Wife, mother, laugh-er at very inopportune moments, and matchmaker. I am an excessive user of commas and exclamation marks. I once won March Madness despite knowing nothing about basketball, and I know how to find all the best Dunkin Donuts coupons. Clearly my talents are just endless.
a few highs and a few lows
We brought Annabelle to her own personal Disney World on Saturday- the electric hand dryers in the Home Depot bathroom.
She has never met a hand dryer she doesn’t love. Give her two at once and she’s in heaven.
Yesterday our church service was held outside. We’ve been back inside for several weeks, but it was a combined contemporary/traditional service and because of the stupid You Know What we couldn’t all be together inside. I wore jeans to church for the first time since March 23rd 2014, which was the Sunday before AB was born. I NEVER wear jeans to church but I thought the Lord wouldn’t mind, given that we were sitting in a parking lot surrounded by folding chairs. There was a family fall festival after church with inflatables and whatnot and Annabelle made it about 6 feet up the rock wall.
She felt like she had scaled Mount Everest. It reminded me of this scene from Frozen.
That evening we had new friends over. We’d only ever talked to them in Sunday school but they seemed to have good friend potential. I got up early to prepare the pot roast. I tried to seer it before I put it in the crockpot, but it was too big for the pan and I bent several utensils trying to turn it. Then I put it in the crockpot, turned it on low and walked away. An hour later, Christopher noticed that I hadn’t plugged in the crockpot.
As it turns out, cooking in Pioneer Woman pans does not make you Pioneer Woman herself.
there’s no room for us in our tree filled house
Last weekend we set up our Christmas trees. Sesame and I scoped out the trees at the garden store Friday morning then we all went back to pick one out in the evening. We set up our plaid and deer themed tree first. As we were putting it together I kept thinking how...
a little bitty tree for a little bitty girl
Last night we set up the first of our Christmas trees. It has exactly twice the number of decorations as last year. We put it up in Sesame's room. I was all this is so! fun! Best! day! ever! and she fluctuated between excitement and...
from here on out it will be Christmas all day, every day
Despite my best efforts, I've turned into a once a week blogger. I blame my poorly paying, time-sucking little boss. Ya talkin 'bout me? Throughout the month we wrote things we're thankful for on little paper leaves. I hung them on branches I collected in the backyard...
stayed tuned for my review of the new Star Wars movie
Last night, in a GREAT ACT of love and dedication to my marriage, I went with Christopher to see the new James Bond movie. This is the third year in a row we've gone to see a JB movie in the theater so I've learned how to make the movie viewing experience...
