The Saga, Part C

The next thing I know the girls, who were supposed to be sleeping at the time, walk into the living room looking like this:



















I tried to get a picture of them together. I'm not sure if Ruby was just extra excited or what, but every time I snapped the picture she jumped:
Although this last picture is a little blurry, I think it may be my favorite:
Ruby looks like some little animal with green ears. So cute. :)

The Saga Continued...

So, I crocheted for another afternoon and we have this:
That should solve the problem, right?

The Saga of the Silly Girls

My girls are at an interesting age. They are very aware of how everything works and want the doll world to work the same way the human world works. For example: they are not allowed to stay in their jammies all day so they don't think their dolls should stay in jammies all day.

One problem: the dolls only had jammies.

Obviously, something had to be done. So I spent the better part of two days crocheting and came up with this:
The girls were very excited, but they immediately started asking for "baby's hat".

Stupid Computers

Why is it that something can work so well and then, suddenly, not work AT ALL? I have some things to post, but I've been dealing with stupid computer problems so I haven't gotten to them. No, my computer issues do not cause me to not be able to blog. It's just that I've been spending a lot of time trying to make my computer work right. I've been too frustrated with it to get to anything else.

If you want to know what the problem is, here's the basic synopsis:
I had a CD burner and a DVD drive, both worked fine until a month ago when I needed to burn a whole bunch of CDs and my CD burner stopped working. The DVD drive still worked fine.
A few days ago Ray put a new CD burner in my computer -- same brand of drive, just newer, put it in the same spot with the same connections. The CD burner works great. The DVD drive is no longer recognized by the computer.
If I unplug the CD burner the DVD drive will work. Apparently I can only have one or the other. I have tried everything I can think of. AAARGHHHHH!!!!!!

So, now that I have given up on having both drives, perhaps I can get caught up on my blog. :-)

SOMEONE* is a sore loser...

That same someone who insisted we try a poll on the lion/prairie dog issue. This someone is certain none of you have ever seen a real live prairie dog (although this same someone admits this someone has never seen a real live lion so that may be a moot point). Someone claims the pictures were taken in such a way as to bias people (the same someone who wanted the pictures to be taken with the creature sticking out of a prairie dog hole because that wouldn't be biasing at all).

Don't worry, I'm not gloating. I knew I was right all along. :-)

*If I said "He" it would give it away too easily in this house...

Please help us settle a dispute...

What does this creature look more like to you?

a. A Prairie Dog
b. A Lion

Thank you for your participation.

Christmas

The girls found this little kitchen by the tree when they got up.
It was a hit. So were the rest of their gifts, here are pictures of a few things:

I love how Ruby has her baby wrapped up in the blanket in this picture:
The girls were happy to pull one thing out of a stocking and play with it. Ray was very impatient. He kept asking, "What else have you got? Do you want to open another present?" I don't have any problem with them taking their time, they might as well enjoy all their gifts.
