Waiting and waiting...2016 mommies-to-be!

[aidensxmomma]

I liked the Mocking Jay Part II as well, although I was a little disappointed with it. I expected a lot more and it just didn't quite deliver it for me. However, I am one of those people - I'm an avid reader and I'm a terrible person to watch movies based on books with. I typically complain and compare the entire time. . I tried really hard not to do that with the Hunger Games movies and I watch the first and second ones all the time. I just had a harder time with the Mockingjay movies. But if I look past comparing it with the book, it was good.

No big plans for me this weekend. Just plan on hanging out at home with the kids and clean and switch all their clothes out for winter clothes. It's a little overdue, but the weather surprisingly didn't get too cold until the last two weeks. Before that we were still getting temps of up to 60 to 70 degrees so I didn't think they needed their long sleeve shirts yet. Now that its consistently been in the 40s, and the forecast for next week is the same, it's time to break out the winter clothes. Oh, and I have to study for my college placement tests.

Next week is when things start to get busy. Monday my son has an appointment early in the morning, then I have my placement test, and after school Mady has girl scouts. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday my kids have off school and we're going up to see family for Thanksgiving. I'll be busy, but hopefully fun.

What are everyone else's plans for Thanksgiving?

I am going out with a friend on Saturday. I am super excited as it will just be us and no kids or husbands.

Outside of that I am going to be packing, cleaning and shopping in preparation for our trip. I only have two work days next week so I'm looking forward to that.

Tonight my other half and I are going to the casino for a much needed night out. DS was sick the last couple weeks and cutting molars. Now that he's better my mom offered to babysit! Then Sunday we have my aunts birthday dinner! Today during the day I need to go to my grandmas to do some laundry because our dryer broke and the new one won't be here until November 30th!

I did compare it to the books too and I'm glad it didn't change too much from the book.

Here's the picture of my grandma and I when I was a baby.

Is there a resemblance between Roxy and I? Or am I seeing things?

How was everyone's weekend? Mine was good went to visit my grandma yesterday and had cake for my aunt's birthday.It was really good!!!!!

On Saturday it snowed here but didn't get much just an inch-2 inches.

My weekend was good. I got to catch up with a friend on Saturday. I also did some baking and made fudge. Sunday was a lazy day as I didn't feel good.

Tomorrow is my last day of work for the week. I am very excited. However, we have a winter storm warning ethnic 5-8 inches of snow predicted. So I am not sure how that will impact going to my dad's.

Today I bought Roxy three different Christmas gifts.One is a giraffe that crinkles,has a mirror,rattles and it attaches to a car seat or stroller.The second one is a teether that you cool in a fridge instead of putting it in the freezer.The last one is a rattle with little beads in it and I think Roxy will like it.Actually I think she'll like all of them.

I'm thinking of buying her one more gift which one be a book.Does anyone know any good first baby books? At Chapters last week I saw ones that babies can feel the book and first Christmas books.There's so many baby books in the stores.

Christian likes books that rhyme or are silly when you read them. I have found dr. Suess to be a hit. By really he likes just about anything that has short sentences and pictures.

I am controlling myself this year. My dd is two and has toys flowing out of the box.

Thanks Tara. I've been enjoying way to much homemade candy. I made it to take to my dad's but we aren't going due to a severe winter storm. So now I'm trying to get rid of it.

 

[tverb84]

What kind of candy? On Monday I'm going to make peanut butter cookies with m&m's in it for the Christmas party at the blood clinic.I'll probably have a few to taste test them.

 

[krissie328]

I made fudge, vanilla fudge, caramel, English tofee, and peanut brittle.

 

[aidensxmomma]

[Ashley1021]

We had a great thanksgiving with family! Now trying to get in the Christmas spirit! Taking our ds to santaland on Sunday. It's basically a giant Santas workshop!

We had a really good Thanksgiving, we're at my dad's house right now and going home Sunday. We had Thanksgiving dinner with my parents and grandparents. It was really nice to see them again. We also saw my other grandparents and my aunt and uncle the other day. My step-mom and I did some shopping today and I found a couple of sweaters for me and a bunch of clothes for Thea as well as a cute outfit for DS and a sweater for DH.

I hope that you're all doing well. 2016 is so close now!
