Too Sweet

One thing the girls look forward to every year is baking and frosting sugar cookies. It provides hours of messy entertainment followed by a good hour of cleaning, but hey it makes them happy. We made some cookies tonight for the parade tomorrow. We'll eat cookies and drink hot cocoa and hopefully stay warm!

Delay

It snowed on and off all night last night with no major accumulations. It got cold though. Like think Antarctica cold. The King called me this morning to tell me to check for delays due to the roads being so icy. I checked the computer, which took 15 minutes to type I was shaking and chattering so hard, with the heat on. Sure enough a 2 hour delay. I fell back into bed and fast! The girls slept until 8 and then they all got to eat breakfast together. Chiggie enjoyed the leisurely morning and I got a lot done before I even had to take her. The roads were slick. I saw several cars spinning out, but thankfully no accidents. I love snow during the Holidays!

This one's for you Elizabeth!










The girls all bundled up to take Chiggie to school this morning.

Counting Down

The girls are loving counting down the days until Christmas with candy! We wait for the King to get home, just to really build up the excitement. I can't believe it's already December 2nd.










Random Thoughts on a Wednesday

  • I typed random thoughts on a Tuesday at first. This week is flying by
  • It's snowing like crazy outside
  • The heat is on but it still feels freezing
  • I need to do some Christmas shopping
  • I'm excited for the parade this weekend
  • I hope it's not freezing
  • Boo is pulling all the books off of the shelf and I don't care because she's doing it quietly
  • I have had to "run" to the grocery store like 3 times already this week. I seriously need to make a better list this week
  • Chiggie looked so cute this morning all bundled up for school
  • Tea has fallen asleep looking at the wish book every night this week. It is adorable!
  • I cleaned the house yesterday but hate the maintenance part. I just want to freeze it clean.

Dancing

I emptied my memory card today and found these pictures I had completely forgotten about. They were actually taken before Thanksgiving even. Boo and this Santa are hilarious. On this particular morning they were "dancing." When she's about to do something she knows she shouldn't she actually turns him around so he can't see. It's hilarious!



Back to Normal

I am such a baby. I'll admit. Last week was fantastic. The King even had a 4 day weekend. Sweet bliss it was, it's now over. Now I have to do things like clean, cook real meals, and help with homework and stuff. Boo. The good news is we have a lot of fun stuff going on next month. The parade is this weekend. There's lots of cool stuff going on at Chiggie's school. Plus we'll do a lot of baking and eating always makes me feel better.
