The List Was Long

Today I really did not feel like going shopping for all of the Christmas necessities, but the weather is supposed to turn cold and yucky tomorrow, so today had to be the day. The boys and I made it to Walgreens and to Wal-Mart and enjoyed the 60 degree weather, while we could. I only forgot one thing at the store, Dylan’s Sweet Potato Puffs. I think my hubby is finishing up the Christmas shopping tomorrow, so I’ll have to have him pick those up. Dylan loves them, and he will be pretty grumpy if we run out of them.

I did get all of the supplies for Christmas Dinner, and 2 new Transition Sippy Cups for Dylan. He has been biting Mommy (ouch), so he may be ready to be weaned. Here is the problem: he isn’t too fond of a bottle, or even formula, so this is going to be tough.  He likes to play with his new cup, but he makes the yuckiest face if he takes a sip. What to do 😉

What a Long Night

Last night was one of those nights. Thade was up late and Dylan was up on the hour.  I think Dylan is having teething troubles, and today I am completely wiped out. I had such high hopes of getting a few things accomplished today, but my mind is so starved for sleep, that I can’t seem to figure out what to do or where to start on all of the tasks.

There are a few good sales going on at Walgreens and Dillons this week, I bet I could find some pretty good deals on Christmas dinner supplies. I don’t know if I have the energy to go and shop though.

How I wish I could fit in a long nap 😉

A Baker’s Dozen

Cookie Day is finally here! Thade is pretty excited, and me too. I can’t wait to get to baking! Today I’m baking at least 12 dozen cookies, but I’ll probably bake 14-15 dozen so we can have some for weekend snacking. I’ll be baking or no-baking:

  • Coconut Macaroons
  • No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies (Thade’s favorite)
  • Wedding Cake Cookies
  • Candy Bar Cookies (James favorite)
  • Double Chocolate M&M Cookies (might be Thade’s new favorite)

I’ll be freezing the extra dough (not the macaroons though) and baking again right before Christmas. I think I need another cup of coffee to get me started.

We also have a few chores and errands to do today. So here is what else we have planned for today:

  • Assemble 4 Christmas Cookie Plates to deliver tomorrow
  • Pick-up new Prescription at Dr’s office
  • Go to Walgreens (maybe)
  • Visit Hubby at work (afternoon)
  • Clean the dining room table
  • Empty Upstairs Waste Baskets
  • Empty Downstairs Waste Baskets
  • Take out the trash, and take trash cans to the alley

Yeah I definitely need another cup of coffee, or maybe two 😉

We Have Pictures!!!

Thanks again to my Mom for helping out today. We all had a fun day, and we finally got the Christmas pictures picked up and home 🙂 Thank goodness, now it is time to cut them, and get them into the Christmas cards.

The boys were pretty good today too, we had lots of errands to do. We had to go and get a tail light fixed on hubby’s car, a trip to visit hubby at work, Wal-Mart (out of town) to pick up the pictures, Mc Donald’s for a snack and to feed Dylan, and then to the gas station for some M&M’s.  Thade had been so good, so we all split a bag of Shrek Themed M&M’s so good.

I even got a little bit of cleaning in, but there is always more that needs to be done. By the time that we made it back into town I decided not to mess up the kitchen one more time, and just call out for Pizza. Thade was thrilled 🙂 me too, no dishes 😉

I’m off to a Late Start

It must be the Holiday stress that has gotten to me, the last few days I just haven’t been feeling too well. I had plans to wake up early and start in on the cleaning, but Dylan decided to sleep in, and so did I. It is very rare that he sleeps late, so I thought I should rest while I could. My Mom is off work today, and she is on her way up to help with the kiddos, while I clean. I’m making her yummy lunch in trade for the babysitting 😉

I’m going to try and get a jump start on cleaning the foyer while she is here, and I hope to get the kitchen in better shape too. The weather is also warming up a bit so I think I will get the pictures today too, if the roads are better. There is lots to be done, but I think lunch will have to happen first, I’m starving…
