I am thinking today is going to be a low key day. We are supposed to get a little bit of snow. I am hoping some house cleaning and grocery shopping will get done. Need to get the house ready for a birthday party next weekend.

We lost power at 4am. When M got up we loaded up and are at my dad's. He's only 10 minutes away thankfully. Roads weren't that bad and I drive a Subaru. Still no estimate on when we'll have power, really hoping it's by tonight, but I'm thankful we had a close place with power.

Sorry you are without power armpants. Glad you are warm and safe at your dad's. Fingers crossed that power is restored soon.

Gymnastics for all 3 kids this morning. Then we went out and bought toys to donate to Toys for Tots. I'm hoping to head over to the fire station later this afternoon to drop the toys off. Other than that this day has been all about cleaning.

Hi everyone! I need to catch up on what happened over the past week. I’ve been in Miami all week for work. It’s been fun but a lot of hard work (seriously physical labor— I’m so sore!) I go back home on Monday and I can’t wait. I miss Poppy!

Hi everyone! We had snow yesterday but it is the kind I like and didn't stick to the roads and I think it will melt quickly. Santa made an appearance at E's daycare Christmas party on Friday night and E loved it! We have our official visit with Santa next weekend at the fire dept party. E starts new daycare tomorrow, hoping the transition goes well. We have a gingerbread house making party tonight that should be fun. I went to a send off tea party yesterday for a sweet friend who is moving back to Australia. Lots going on but I'm lurking hard here like usual. amberlie good to see you more this week! armpants glad you can take in booarogue! Have fun! I'm so over work, ready to be off for the holidays but we have a super short break this year (thank you governor). We def still have a long to do list before the baby arrives!

We did nothing yesterday. Of course, today we are going to have to do the things we didn't do yesterday and are doing a Polar Express train ride tonight.

It IS 8 and I'm still in bed! I was up with E from about4-5 but this is still nice. Maybe DH could bring me a cup of coffee...oh, E is laying next to me sleeping but he never sleeps this late, it is weird.

OMG...DH just came up to tell me he spent a couple hours making a Christmas card on Shutterfly. I was all "ok, I was planning on doing it next weekend with a pic of E and Santa." But I said I appreciated his effort. Then he said they would be like $20 for 10 of them....then I said we'll we will need about 50. I usually just do them through Walgreens and get a good deal. So I guess we will end up with 2 versions?!

PSA if you have Amazon Prime, you can get a great deal on cards. Luckily I got to DH before he ordered some and found a deal for 60% off on Amazon. I got 50 cards including envelopes with return address on them for $15.90!
