We've been sneaking out of the house a few minutes early each morning to try and catch frost. It frosted outside one day, but hasn't frosted again. I will get a photo of with me in front of frosted snowflakes!
We're still working on presents, since xmas is only about 2 weeks away, and we get the white xmas tree this weekend. I am hoping to have more photos this weekend!

My host, Amelia, has a lot of toys. She introduced me to June and Gentleheart, her two lamb toys. Her childhood friend's mother passed away last year and June was named after her. She's a very pretty, soft, lamb. I have to confess that I stole a liss from her. Gentleheart (green) is a "carebear cousin" which is from an old 1980's cartoon. She's Amelia's favorite carebear cousin.
I also met Bessy the cow, Starshine (smaller snowman) and Holiday (bigger snowman).

Our host let me and Charles open one of her presents today. We found a bath toy in the bag! We named him German after all the German TV's that are visiting.
Me, Charles, and German got to eat some Flipz chocolate covered pretzels. We played with her new socks HA HA HA! We also played with her new little guns. She's been wanting a small gun to mod (turn into something Steampunk). Now she has three!
We had fun playing in with the presents. Amelia also says that we're going to put up the new xmas tree today too!

We decorated the Christmas Tree today. My host Amelia made all the ornaments herself, with the exception of a few sentimental ornaments. Tannen the Bedtime Bear ornament is one of the toys that lives here. I got to meet all of the xmas toys that live here too.
I posed in Jane's Hat, from the tv series Firefly. It's an old series that didn't last long, but they have a lot of fans.

The household decided to open presents early this year. They wanted plenty of time to play with thier presents over the weekend. Everyone in the house caught a terrible cold, so presents made everyone feel better too.
So, we toyvoyagers decided to open presents too! My host handmade me a vest and a scarf. It all fits nicely and is comfortable to lay in. My vest matches my color well (although a little darker than me) and the white scarf stands out in a good way.
Oh, and it's supposed to snow this weekend. We'll see!

Schnattchen and I went for some Mexican food at Los Vasqueros. We ate some tasty queso and a Chile Relleno dinner. We had a nice time.

I went shopping with my host and her husband today. We were primarily shopping for luggage. It wasn't too terribly exciting, but it was better than waiting around at the apartment!

We played with a bunch of Steampunk stuff and we had fun! They have a more western style steampunk here in Oklahoma. They like pistols, flintlocks, and the worn "old" look... poker cards... that sort of thing. It's pretty neat!

First, we had dinner at IHOP and then went to a Gabriel Iglesias show. He's a really funny comedian! We had a lot of fun. The show lasted almost two hours longer than it was supposed to. It was great!

I had fun celebrating Saint Patrick's Day in Bricktown (down town) Oklahoma City. My host says it's an Irish Holiday that they celebrate with getting drunk, listening to Irish music, and lots of green things and Irish flags.
We ate at Jazmo's, a cajun restaraunt - Black Magic Catfish! Oooo weee! It's blackened catfish topped with etouffee on top of dirty rice, and a side of fried ocra. It is SO GOOD! As a treat, we stopped into the Candy Factory. It's not really a factory, but they have a ton of candy there.
Then, we went for a long walk around the different lots where there was live music and green beer. We also enjoyed the wind blowing off the river. The white stuff in the water are petals from the peach trees. The peach trees smell awful, but they are so pretty!

Jefferson, Texas, United States - 31st March 2012
By: klubwerks
We went to a Steampunk event called Nightmare Machine. It was held in Jefferson Texas, which they say is the most haunted town in Texas. We were sitting in the vistors center with a frame photo on the wall fell and broke, and then a bunch of people walked in saying that the Steam Train derailed and they all had to walk back. Thankfully no one was hurt... unfortunately we didn't get to ride the train.
Still we had a lot of fun. We went camping out by a swamp lake at the Cypress Bayou RV Camp Grounds. We saw a lot of neat things around town. We even visited some of the stores. The town itself was pretty neat because it is one of the oldest towns in Texas.
And it was moth season, because there were a lot of moth caterpillars crawling around. We brought two of them home only to find a third stow away in a bag. One of them already made himself into a cocoon (we named him Jefferson). I can't wait to see what kind of moth he ends up being!

I wanted to let you know that I'm okay!
Sorry about not being in the photos, I just wanted to show you the storm that was moving in. We're in "Tornado Alley" and it's Tornado season right now. There was a very dangerous "super cell" storm that passed through Oklahoma this weekend. It's been all over the news. There were several dangerous tornadoes that killed 5 people (3 were children) and injured 29 others. As exciting and beautiful tornadoes are, they are deadly and very scarey!
Don't worry, we are okay in our area of Oklahoma. The winds got really strong out, but luckily the majority of the storm went Northwest of us.
