For Today, October 8th...
Outside my window...It is quiet. After two nights of insomnia and poor sleep, Vann and I went to bed at 10 pm sharp last night...it feels good to be rested and up before everyone else...
I am thinking...that time passes so quickly.
I am thankful for...the opportunity to be able to stay at home with my kids.
From the kitchen...Braised Chicken and Vegetables from the crockpot today! Last night I made a Halloween funfetti cake. Let me just say, it is far easier to make a cake out of the box than from scratch...but I'm sure all of you know that already. Just three ingredients?? THIS I can do!
I am wearing...my pj's.
I am creating...an updated address list for our baby announcements. We are taking the plunge and doing labels this time instead of writing them all out...I know, a novel idea, right??
I am going...to meet Ms. Lauren and Georgia for a coffee/tea date and some window shopping on Armitage. I am TRYING to be good about buying too far ahead for the holidays. Part of the fun is getting to shop when it's festive out, and I really want to wait until November to do most of it.
I am reading...still nada.
I am hoping...that I score some great deals at the big St. Alphonsus kid's consignment sale this weekend! Our tradition is to get there super-early and be the first people in line!!
Around the house...it looks like a bomb blew up. It usually takes us a week to unpack from a vacation. Not too mention the mounds of laundry that need to be done...winter coats, etc. that need to be brought up from storage...summer clothes put away...lots to do this weekend!!
A few plans for the rest of the week: Vann has Charlie on Saturday so I can hit the sale and then he and a friend are picking up our new chair, yay!!!! Fingers crossed that our cats will leave it alone...Marathon Sunday Vann is going to cheer on a co-worker and Charlie and I will stay home to get some things done around here...and then Monday, Vann has the day off!!
Here is a picture I am sharing...Two Peas in a Pod...
