We are really on the countdown now. We are ready. Our gifts are all under Autumn's tree. I wanted to make cookies today but we realized our grocery order, with ingredients, is slated for 7pm pick-up, not 7am, like we were thinking. So hopefully I will have time to make cookies tomorrow.
We had a blast yesterday with the baby. I think we're teething so she was a little fussy at first, but a bath and clean diaper seemed to make her happy. Sometimes I feel like Autumn has left us her very best doll to play with - unsupervised. I dressed her up in a cute little dress, ala 60's style, that my sister gave her. And Bill styled her wispy little hair. Then we played a rousing game of Peek-a-boo which tired us all out!
Today we're going to clean the fridge/freezer and wash all our pet bedding. I'll probably finish my jigsaw puzzle. Feels strange not to be sewing on something, but on the other hand, it's nice to do other things, and not have to live around all my sewing set up in our small living space.
TINA - yay for finishing up the last of the quilts! Whew! I knew you could do it, but I wasn't sure YOU knew it! Bet you're feeling good to have that all done.
BECCA - sounds like if Frankie isn't walking by herself yet, she soon will be! It's an exciting time! When will you get to see her again? I think she is 2 weeks older than Amara isn't she? Amara wants to walk, but she's not quite ready - She's 8-1/2 mos now. I'm predicting 10 mos.
CAROL - you have such a nice holiday weekend planned. I kind of want to go with you to your brother's!
My favorite holiday meal is also turkey breast and mashed potatoes. But this year it's going to be Italian on Christmas Eve and brunch on Christmas Day. I often forget to add the tomatoes to my soups. Not sure why. Maybe subconciously I don't want them in my soup!
And speaking of soup - I have a large cooked chicken breast so I plan to shred it for a small pot of soup tonite. With lots of veggies and orzo.
What's the plan at your house for tonite?
