Yesterday H & I took DD1 to her first movie theater experience: star wars. Just kidding. We saw The Good Dinosaur. It was not what I thought it'd be. Def not my favorite Disney/Pixar but there were some great parts and unbelievably realistic animation. She had a great time and we were literally the only people in the theater. It was nice to have some alone DD1 time again.
Then at night my whole immediate family and us went to something called Illumination at our Arboretum. It was really cool! Despite the cold I really enjoyed it. They light up the trees, lake, and fields. There are even interactive parts (lights responding to your voice and movement). DD1 loved it!
Today I'm not sure what we're doing. My sister is in town staying with us so we'll see.
PSA: bath & body works has $5 body care items today only. Great last minute gift ideas for friends, grab bags, teachers, or in my case family. And me!! I like snow kissed sugar bath gel
Date night tonight! Charity Star Wars showing (music school and cocktail hour before the movie) and a new babtsitter. Our usual girl is doing a rugby dinner tonight. It should be fun.
I've got to make up my empanada fillings today, since I've got to get them made tomorrow, I'm taking some to the kids' Christmas party Sunday and munching on them all day is our Christmas tradition. I've got a bunch of fillings to do: sweet potato, chicken and cheese, turkey, pork, beef and onion, and sweet corn.
And this weekend is decision time. If DH gets an offer from here, we'll look at it, but we're probably researched out at this point and just need to get on with it.

Not much to share here. I have four presents left to buy and I have zero motivation to go deal with the crowds. Ugh, this is what I get for waiting until last minute! Next year I WILL do better!

dreemkin, I'm "glad" it had good bits. I was 50/50 about it. It just didn't look funny at all Disney/Pixar needs to be funny right? But if the animation is good that should be redeeming feature! We'll hopefully go next week! Awesome about the lights!!! aggiebug, good luck with your preparations oh wait... i should probably do something too. Meh. I'll get to it Enjoy brunch! pitdigger, have fun on your date night!!! Very well deserved! kaydee0402, cummonnnnn you can do it! I still have ALL my xmas shopping to if that makes you feel better? hollydfromtn how's DS today?

Things here are getting better Had a whooooooole day lazing around sitting on my ass at home. Infection is getting better. Painkillers are amazing. Bleeding is getting less. Really looking forward to quality time with DH next week! We've had a rough patch but he's my best bud in the end I need to remember that!
Wishing everyone with holiday stress and packing and house stuff ETC all good things!
Hey yo! Singalong is over. Everything went well, and I'm about to be out tha door! Have to take my little man to have blood drawn for labs. I don't know how they do that with babies, and I'm not looking forward to finding out. Then I'm off for two glorious weeks of (hopefully) nothing! I'm excited to not get up at 5:15 for a while.
Yesterday was rough, which means last night was bad but I think LO's fever is gone. We normally go grocery shopping on Fridays but I think that might be too much for her today. I guess we'll just hang around the house.
Right now she staring at me while taking a poop and trying to pull her lovie from the crib. Lol.

I am glad you are starting to heal.
And I totally hear you on the rough patch. I love love love my husband but communication sucks right now and it suucks. I am hoping 20 hrs of forced time in the car is good for us

Ugh. DS just got over being sick a week and a half ago. I caught H's cold after being cold free for a week and now DS has the same cold. So much for breastmilk boosting immune function.

One of my girlfriends came over for lunch & stayed through supper, so that made me really happy. DS had a rough night but was pretty chipper today!
I'm irked tho because the place I brought DH's xmas gift "from DS" to get monogrammed didn't get it done this week like they said they would, and then closed early without warning today. Hopefully they'll have it on Monday.
Safe travels aggiebug ! I hope the forced car time together helps you and DH.
I'm just hanging at home tonight. LO is in bed, and DH is hosting his "open house" for the new shop they just put up at what we call the "main farm". Speaking of farm, I think B *just* realized yesterday that there are cows outside her bedroom window. Everytime I get her out of the crib now and open her curtains she squeals and bangs the window.
