Holiday Card Photos–take 2

When last we left our heroine she was struggling with how to make this holiday card more festive.

DSC_2811

It needed something. There was a decided lack of…holiday spirit.

I know!

It needs bounty hunters

Because nothing says ‘peace love & joy’ quite like bounty hunters.

Except maybe… bounty hunters with candy canes!

'DSC_2932

Ok, yeah. Candy canes. They are festive holiday things right?

Let’s get everyone together for a group shot shall we?

Enough with the sulking Rex, turn around & face the camera. You WILL play nicely with the bounty hunters for the next 5 minutes.

That goes for you too Bane!

And someone make sure Greenie doesn’t choke on that candy cane will you?

I went to get a couple more candy canes & came back to this.

Honestly you guys! Can’t leave you alone for a second. Fett is unarmed & not a threat to you. Put down the gun Cody & let go of the candy cane Rex.

Everyone get back in position

DSC_2881

Oh my god Rex! That’s it! You are on time out!

DSC_2889

And you can join him Bane if you don’t knock it off

DSC_2877

There will be peace love & joy in this photo if I have to beat it out of all of you!

Cody, you and Bane act like you can be civil for a few a moments. Put your arms around each other.

DSC_2882

And perhaps not look so annoyed by it Cody.

DSC_2884

Better but I *know* I told you to put the gun down earlier.

And I never said you could pick it back up again, did I?

DSC_2883

See, it’s not that difficult, nobody’s picked up any bounty hunter cooties or clone cooties either.

Now all together as a group & everyone better play nice or there will be NO hot chocolate afterward.

I have all day people.

We can just sit here until bedtime if that’s what it takes.

DSC_2890

Bane: She won’t really keep us here all day will she?

Cody : Oh that’s right. You weren’t here for last year’s card. She’ll keep us here as long as it takes. Best to just humor her.

Greenie: She’s not kidding about the hot chocolate either. And I WANT hot chocolate, so listen to her already or I’ll bite your head off.

Enough chatter! Line up people! and dinos!

DSC_2885

Better.

But geez…

BANE!

You all are really pushing my buttons today.

One last try everyone

DSC_2888

Finally!

    Are you perhaps feeling slightly less than blessed about the early Christmas break for the boys?! ;-)

    It was worth it, the photos are just *fabulous*, as is the story behind them xx

    That. Was. Fantastic! Stacey I have been laughing aloud at this post - it's such amazing fun! Thanks for a bundle of laughs, it's a great post!
    The finished photo was worth all the hard work in the end, wasn't it?
    Tell Havoc and Mayhem I approve...

    This was probably my favourite post of the month, if not the year.

Alphanumeric Blog Hop

I thought I was too late to sign up for it because I was a couple days behind on reading Mel’s blog, but then she contacted me and asked if I could do a post about punctuation. Punctuation? Yes. Punctuation. or perhaps I mean: Yes…punctuation. The first response is clear cut. Yes. It is about punctuation. The second is slightly less certain.  Yeeessss. I suppose it is about punctuation, of all things. It’s kinda rambly & disjointed but still, you must admit punctuation is the focus. Punctuation is very important when communicating on line – we have no sarcasm font or snarky response font – so punctuation helps fill in the gap. At least for me. I use ellipses … all the time. Sometimes they mean “and yes, here is the punch line” or “here is the sarcastic bit”. Usually they just express a general dubiousness about the whole thing, such as in my example, which is in line with their accepted use to suggest faltering or fragmented speech accompanied by confusion, inse

This takes the cake. Or, actually, it eliminates the bread. We all know I am a lazy slacker when it come to cleaning out and/or rotating the food in my house Much to my mom’s intense embarrassment I have shared the results of this particular failing numerous times on this blog The freezer The fridge The pantry The surprise Milanos So no one will be  at all shocked to learn I have done it AGAIN! And I outdid myself rather spectacularly this time. You might recall the 3 year’s expired bag of tater tots in the freezer last year, or the 3 year’s expired bag of pasta from the pantry back in January. Pshaw! 3 years? A mere 3? Amateur effort. Ladies & Gentleman I present my greatest find to date 7 years expired yeast! Go me! I switched over to bulk bag yeast around the time this expired & I keep that in the fridge rather than the baking cupboard like the packaged stuff. This must have fallen behind the baking soda or the Karo syrup or something &
