Nightmare?

Injecting butter into a live turkey.

Eating your first Thanksgiving dinner by yourself?

one of the kids is in a bubble bath?

idk, but it does look like a head peeking out of something one the bottom left....

lol Susan ... nice solve buddy

Learning to swim?

Paytyn broke a window, and she's admiring her handiwork? Or a storm blew a tree branch through the window of the girls' bedroom?

You lost Paytyn in the clutter mess created by Chastydy and Destyny playing?

Destyny playing Hide and Seek?

It looks like one or two of the girls playing in the leaves. (I guess it came to me being a New Englander) Or maybe climbing a tree. I don't know :(

did one of the girls get into your christmas decorations or trying to help daddy :)

I also guessed one of the girls hiding in a pile of leaves and sticks.

I like the leaves and sticks, too.

One of your girls giving herself a haircut?

Great guesses gang. Susan's is very funny. No one actually guessed correctly however I do feel compelled to award FBA'S to the following aunties and uncles.

The real answer here is that the tree that we cut down on Saturday and decorated on Sunday fell down on me on Sunday evening. This is me peeking out from under it. I award an FBA to Norma because it certainly was a nightmare. Congrats Norma.

I also award an FBA to Susan for a very funny guess. I believe this may be your first one Susan though I may be wrong. None the less you will be thrilled when you receive it.

I award one to Kurt for at least recognizing there was a face peeking out from the bottom left corner. You are so astute Kurt buddy.

I award an FBA to my good buddy Sensei because he enjoyed Susan's guess and because he commented on the solve. Thx Tom buddy.

An FBA goes to Teresa because I found her answer to be scary funny and something I can see happening when Paytyn starts to crawl.

Congratulations to all who won an FBA and thank you to all who participated. Of course you all realize that these will not be your run of the mill everyday FBA'S. No No No. these FBA's come from an extensive pile of my grandmother's favourite boots. Not because they were particularly comfortable or stylish but because they are the ones that got to kick the most butt. Not only did she kick my mother's butt with them but she kicked many a farm animal and my grandfather who spent what he perceived to be "quality time" with said farm animals. All my aunts and uncles were on the receiving end of these boots as were my brothers and sisters and myself as well. They are well worn. Definitely not suitable to be worn again although they may fit some of you ladies. I don't recommend trying them on though cause your feet and legs will move in a way that feet and legs are not ment to move or bend. These boots are only to be displayed and cherished and gazed upon with pride and amazement that you have something so wonderful sitting on your mantel. Again congrats all. :)

That would be a nightmare, all right. Hope no one was hurt.

I hope the tree wasn't too badly damaged.

Thx for the sympathy John buddy. A fellow Canadian too. The tree did not suffer at all. Every year we go in the woods behind our house to cut our Christmas tree. Every year I think I've picked a winner only to find that Niki doesn't agree. I always thought it was more about family tradition and the kids having fun,not so much worrying about having a perfect tree. This is the last Christmas that we cut a tree. I will buy them from now on. :)

A year is a long time. Maybe things will change.

Ouch! If it happened to me, there'd be colorful bruises, swelling, and a cartoonish bump on the head. (I'm talking about an encounter with a tree, not with a boot.)

Yeah, there's nothing cartoonish about the bump you get on your head from a frozen boot - ask a hockey player about how it can work out very badly.

Aldege, this might be something to look in to (if you haven't all ready). When people with these problems are well rested, they can deal better with the problems of everyday living.

People with Anxiety, Insomnia, PTSD, ADHD, and more are turning to weighted blankets. Here's where we found ours: http://amzn.to/2gAvwVG

Here's the problem Norma. His medication prevents him from feeling sleepy. So we have to give him a different pill before bed to help him sleep as well as Melatonin. His room is a disaster and even though we make him clean it(that's a huge fight)he gets it messy almost immediately. He's a hoarder and I've taken so much stuff out of his room that it has filled my basement. Niki won't let me throw it out. After a while I do throw stuff out without their knowledge cause I can't stand living like that. He doesn't keep his sheets or blankets on his bed and his bed is full of toys,rocks,garbage you name it. So he has to clean that up before he can lie on his bed. If he's not supervised he could take an hour to finally lie down. Consequently he will end up going to bed to late and be tired in the morning and have a breakdown cause he has to get up early for school. It's a vicious cycle and Niki being as bad as him with her mental issues makes it hard for her to deal with. I use to do everything around the house and wake the boys up for school and get them ready. I got tired of fighting with them and then being labelled an asshole for my efforts. I decided Niki would have to get up and deal with them now. I look after my girls and stay somewhat calmer. :)

My heart goes out to you, Aldege. This can't be good for your girls to be around. I hope you can somehow keep them separate from all this and keep them from thinking this is how one is supposed to behave. My daughter is a screamer and her kids (all adults now) are also. No fun.

Thx Norma. No it's not good for them but they love their brothers and A-J can be a wonderful brother to them at times. :)

I am always glad to see an Aldege puzzle I haven’t solved before. This one was a bit tricky at first. I was going to guess it was a skier face planted in the snow.

I see a rock with eyes being struck by lightning that's coming out of a thick, dark cloud.
