A Clown.....and dragons, and castles and knights.

Do you know these clowns? Well the one on the left is my son, Nick, and the other his buddy Ian, who took part in the local Santa Claus parade this past Saturday. It was a chilly morning with the temperature hovering around the freezing mark but they still managed to hand out their fair share of candy canes to all the kiddies watching the parade.

Meanwhile at home, it was a busy weekend, with some house cleaning and decluttering, finally getting some drapes hung in my living/dining rooms, and valances, which were taken down the next day - didn't like 'em! And the house is looking ever so festive with our Christmas tree and decorations put up.

And the dragons, and castles and knights? Well I kept dreaming about them last night, after several games of Carcassonne over Saturday and Sunday. Carrie and JF brought it home after a game's night at a friends and introduced the rest of the family. I'm definitely hooked, or I should say, we are all hooked! There goes my stitching time!
