Sugar Bowls and Christmas Lights

Here's a little incident that happened a couple of weeks ago. I meant to post it earlier, but life happens. Want to know what this is? It's my sugar bowl. Can you guess what that is on top? Pepper. That entire can of pepper you see there in the back is now empty.

And here's the inside... more pepper. Anyone want to guess what adorable two-year-old girl was standing there saying, "oh no." You should also notice the jar of candy corn that she drug to the edge of the counter. Luckily she never managed to open the latch. Sigh.

On a totally different note. Here's my husband standing on a ladder. He spent about eight hours climbing ladders and walking around on the roof messing with cords and little clips, but in the end it gave us...

This! (I don't think photos ever do justice to Christmas lights.) This is the first year we've ever decorated the house with lights. We're still deciding how far we want to go. This might be all we do this year, but part of me keeps screaming MORE LIGHTS!! The kids think it's amazing, and that's all that really matters. I'm just thankful that I have a husband willing to do these type of things.

Have a pepper-riffic, light-tastic day!
