Peek Week: THURSDAY...it's PRACTICALLY Friday!

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
