It’s a blustery day today, but I kind of like it! Of course, we’re cozy inside with no where to go (for a change) so it might not be so fun for those of you out and about.
We had an exciting week… we made the big move back down into the rest of the house! It’s pretty nice, but there’s still a bunch of stuff to do before everything is back in it’s usual place. Unfortunately, that might have to wait a bit while take some time off to enjoy LiliBee’s birthday and Thanksgiving. We’ve actually been spending most of our “free” time running all of the errands that were put off during the floor work.
I was “snack mom” at preschool last week. CareBear and I made pumpkin oatmeal bars for her class and the kids really loved them. Chris had an extra day off due to the holiday so he was able to tag along and see what preschool is all about, too! CareBear was excited to have him there while she was the special helper (the kids who bring the snacks get to have extra responsibilities) and had a great day.
We did a little window shopping yesterday (and birthday shopping… shhhhh) and ran into Santa Claus! It seems a little early to me but CareBear was fascinated. She went up to say hi and got to chat with him for a few minutes. He told her to be sure to pick up her toys and brush her teeth, which she talked about for the rest of the day. LiliBee decided to be shy.
Our big news this week, of course, is LiliBee’s birthday! She’s going to be two years old tomorrow… I can’t believe it. It doesn’t seem like that long ago that she was a tiny baby. She’s still pretty tiny, of course, but she’s a little girl now. She does so much by herself these days and gets really annoyed if we try to help. We’ve even had a couple of the famous “terrible two” tantrums! That’s kind of new for us since CareBear is more drama queen than tantrum thrower. Still, it’s amazing to watch them grow up and gain their individuality.
Other than birthday fun, we don’t have too much out of the ordinary planned for this week. LiliBee will be going to the doctor for her check up and shots, which I’m sure will go over well. And have to figure out what cake to make for the birthday girl… CareBear is pulling for chocolate, of course, but I think I might try something else.
