A few more things...

After we got home from the big storm last week we were greeted with this...

The Front Door of Doom!
Luckily we don't use the front door in the winter, for this exact reason.
On another note, how do you get your kids to pose for a photo? I wanted something with me and both Blue and Razz and this is what we ended up with...



 
We ended up on the floor and had lots of fun, but no perfect pic. Oh, well. Maybe it's better that way!
And here's a little something for those of you who need a laugh...

 
Oh, my sweet Blue. With your sisters pink boots, and that tin can "helmet" on, you remind me of your father.

All I GOT for Christmas!


I got a lot, actually. Surprising since we have almost no spare money. Mr. CB cheated and used the points off our credit card to shower me with gifts, which also meant that I couldn't use the points for him. I only gave him one present, and I had to use all my Christmas money sent in from various relatives, so really it was from everybody. Anyhow, my favorite gift I got was...

Star Trek Next Generation Season 4!!
Never mind that I don't have Season 3, that can wait. And since my sweet sister Kay was visiting, we stayed up late Treking out. Woot! It's so nice having someone who is as crazy about Star Trek NG as I am. Mr. CB thinks it's nice and all, but doesn't geek out about it like I do. In fact, often he finds it makes a good lullaby. Oh well, he's perfect in every other way. I guess I can't hold it against him. I mean, he did buy it for me after all.
I'm also excited for all of our new Wii games! Kay got us the new Wii Fit Plus, which has a ton of fun new games, and a much better workout program than the original Wii Fit. My brother Farris gave us Mario Party 8, which I'm excited to play with my other sister May and her fam in Georgia. He also got the kids some maraca music game. And then Mr. CB was blessed with Wii Skate and Tony Hawk Ride which we already had to warranty the board because it kept cracking. We only have a week left to play since school starts soon and it's practically impossible to find time for Wii when you don't have enough time to make a decent meal.
Speaking of meals, Blue won't eat almost everything. Even his favorites he's starting to refuse. Dorky boy! We try to limit snacks between meals so we know he's hungry, but if he doesn't want it, he'd rather go to bed without anything. So it's Pediasure, chicken nuggets, peanut butter, watermelon, and cereal. That's it if you don't count cake, cookies, and candy that he prefers. Any ideas? Preferably ones that don't involve time or money, because I have neither!
I'm making some pizzelles today, 'cause the Crackle Berry Bush is going to be rockin' tonight for New Years Eve. Yum! Anyway, I better go before Razz and Blue tip over Grandma's Christmas tree...again.

The One and Only...

Me, that is! Welcome to my blog. I'll just assume the only reason you're reading this is because you know me already. But because I'm using pseudonyms, I'll go ahead and introduce you my Crackle Berry family. My sweet hubby...

 Mr. Crackle Berry (Mr. CB)
and my Crackle Berry babies...

As it is getting late, and I promised Mr. CB I'd play some Wii with him before we turn out the lights of our tiny house, I'll leave it at that. Happy New Year!
