Christmas in Kansas, Part One

Our drive to and from Lawrence was full of both the expected as well as the unexpected. A few things we expected:

Kevin and Jeff geeking out in the back seat:


A bit of prairie here and there:


Oz:


And a bit of the unexpected:

An unfortunate typo:


We tried to go and see the six legged steer,


and figured that if the six legged steer wasn't around, we'd be fine seeing the world's largest prairie dog,


but we only got as far as the fence around Prairie Dog Town. Apparently they aren't open for business this time of year.



More later.

Kitties in Boxes

Stinker and Izzy are making the most of the holiday season and enjoying the extra boxes we've got strewn about the house.




We're looking forward to the arrival of Jeff and Sarah, our first overnight guests, on Saturday night, and then it's off to Kansas on Sunday! Hoorah!

Just when you thought you were rid of us

Goodness we've been busy since our trip to Maine. Seems that most of our time has been spent crafting prezzies for Christmas, so for obvious reasons we won't be posting photos related to that activity. Kevin has also been working tirelessly on his new site design for work, and it looks brilliant.

We did get a bit of snow over the course of the past few days.


Nice, eh? This is about a mile up the road past our house. It's not like we've never seen snow before, but it was just so pretty we couldn't resist taking a few photos.


The trees were all covered in several inches of the lightest, fluffiest little snowflakes. The snow was so light, even wispy plants like this seemed unburdened by the weight.


This super hot guy shoveled off the front steps and made a pathway to the laundry room. I've been doing a snow dance all day in hopes of seeing him in action again soon.


Stinker and Izzy have been doing their best to stay busy. Stinker's favorite new haunt is this brown paper bag. He likes to sit in the bag. He likes to sit on the bag.


Not sure what they talk about when we're not around, but it probably has something to do with chicken. I picked the yarn in the background up at the Handweaver's Guild of Boulder annual sale a week ago. Handspun and dyed by a guild member. At some point I hope to turn it into a neck warming device, but I have no idea when I'll be able to fit that into the schedule.


Sarah and Jeff should be swinging into town in about two weeks, and then we're all off to Lawrence, Kansas for Christmas. We can't wait!
