Thursday Evenings

Every Thursday evening, after I pick up Sweetpea from daycare, we stop b ye my Nan and Grandpa's and have a nice dinner and a chat. And of course, last but not least, a nice cuppa tea!!

I'm so glad that we live so close, and Sweetpea is able to spend so much time with my awesome family! Even now, as we speak, she's busy chewing on Nan's gold chain. What a lucky kid!!

No pictures for this post, maybe next time! :)

Getting Stuff Done

I can't say that I'm all that motivated to get stuff done around the house... I really enjoy playing, reading, bathing, napping, etc. with my Sweetpea, and I'm the first to admit that my house suffers for it!

But when I do want to take care of business, in the kitchen at least, I have a system in place that seems to do the trick; I've reorganized my island cupboard so that everything on the first two shelves is essentially baby safe, and by that I really just mean not breakable or spillable. Sweetpea loves to take everything off the shelves. She'll sit here for a half an hour or more as long as I keep refilling the shelves every once in a while.

Now if only I had a cupboard like this in every room!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

It was a very Christmasy weekend.

Yesterday, though the weather was beautiful, it really started to feel like Christmas is on its way.

We started out the day with one of my favorite Holiday traditions: Waiting in line for our KBCO Studio C cd. We got there at 10:00am and found line was moving pretty quick - even though the line was wrapped around the building. We got out of there by 11:30 with our discs in hand. This year was the 20th Anniversary of KBCO's studio C so, it was a special 2 disc volume. I'm only missing 5 or 6 discs out of the 20. I think SweetPea enjoyed their time in line, people watching and getting some fresh air. We did miss Berlin, as he was our usual company for the event.

Last night we continued in the Christmas spirit by getting out all of our decorations and putting up our tree. SweetPea likes the tree, but not as much as Chewy, who is glad to have another comfy spot to lay.

Sweetpea did enjoy the beads. Check out her military crawl.

This morning, I volunteered with the Humane Society for their annual Photos with Santa. I loved seeing everyone dressed up for their Holiday card pictures.

SweetPea and her dad met me for lunch at our favorite burger joint, The Mountain Sun, on Pearl Street. We enjoyed the very unseasonable weather walking on the mall and got coffees from the bookstore coffee shop. Unfortunately, we forgot our camera.

It was an all together perfect weekend except on our way home from Pearl St., something happened to the clutch of our care. Luckily, we were close enough to my car to get that, and get the other car to the Subaru dealership. We'll find out what's wrong with in tomorrow.

For those of you who were persistant enough to read this post till the end, here's another video of Sweetpea chasing after her favorite would-be toy: Chewy! When she can really crawl, he's going to be in trouble... or maybe she will!
