Guess what my hubby brought home today? Two huge 2008 Calendars, I love them, and him too 🙂 He got me one large desk-top calendar, and one to go on the wall. I’m so excited, because now I can start menu planning, and party planning for next year.

Get ready for Snow :)
I heard the dreaded words this morning, expect up to 6 inches of snow overnight. Time to go and stock up on supplies, just in case the snow hits. We have a busy day ahead of us, again.
Here is the plan for today:
- Pick up the Christmas Pictures!!!!!
- Go to the grocery store and stock up on de-icer
- Deliver the cookies to our Doctor and the Hospital
- Laundry (I have 5 loads waiting for me)
- Dishes ( I have way too many to do)
It looks like it is going to be a ling day. I hope that the boys will be good for Mommy today, as we have so many long tasks ahead of us 😉
Oatmeal Cookie Success!
Ever since we moved away from our beloved Panera Bread Co., we have really missed the yummy treats that we used to get there. My hubby loved their Nutty Oatmeal Cookies, and I have been searching for a recipe that would be just as delicious. We got out the trusty cookbooks and I found a recipe for White Chip Apricot Oatmeal Cookies by Hershey’s. My hubby isn’t a big fan of Apricots, and Thade isn’t the biggest fan of White Chocolate Chips so I omitted them both from the recipe, and hoped for the best.
The cookies were delicious even without the extra yummy chocolate chips and fruit. We ate them until we couldn’t eat another cookie. I’ll be making these again, and they might just make it on to the Christmas Cookie Plates. James loved them, so that is all that matters to me 🙂

How I hope the ice goes away soon 🙂 I’m ready to go and shop!
Yes! I beat the weather :)
This rarely happens to me, it seems that every time I’m out to go shop the nasty weather catches me. Today I actually ran all of my errands before the ice hit 🙂 James was off early today, and filled up my car, and brought home lunch too. I wasn’t feeling too well, darn migraine, so he picked up an iced coffee too. He is too sweet, and it really helped. We both decided that it was way too cold to get Dylan out, so he volunteered to stay home and watch the boys while I shopped.
I got by the Post Office, Walgreens, Wood’s, and it started sleeting just as I pulled into Wal-Mart. I shopped as quickly as I could, and headed on home. It is freezing outside, and it looks like snow is on its way. I got everything stocked up, just in case we get snowed in. I also picked up a few Christmas snacks for my stockpile, and two cute birthday cards for my super-sweet Sister-in-law. Her birthday is next week, so I had better get the cards in the mail soon.
I hope that everybody has a great weekend, and stays warm 🙂
