Haven't gone to bed before 1am any day this week (this is reason # 5739 I hate your business trips) and this morning, it caught up with me. Got up early (had to) but didn't really feel like myself for a while. I was a slow starter, as they say.
Adele' asked me to take a picture of her. I just flung the camera her way and hit the shutter. Didn't hold it up to my face or anything. I think my eyes were still shut at that point, in fact.
I really like it, in a haunting sort of way.
Grandma and Grandpa picked up the three older children for their annual Christmas shopping trip leaving it just he and me.
Oops.
I mean HE and ME.
I didn't really want to, but I figured I should take advantage of their absence and get the last of the Christmas shopping done and stocking stuffers bought.
It is amazing how little you get accomplished in a day when you go shopping.
Remember when you asked if we had any more peanuts last week?
I was thinking of you.
The babe and I ate lunch at Wegmans where he ate food from the fresh foods and chinese bar and I ate half a burrito. He sat across from me and acted quite grown up about it.
He even insisted upon using a fork! THAT's a first.
By the car ride home he was toast.
So I did what any mother of four does with a car empty of (conscious) children~ I got myself an ice cream cone!
When the children came home, we ate supper and then got to work on cinnamon ornaments. It smells heavenly here.
I changed the sheets on our bed for when you come home. Nothing says welcome home more than fresh sheets. Unless I was on them. (REBECCA!)
And now I am going to turn on Bright Star and start wrapping presents because I know that tomorrow a nosy Newman (the NOSIEST) is coming and I don't want any surprises ruined.
I can't wait.
XOXO

Have fun!

Ice cream in December!? ok, as long as you share.
Thanks for the daily posts, I'm sure it was a lot of work. Now I don't feel like I missed everything.
