Day 5

Today we stayed in our pjs, played games (even Monopoly), and built our very 1st gingerbread house! Since I've never done this before, we went the easy route and bought the kit with the ready-made pieces. Does anyone actually start from scratch on these? I really would like to know. Maybe we'll try it next year...

 

 

On a side note, the most bizarre thing happened this morning. We were minding our own business when we heard a very loud "BANG!" on our front door. Josh ran over to see who (or what) it was -- and there was a huge owl laying on our doorstep! By the time I could get my camera, it had flown up to our neighbors' basketball hoop to shake off the rest of the stars swimming around its head.

 

That doesn't happen every day so do you think we can count it as another 'special'??

The owl was just looking for someone to play with and he had heard rumors that a little boy lived behind that particular door who liked to play with "unusual animals and reptiles." I guess in the owl's exuberance to find out if the rumors were true, he forgot to ring the door bell. Too bad - I think the owl and the boy would have had a good time playing - don't you?!
