The snow has started falling outside. It is pretty, but I hope it doesn’t stick around too long. I’m a terrible snow driver, and I’m planning a day out of town on Friday. Thade is so excited about the snow, he loves it. I guess we’ll have to get on his new coat and go play for a little bit.
I’m midway through my marathon of cooking, and James has been busy finishing painting projects around the house. With the weather turning yucky it is a good day to stay in and get some projects finished.
I’m glad we picked up the winter coat for Thade yesterday, it is freezing today. It looks like snow could be on the way, and soon. We have had the strangest weather around here, last night I was out talking with my neighbor and it was 70 degrees, today it is raining and only 38.
My hubby is off work until Monday! I hope he has a nice vacation and a restful break from work. Today I’m going to be making homemade snacks, stocking the freezer, and trying not to go out unless I have to. Here is what I’ll be making today:
I think I’m going to be in the kitchen all day 😉 It will be fun, and I have Play-Doh to keep Thade busy and helping out too.
Well I almost got all of the errands run today, I didn’t get to Walgreens. I forgot to pack along the Snugli, and Walgreens carts are a little small for a toddler and a car seat. Oh well we’ll go out tomorrow when the kiddos are going stir crazy at home.
I did get the Wal-Mart run accomplished, and Thade found a nice Winter coat. It seemed a little funny buying one today, the weather was so nice. It will come in handy tomorrow when it is 44 and cold.
I found a nice white shirt for Thade to wear for the Christmas picture, lets see how long it stays clean 😉 I also picked up a little blue fleece zip-up jacket for Dylan to wear in the picture too. I tried to find items that would look nice for Christmas pictures, but they could wear again for other occasions.
On my block the Christmas decorating has begun, but not at my house just yet. Today I have already seen two houses on our block that are completely decorated. When I went out to fix our flag on the flag-pole my neighbor was up on a ladder hanging lights in some pretty gusty winds. Man they are on top of decorating. My tree is still in hiding, and I think I might have the ornaments in the utility room, maybe. And just where did I hide the wreath, and the ornaments for the upstairs tree?
I haven’t even thought about the outdoors, and I keep it pretty simple when it comes to decorating indoors. There is one tree downstairs, one upstairs in the boys room, and maybe a wreath. Sounds pretty sad. This year I’m going to do better, I hope…
How are you decorating for the holidays? Do you decorate outdoors too? Any suggestions to make Nico’s home a little more jolly for the holidays would be greatly appreciated 🙂
Today we are out to run a few errands, and the weather is perfect. It is supposed to be 74 today, but only 44 tomorrow. Better get everything done today! Here is the plan:
I wish the warmer weather would stick around just a little longer 😉
