Watching the kids play in the falling snow in our backyard.
Collecting leaves in the canyon.
Hanging out with
my sister while the older
cousins entertain the littler kids (Thanks Rachel and Lucy!!!) so we could...
...take pics of Baby M (her name is not a secret...I just can't spell it).
Making apple crisp from apples my gpa grew in his back yard.
Getting stuff done while the kids play with all the toys that came with the house. (We love this place we are renting!)
Finding new songs to buy on iTunes to make my treadmill workout fun ('SOS' by Rihanna is my new fav...keeps me moving) and being so happy that our house has a treadmill...how lucky!
Carving a pumpkin with Tyler and roasting pumpkin seeds.
Finding Talmage a Ninja costume.
Spending hours scouring
name blogs and other resources on behalf of
Sam and Kacie's bebecita who will be arriving on TUESDAY...still looking. I am obsessed and can't wait until they pick a name!
Making some homemade gifts for the unnamed child. (pictures to come)
Shopping the 50% off Clearance Sale at Old Navy...Sydney now has some winter clothes.
Designing a bday party invite for my gpa's 95th bday. (I found out that as a general practice doc he delivered over 2,000 babies!)
Keeping busy while Tyler is in Bountiful or Utah County or on the phone for long conference calls on his iphone. (and deciding I want an iphone).
Being glad I don't have to obsess about decorating since I'm living in someone else's home.
Negotiating two offers on our home and learning that it is against the religious beliefs of some people to pay interest so their cash offer can go no higher (the house is still on the market...we are holding out for a higher offer)
Starting on designing a logo for a local beauty salon.
Finished listening to
The Help (and now I have a southern drawl).
Trying out the bread maker that came with the house (the owners left all their kitchen stuff and they have lots of great toys).
Thinking about getting back into the couponing game. (
PYP is great out here)
Wishing I would have shampooed the carpets in our car before it got cold. (They are really really bad.)
Realizing I have a lot of photo shoots to do if the 2010 Calendar is going to happen (the last calendar I did is
here)
Thinking I really need to call Shriner's Hospital to get an appointment for Talmage (he has some scoliosis that needs intervention) but I keep putting it off. Maybe I am in denial about this.
Planning our Christmas gift giving.
Thinking about doing Spanish pre-school for my kids.
Discovering and reading up on
DSPS and realizing that my night owl tendencies have a name and hopefully some solutions.
Thinking that
this is the coolest bookcase.
Thinking I have a really great family and am grateful that I have the opportunity to live close to them...it's been a long time.
And...getting behind on all of that because I am doing this.
:)
