Santa Cow Visit

Filed Under: Christmas, Family, Photography Tagged With: carsyn, dustyn

Our Chickfila was having Kids night and we went by there to see Santa Cow and to get Dusytn’s face painted. Carsyn loved Santa Cow and did not cry at all. YAY! I was so happy. He just kept talking and talking to him. I thought it was so cute. Just wish they would have looked at me. Oh well, next time!!

Then Dustyn did a craft and got his face painted.

The final.

My ISO for these photos was 3200. My old camera didn’t even go up that high. I think they turned out pretty good considering the light I had to work with.

Are you all ready for Christmas? What do you have left to do? I am almost done wrapping.  It still doesn’t feel like Christmas. We have been having some warm weather. It has been pretty crazy.

    that tongue! So cute and thanks for the tip on bumping the ISO, I wasn't sure if that was a "no no" or not! I'll be trying it with all the bad christmas lighting this weekend.

    Oh my goodness! i LOVE that pirate face painting! That ROCKS! The Chick-fil-a in Tampa is all decked out for Christmas. They have the most amazing light show with snow and carolers. It's part of our Advent calendar activities every year.

6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.

Two and a half months after her first tooth she fi Two and a half months after her first tooth she finally lost her second tooth. It’s been hanging on barely. Today while eating lunch I told her it was close to coming out and we would need to pull it before bed. While eating chicken teriyaki she thought she swallowed it and spit out the chicken in her mouth. I dug through it and it wasn’t there. She started freaking out. Then looked on the chair and it was sitting right there. 🤣 A similar thing happened with Prestyn on one of his bottom teeth. My kids never want to pull them out until they fall out on their own. Ha.

I made the mistake of not repotting my philodendro I made the mistake of not repotting my philodendron white wizard when I first got it, I also didn’t give it enough sunlight. So it was growing soooooo slow. I finally repotted it a couple weeks ago, moved it closer to a window, and started using plant food from @happyhappyhouseplant. Not sure what made the most difference but the leaf opened and now a new one is already starting. Hoping it won’t take as long this time.

Annelyn is loving her new hair cut and loving her hair straightened. Swipe for some adorable photos, she came up with all her own poses. Also the very last photo is her hair before, it was a hot mess. Mollie cut off 3-4 inches and it looks much healthier now.

Do you celebrate Valentine’s Day? If so, did you do anything fun?
