Ashley’s Scavenger Sunday challenge is very quickly becoming my favorite photo challenge. Here’s this week’s entry.
1. Stacked up

These blocks are haunting me in my dreams, but I absolutely love the bright colors.
2. Winter Wonderland

We took all of the decorations inside the house down, but haven’t been motivated enough to take down the lights outside. Since there is no snow on the ground (although today it is approximately 10 degrees out), this is the closest thing to winter wonderland that I can think of. That, and maybe it’ll remind me that we should take our lights down. Le sigh.
3. Sweet

My little snuggle bunny, all cozy on the couch. I think this dog would spend all day cuddling on the couch if he could. Unfortunately for him, the baby prefers to chase him around the house and tease him with his toys.
4. Hole

I love Ashley’s interpretation with the toilet bowl, but with our super hard well water, you don’t even want to see the nasty stained toilet that haunts me daily. Instead, this is my favorite vase from Crate & Barrel. My sister-in-law got it for us one Christmas some years ago and it’s still my favorite home accessory.
5. Frozen

This is the closest thing to snow that we have – frost on the windows. Which reminds me, I need to add “clean windows” to my to-do list. RIght next to “take down Christmas lights.”

Happy Sunday!
