I took Olivia out to get new winter boots on Monday. I was hoping to find old fashioned galoshes that fit over shoes, but alas, those are a thing of the past. We settled for bright pink rain boots. Afterwards we stopped to get ice cream to take home and share. As we left Coldstone, each holding a bowl of ice cream, Olivia turned sideways and shoved her little hip into the door to open it. It was super cute, which is why this otherwise uneventful story made it into the blog. :)
Number 21 on my 30 Before 30 list is nearly done. That's the one about completing three things from my projects list. I recently found a place where my list was written down, and was able to verify that I have finished a growth chart and Dominion dividers. I still intend to finish the Advent calendar and the music class, so I'm hoping it won't be too long before I can cross this one off.
The girls attended their first kids only birthday party on Tuesday. Elesha and her mom had the kids from the congregation over for an hour and fifteen minutes to celebrate Gideon's birthday. Now it's up to me to decide if this becomes a trend since we have the next two birthdays in line...
Look for a bonus post (Sound Bites!) on Wednesday.

Curious...what do you have planned for the Advent calendar?
ReplyDeleteI used Stephanie's embroidery machine to make the numbers 1-40 and a nativity scene (on old chasuble fabric!). My next step is to turn each of those pieces into pockets and arrange them nicely on another piece of fabric. Bryan and I have been brainstorming for inside the pockets. We're loosely following a Giving/Learning/Fun categorization to help us think of (and diversify) ideas. Eventually I think I'd like to have a bible verse or note about the saint of the day on each card, too.
