Package Christmas Cookies, and Open a Christmas Book
We made an unplanned trip up to Great Mom-O’s house last night, so we took care of yesterday’s advent activity when Lydia got home from school today. We prepared our cookies from Saturday for delivering to neighbors and designed a few cards to go with them. The plan is (spoiler alert!) to deliver the cookies tomorrow for our 12/12/12 advent activity.
I was home with Hank and Elvis today because Elvis has croup and an ear infection and Brandon worked in Cleveland. It was nice to get a few household chores done while taking care of the kiddos. I made a yummy vegetable soup, roast chicken legs, roasted carrots, and steamed broccoli. The kids opted out of the soup– I think they’ve grown tired of soup– but oh, it was so good! I am already looking forward to lunch tomorrow.
I got a little more work done on Christmas presents today too aaaaand I ordered my books for my first semester in the MFA program. That’s right, folks, Sarah is jumping on the MFA train at Ashland, in nonfiction. I’m excited and nervous about whether I’ll actually be able to keep up. We’ll see how the spring goes.
Before putting Henry to bed, we opened up a new Christmas book, The Nutcracker, which we read together after I laid Henry down in his crib. Don’t tell the kiddos, but I’m hoping to track down a Nutcracker to wrap up for Christmas morning, so if you know of a place near Ashland to get a nice one, I’m in the market!
That’s all for tonight, friends. Two weeks until Christmas!
