That’s just gross!

OK, so I bought some weird gifts for Christmas... and really, I only bought like, three gifts for the kids. (Adrianne is the master at Christmas shopping... while I'm the master at making Christmas money, boo-yeah!)

This photo demonstrates how awesome I am at buying Christmas gifts... I bought the kids some stocking stuffers, candy from the local grocery store.

Because Boyd is a boy, I bought him a sucker with a toilet bowl. See photo. I thought he'd like it.

He liked it, but the candy was gross. 

OK, no worries, it's trash.

I also bought Evey some similar candy (but not the toilet candy.) Because she is sweet, I have not heard about this candy again.

I'm sure she felt guilty and sad when she threw it away....

Got to see UV!

BEST EBAY AUCTION EVER!!!

Soon, people of earth... I will share the entire contents of my recent eBay auction...

But for now let me tease u with this tidbit: all the items in the photo (even including the ultra-rare Wings ice scraper) that Evey is modeling...

We're mine for LESS THAN $250!!!

Death of a gingerbread house

This photo is of Boyd Atticus Jones, seemingly proud of his gingerbread house he constructed at school. Note the smile, the excitement.

We're sad to report that the entire gingerbread house... including the recyclables that were inside it, serving as a foundation for the house... were consumed by one Kookie Kokonuts Jones, AKA our dog, while everyone was away from the house.

Furthermore, Koko then got sick and went to the bedroom — mom's side, of course — and lost control of her bowels.

And of course she did all of this while I was on a business trip, BECAUSE.

So nice job on the gingerbread house Boyd. Next year, let's remember: gingerbread houses need to be stored 1) on the roof of the house or 2) in the dumpster.

But nice work!
