Falling leaves, decorating trees and mystery meat

These pictures span the rest of the weekend.

On Saturday,w e had breakfast with my parents and then did some Christmas shopping- for the Little Bug only- and then headed back to my parents to help rake leaves with my dad (Pap). Little Bug even got his own little rake- although it was best if you stayed well away from him- he used it as a weapon most of the time. The pile of leaves was too much to resist and he jumped right in.
Then he decided to lay down in the wet leaves (thank goodness for flannel lined jeans and a water proof jacket.
He is laughing and smiling in this picture- you just have imagine you can see and hear it.

That night we started decorating the tree- Little Bug adding a snowman, I think.

Still trying- we have about 1/2 of box more of ornaments to put up. We should get them up by the end of this week. I also have to get the Christmas cards finished. If you would like a Christmas card- please reply with your address (I will not publish the comment) and you will be added to our list.
On to the mystery meat: Ever since Little Bug has been home, he has turned his nose up at hamburger if you say that the meat is hamburger. he eats meat loaf (thanks El) and he will start to eat a hamburger at McDonald's- but he stops as soon as he hears that it is hamburger.

Tonight we had potato pancakes and Yummy (hamburger). As you can see, he eating it.

In fact, he ate a full hamburger (with katsup) and kept asking for more. he barely ate the potato pancakes- but maybe next time.
So just in case we are coming to your house and having hamburgers with you- just call them "Yummies" and Little Bug will eat like there is no tomorrow.

I hope you had a wonderful, peaceful, blessed holiday weekend

Love to you,

Deb AKA Momma Bug
