Further proof of the slight OCD of Debris... this is her going to the bathroom process. Run into the bathroom dancing. Continue dancing while opening BOTH drawers. Continue dancing while carefully lining up the under-the-sink cupboard door with the bathroom door, until PERFECTLY lined up. Pull down pants and take flying leap onto toilet, yelling the whole while that nobody better mess up "my gate." Howl with horror if someone should mess up the gate with the slightest of unnoticeable bumps. Leap off the toilet and fix said gate, at soonest possible moment. When done, walk through gate backwards, fixing it to perfection behind her, every step of the way. Holler again that "Nobody better mess up my gate!!!!" (As you can imagine, I get great glee out of coming along and minutely adjusting the gate randomly, and walking away. It's quite entertaining, this small torture of my children.)
Scrambled Crayons?
I have no idea who did this...
A fine vintage, to be sure...
I've been noticing things like this a lot... food eaten into shapes, and randomly left around the house in spots with coordinating shapes... My first guess would be Debris, but I'm not entirely sure.
Kiki actually put together this neighborhood. Right after I had cleaned the house to (near) perfection. She was so proud, I couldn't find it in me to tell her to put it away, until the next morning. 
And here are the crazies themselves. :-)
I took this pic of Saddle Rock yesterday while sledding. I'm quite in love with Wenatchee in the Winter, I must say. It is SO BEAUTIFUL here! I'm going to have to do a sledding post soon... so many fun pics!
Happy New Year!
Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us. ~Hal Borland (I love this quote!)
I read this in my morning devotions, it seemed particularly fitting for New Year's Eve...
For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and Holy is His name. And His mercy is on those who fear Him, from generation to generation. Luke 1:49,50
I love how this referenced the "great things" the Lord has done (for me!) in the past, as well as his promises for us in the future, and our children. He could even now be waiting for just one person to come to Him, before He takes us home. Even so, quickly come, Lord Jesus!
That's funny, my girls had the same tendency to line things up in a row. Mainly it was stuffed animals...over, and over again. I think it's an important part of their development.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
the gate is ingenious! much harder to navigate that thing, for an ambusher, if there's ambush afoot say, than to simply open a door and perform said ambush. and the "cleanliness to perfection" -- you'd miss that living room neighborhood if nobody ever made one again. :-) the winter scene is awesome! i love it when the lighting makes the landscape look so rugged! have a great year! or whatever portion of it we're here for ...

It totally cracks me up how OCD B is. It totally runs in the family (Dad). It makes me think about how all the dials in Dads car are always pointing up when he is done driving. Cracks me up! I love the snow pics. B and I are dreaming of when we can move there! Aunti G
ReplyDeleteI love those verses; I've had them on my fridge most of the year.
