Gwen Stefani recently revealed her secret hiding place, when her kids are driving her nuts …

She takes a breather in her closet!   What about you?   Some of our Facebook friends suggested a delayed game of hide-and-seek, the garage, or even “hiding in a bottle of wine”.

Shortly after lunchtime, the first snowman of the season was born in our backyard.

Moments later, Roy promptly got his baseball bat and demolished it to bits! (but not before we captured the moment on camera)

What about your yard? I’d love to see your photos … share with us above!

Our quest to de-clutter our lives continues, one week (and one bag) at a time.   You can do the same!

Week 48 (written by Jill):

This year, I’ve been so on top of boxing up Vivian’s clothes the minute they don’t fit her, but Roydon has so much more drawer space than her — I don’t tackle it enough, so I did it this week.

I filled two bags of clothes that ranged in sizes from 18mo – 4T. They’ll become hand-me-downs!

Next week:  … back to the crawlspace for Jill’s Precious Moments collection/tubs that haven’t seen daylight in years!

Woke up this morning and discovered that one of Santa’s elves had decided to move in …

Did this happen at your house too?   Roy named his elf Wocket (as in, “there’s a wocket in my pocket!” from his favorite Dr. Seuss book) … hope he comes back tomorrow morning!

What about you?  What did your kids name their elves?   Share with us above!

With lots of snacks and a portable DVD player in hand, I had two special guests in the studio late yesterday (due to Jill’s Breaking Dawn premiere.

Even when brief, Roy is still brilliant:

Roy woke up early yesterday morning and summoned us downstairs [quickly] to the back door!  When I got there, THIS was waiting for us …

Roy could barely contain his excitement at “Mr. Squirrel”!  As for the mess that remains, I still have to take care of it.

So, for you, how do you know it’s fall at YOUR house?  Share with us above!

As an adoptive parent, I can never thank Roy’s birthfamily enough for their gift to us … Rodney Atkins just met his birthmother recently, and the story is pretty incredible!

Jill’s card still has me laughing …

It said I could have something I would never usually get, but only for 24 hours:

“You get to be right!”

Looking out our front window this morning, I asked Roy, “WHERE are we going to put ALL this snow?”

After a deep pause, he declared, “UP IN THE SKY!”    Why didn’t we think of that sooner?

What about your kids … any good suggestions?  Share above!

A cute picture of the kiddies & Jilly hunkering down, minutes before it all went to p**p.  Literally.

Notice the essentials?   Facebook, a boppy pillow, and a case of beer.
