Brian was game to pose for the picture, but told me firmly that he wasn't going to eat the carrot saying, "I'm just gonna pretend to eat this carrot. I don't like it because it is hairy." in reference to the spindly little roots all over it. I cleaned off all of the, "hairs" for him and told him he could eat it, but he just looked at me blankly as if to ask, "Are you unwell, mother?" I ate several of the carrots the boys harvested and they were actually quite good.I got the PedEgg that I have been asking for. As I tried it out I was thrilled to find that it actually works! While Brian was watching me he said thoughtfully, "You could use that to cut apples, Mom."

I've got to go, now...I have to hide my PedEgg before Brian tries to julienne some apples with it.
Merry Christmas! We love you!

I love the ped egg!! Unlike you, I very much enjoy the warm Christmas. I like that the kids can go out and actually play with their presents, and that it is not so cold that caroling is miserable.
Enjoy your harvest!
That pedi egg picture with the skin coming out makes me ill.
Who eats carrots on Christmas when there are cookies to be had and calories don't count? After all I ate yesterday I could use a carrot though.
Carrots? Who would have thought?
For a minute I thought that was an Easter picture! (get it--rabbits?)
I have always wondered if those ped eggs worked.
We didn't get a white Christmas either... Darn.
I got the Ped Egg too!! Glad to know it works. I will have to break mine open today.
Thanks for the apple cutting tip-- mine will have to be hidden too!! :)
Why don't you go julienne some carrots with that? Maybe Brian would eat them that way :)
I'm glad you had a Merry Christmas.
I love that Ped Egg too! Congrats on getting your kids to eat home grown veggies on Christmas!! I ate sweets, sweets and more sweets.
The Ped Egg....luckyyyyyyy.
L-my tonsils come out on Jan 14-please advise!
I love the carrots! I know what you mean about the warm weather. It was 80 degrees in my house when I went to bed last night so I turned on the AC. In Dec that's just wrong!
Apples, huh? So funny! Merry Christmas!!
I love my ped egg! Here in Az people (who have their act together) actually plant gardens in the Fall, for a wonderful winter harvest. Someday I will be one of those people. someday...
Love your Christmas carrot shots!
Christmas carrots...I like it, definitely wouldn't find that kind of surprise here in the tundra of Washington.
I want a ped egg. I first heard about it from Lindsey and now you. I am totally going to give in to peer pressure.
(Did I spell pressure wrong...it looks funny to me. I am so sleep deprived it's not even funny!)
I'm with Brian,who wants to eat hairy carrots? You are right though, it could at least be cool in December, maybe low 60's :)
Oh, you make me so jealous! It is freezing here compared to Georgia! It's snowing like crazy & Paul & the girls love the snow... but I'll take a Georgia Christmas any day. I still haven't adjusted to the dry & cold of the West.
I just noticed you posted your address, so I'll get your card out to you! Sorry, about it being late!
I have never heard of the Ped Egg. Will look into it!
Happy New Year!!
I Want a Ped egg too! I see them every where. I am with you on the weather, it was 75 here in San Diego. I went to Utah for Christmas and we had a very white Christmas, loved it!!!
you crack me up. i am happy you enjoy reading my blog. plus, you are a great commenter. i've enjoyed getting to know you.
As Seen on TV! A woman close to my heart. Dx got Shamwows.
oh, that last thought made me ill! thanks! i sure hope brian doesn't get a hold of it! i think i need one of those ped eggs! these pregnant feet in the dry climate, let me tell you, are NOT pretty! not pretty at all!
A staph infection??! OH, THE ABSOLUTE HORROR!! I hope you're okay.
And...
I love my pedegg too. But dumping that crap out makes me puke.
Ok- there was a lot going on in that post- bubt the one thing that sticks out to me...
the Ped Egg.
I got one, too-and I don't like it at all. I guess my feet were too dry for it. But it my ate my feet up and then I dumped out all the nasty skin in the trash. I don't like to know what is coming off my feet. Much less SEE it.
