well, i know that i have been pretty bad in the blogging department lately...
truth be told, i have been a little bit of a grinch this year, but i seem to be coming out of that.
i had a few things make me smile today...
1. listening to Piper read. she is picking it up sooo quickly.
2. making cookies for santa with the girls.
3. reagan giving mike a spelling quiz after dinner. she even checked his paper. too cute.
4. a peppermint mocha (thanks Kelly!)
5. the boy at starbucks said "merry christmas" and it was sincere. it actually threw me a bit and i stuttered. lame. but that was the first time i have heard that from a "service" person this year. everything is so politically correct nowadays.
6. my husband. he is the best. (gag. i know.)
there has been so much going on...
--i have made a TON of gifts this year. some zippered pouches, aprons, a jewlery box for piper (shh), coffee sleeves...
--I have done a few DT projects (to be posted)
--got a few projects picked up for publication (exciting!)
--mother nature dumped on us last weekend! we got like 2 feet of snow!
the kids AND the dogs loved it. me? not so much. lots of shoveling.
we played LOTS of Go Fish...
we hung out in our jammies, baked cookies, listened to christmas music, i scrapped, the kids did lots of fighting, and there was not NEARLY enough napping! but the sleeping in made up for it.
tomorrow... over the river and through the woods to grandfather's house we go! I can't wait! lots of good food, and my grandpa, i can't wait to give him a squeeze.
then santa comes, and we feast again! breakfast and dinner at our house on Christmas day. we don't have to go anywhere, and we get to visit with Mike's family and mine! sweet deal huh? we just have to provide the food.
i hope that everyone has a very happy and safe holiday.
Merry Christmas!!!
