Making Gingerbread Houses this weekend. Each of the four girls decorated one and Kari and I decorated the fifth one. It is the North Pole village!
Bailey with his elephant. We are huge fans of these unstuffed plush toys for dogs. Bailey has always loved plush toys but ate the stuffing out of them within a day. It is cute to watch him with the elephant though because he carries it everywhere like a security item.
We went to Disney on Ice several weeks ago and had wonderful seats. We were on the second row so we were right in front of all of the action. The girls loved being so close and I have to admit that it was pretty nice.
I had a kidney stone at the time of Pumpkin Pie's birthday. We made her a cake but the decorative icing I bought for it ended up being a clear yellow so it did not show up well (or look that well but I am not a cake decorator). Sweet Pea chose a cheesecake for her birthday, which we bought because I have no idea how to make cheesecake. Pumpkin Pie chose doughnuts to take to school and Sweet Pea chose mini-cupcakes.
We also had to make a shopping trip the week after Pumpkin Pie's birthday. In the matter of several weeks, she managed to outgrow nearly everything she had for the winter. We bought Sweet Pea a couple of things too just so she wouldn't feel quite so left out with always getting the hand-me-downs.
The weekend before last, we went to eat with my best friend and her family. I love Red Lobster!!! Afterward, we did a little shopping.
Last weekend, we went ice skating with our best friends. We had a great time but those ice skates can hurt your feet.
This weekend, we had Thanksgiving dinner with our best friends. My Papaw is in the hospital again with pneumonia so we are not sure about our family Thanksgiving. I was so looking forward to it too...biscuits, gravy, fried chicken, country ham, mashed potatoes, okra, spaghetti with tomato juice...my Mamaw has me spoiled (and overweight!).
I have over half of my Christmas shopping done and I am pretty sure that I will be doing the majority of the rest of it online because I have had "shopping rage". People can be so rude during the holidays, or any other time of year for that matter but it seems to be worse right now with more people already coming out to shop. My mouth tends to get me in trouble and it would be better for the world if I stay home and not be so rude to others.
