Toilet paper and canned tuna, what else does one need?

Since going back to talk a little about Christmas, I have decided to share what went on the day after Christmas. My older sister, her fiance, and their children, and my mom and my younger sister, were all coming over to my place to celebrate Christmas. I was having a tough day, trying to take care of my three kids, trying to clean up the house since i wasn't home the day before (after we opened up presents on Christmas morning the girls played for a little while then we went to "K"s parents house), a guy came and looked at our furnace, then of course when he got there it fired right up for him, ugh figures. I still hadn't wrapped what I had gotten my little sister, who is 11 but will be 12 on the 11th, so I thought that I would be creative. We had bought her a game boy game that she wanted. Well when you wrap up a game boy game, its way obvious unless you have a box to throw it in, which i did not. Being tired and stressed I needed something to brighten my day before I ended up with company and got crabby. Well I found a gift bag to put the game in, that was great so it wouldn't be obvious what the gift was. But I wanted to take it one step further, I needed amusement, I really did. I started looking around, well on the counter was a roll of toilet paper that lil' biffy had stolen from the bathroom, I started laughing hysterically, I grabbed the toilet paper and threw it in the gift bag. Well I couldn't stop there, that was just way funny, had to make it funnier. I grabbed a can of tuna, now in tears with how hard I was laughing, and threw that in the bag too. Well then I thought, you can't have just tuna, you need something to go with the tuna, so I grabbed some cheesy noodle tuna helper and threw that in there, chuckling at the thought of how clever I really was. After all that I had to hurry it up to the bathroom so I didn't lose it in my pants. Once done, I saw a lone package of Ramen noodles on my microwave cart, they were so lonely I had to throw them in the bag too lol. Then I grabbed the game and stuck it underneath the cardboard bottom piece of the bag and organized the contents of the bag, then threw in a bunch of tissue paper and was done. Well after all that playing around, I looked at the time, oh crap!!! My family was going to be there any minute! I got ready real fast and was still trying to tidy up the place real quick, I didn't realize that I had been playing with that gift bag full of gag gifts for almost an hour!!!
I thought that since this is a blog I use or should use, mostly for knitting, I thought I'd post a picture of what sissy got from my older sister for Christmas. She was really excited when she saw what it was! It's a knitting kit to knit animals. Of course she hasn't done it yet, but I'm sure she will soon.



Grandma got Kit Dora's Magical Castle!!!! I think that was her most favorite thing that she got this year, she still plays with it everyday lol. Of course she's saying now that she needs Boots, Swiper, Benny, Diego, and all the other characters so she can really play with it lol. No picture of lil' biffy bifferton, all the pictures I got with my camera she turned her face away from me, oh well what can ya do, she's only one lol. In other news, I gave my mom and sister their dishcloths that I made for them. I didn't get around to taking a picture of my sister's that I made, but I did take a picture of the cloths I made for my mom in her football colors. My sister wasn't too keen on the knitted dishcloth, she said she felt bad for using it, it was like using a blanket to wash her counters lol, finally I yelled at her and told her she better use it!!! She says she uses it now so thats nice. My mom loves hers and wants more more more!!!!!!
