MaryM, you really have a knack for this! were you a greeting card writer in your PK life? or a headline writer? I'm cracking up over here!


No, but maybe I have a calling for my post kids career. I do enjoy "word play" - my dad was quite a punster and to some extent all of us kids (my siblings and I) picked up some inclination to do so - or at least we have an ear for it . As I was working on these, I was thinking of my dear dad and how we miss his puns. First Christmas without him.

And seriously this is like an addiction. Now your responses are egging me on in the Christmas carol genre:

~It Camo Upon a Midnight Clear
~Here we Cam O-Wassailing
~What Child is this (in green camo)?
~The Little Camo Boy
~Here we Camo a Caroling OR
~Here we Come a Camo-ing


And anxious to see your finished family pic as well, Suzanne. You better stop me...

Whew! Glad THAT's OVER!



Working now on the wording on the card. Wish I had a teenager to just DO this for me!

Picture is great! But I think the wording should say, :How did I get here with all these girls?

Adorable--even without the shotgun shell lights.

I think its funny that with all the pink and purple camo, he doesn't "blend in" AT ALL with his hunter's camo!
