candy corn and...Santa?

Ava informed me that it was time to write Santa a letter. "No," she thought, "let's call him instead."

I explained to her that he responded best to letters and that if he took phone calls he'd never get anything made.

Curious, I asked, "What do you want to say in your letter to Santa?"

"I want him to bring me a pink guitar and a shirt with a pocket at Christmas."

Containing the Splurge (and a bit of the urge)

We've been cleaning out around here. Sorting, tossing, and containing. While we've been trying to use what we have, we needed a little bit extra, too. So we bought some storage containers, like these, from the container store. (Careful though, shipping can get expensive).
