1. We’re having this little man’s first birthday party on Saturday. I’m kind of in shock over the whole thing. Ignore the pedal pusher pants. They’re too small, lol!
2. On Saturday, Josh and I did some Christmas shopping for the girls while they were at a Gingerbread House making party with their friends. I had my $10 Birthday rewards from Cost Plus to use (because it’s my Birthday month). So, I got this awesome cake stand, and with the additional 25% off in the store, I payed a whopping $1.24 for it! If you haven’t signed up for the World Market Explorer Rewards, you should! Here’s the link!
3. Funny story – last Wednesday, Josh went to take the kids to Awana so I could go to the gym. He could not figure out how to get the parking brake off. He thought something was wrong with my car, but I didn’t know that he hadn’t actually tried to use the parking brake handle. So, I went out there and released the parking brake and asked him if he even tried the lever. Nope! He completely forgot it was even there, and I did a little victory dance celebrating my car smarts!
4. I ordered Christian the cutest onesie for his birthday. I’m hoping it gets here in time. The Etsy seller was super nice and said it should be here by Friday, so I’m crossing my fingers it is.
5. Josh and I were saying last night while we were watching “The West Wing” that we are too good. We don’t keep snacks in the house. No junk food, crackers, or chips. I stole a few pieces of Halloween candy from Eden’s bag since she still has a little bit left, had some tea, and Josh ate his guilty pleasure snack of toast with peanut butter and chocolate chips. I think in the end, I ate fewer calories than he did, lol!
6. We finally decked the halls at our house, and it was Grace’s turn to put the star on the tree this year. Next year, I bet Christian will have the honor of doing it.
7. Have you seen these Dark Chocolate Chunk Popovers from How Sweet Eats? I don’t have a popover pan, but I saw one at Cost Plus and really debated about buying it. I’m wishing I would have bought the popover pan now too, lol!
8. Today is my brother in love’s birthday! Happy Birthday, Travis! I really wish we could all be together and celebrate!!!
9. White Collar Season 4 just hit Netflix! YES! And is anyone watching Sleepy Hollow? Josh thinks we might want to give it a try, but I don’t hear a lot of people talking about it. The Blacklist is still my favorite new show. It’s the kind of mystery/crime/thriller that I can get into.
10. What is the most recent Christmas movie you’ve watched lately? We watched the Family Man on Saturday. Love love love that movie.
