I found the frog origami here, now you can print out your own and make them as well. Marilyn Scott-Waters is the creator of all these darling paper crafts. The purpose of her website, www.thetoymaker.com, is to bring us big guys together with the wee ones in our lives. It has worked at our home, you should try it at yours.

There are the otter paper dolls with Colonial American, Roaring 20s outfits and pajamas.

There is a little puppet theater with waves and scenes to put your little characters in. There is also a darling T-Rex movable card, perfect for a little boy.

This is silly. I have never had a cat, but if/when I get one, I think I will choose this one. It will be evil when I am not looking at it, kind of like the ghosts on all those Mario games. As soon as I turn around to look at it, it will be a sweet purring ball of fur.

I made several of these ornaments this year for my Christmas tree and maybe some for yours as well. I think they are so delicate and pretty looking. Like pretty snowballs made from only the most beautiful snow flakes.

If you would like to make some go here.

g – Mom, Dad is married to Giselle.
m – Oh. Who am I married to than?
g – You are married to me.

m – Gentry, we are going to go and see Santa at the gym (community center) tonight!
g – Oh! is he exercising?

On the day of mass expulsion when my mom came over.
m – Gentry, who is at the door?
g – SANTA!

m – This is Mary and Baby Jesus and his dad Joseph.
g – No, this is Mary and Baby Joseph and his dad Joseph Smith.

g – Mom, I am a big guy with little hands. Can you open the dvd for me?

g- Dad, you are my bestest friend.
He then laid his head on jj’s shoulder.

Wouldn’t this make the most incredible Christmas present?

Um, yes.

Because my ovaries could be in full on menopausal shrivel and I could see him and they would burst into full bloom once again.

You may get the towels here.

My Grandma Katherine gave me this doll when I was a baby. She also gave one to my cousin Cassie and they look like us; mine with dark hair, hers with blond. In our infinite toddler wisdom we named them, mine is Mary Mine and Cassie’s is Ann Santa.

They are Madam Alexander dolls and I am sure in their prime they were beautiful. Mine used to cry when I tipped her on her tummy those days are long gone. Her fingernails are now etched with blue marker or pen from some random time when I tried to gussy her up. Her legs are coming unstitched and her hair is in a constant state of rats nest. She is mine and always has been. She is my fancy doll and has quite the wardrobe to prove it, with overalls with hand stitching and lots of little dresses from many Christmas’ of my childhood. She is an heirloom to me and reminds me of my family and childhood.

Mary is posing here with a doll quilt I made for my niece Lilly for Christmas. I am terribly proud of it and so excited to give it away to a cute little girl.

Here is a nice snack bento packed full of sugar to keep the boy quiet while consuming. Shortly after he was finished we unleashed him on the poor unsuspecting nursery. He only maimed one child in the tornado of sugar energy that followed.

Here we are in full holiday attire to help you welcome in the Christmas Season.

Love,
The Robinson + Spiderman

Go here to watch us dance.
