mess

But probably not.

classy crackers

I’m totally cheating with Christmas crafts this year
Some people bake. I’m lucky enough to have some mates that do, then drive around delivering the cookies they made, to non-bakers like me.
Then I do my bit by eating them
It’s a team effort.
I do like crafts though
The girls and I try a different one every year
This year I cheated like a mofo and grabbed some ‘pre-made’ craft kits
And by pre-made, I mean it’s the slacker’s way to be Martha Stewart.
I must have fore-seen my pre-Christmas disorganisation when I bought them

Whatevs
It’s still fun to do
These ones didn’t turn out too realistic though

Um. hello? I have my legs crossed

We have crackers on our table every year for Christmas.
This year, I grabbed these great ‘make your own’ kits from Marks & Spencer when I was in the UK
You add your own gifts to each one
Then label it to who you think should have that particular gift
Awesome, no?

Bet my mother-in-law LURVES her new teeth.
