What an insane week this has been. Dave's schedule has been off the charts, or should I say "maps". He had over 20 hours of flight maps to do, so he has been logging in some long hours. As a result, I have had to do the entire homefront show myself, which has been a juggling act. The kids are tired this week too-we didn't get home until 2130 last night-way late for JR and Noni for sure, and late for Mimi the nighthawk even. Tonight we are taking it easy, even though Mimi has gymnastics for 4 hours, the rest of us are staying in and having a movie night.
I have been trying to get baking in too, I baked pumpkin cookies with caramel icing, banana and blueberry muffins, and oatmeal peanut butter cookies are baking right now. Cookies are a cinch since I got my patisse mat, zero sticking and virtually no cleanup. Parchment still has its place, but this is better.
The kids were beside themselves that the Bay finally has its holiday section mainly put together. JR was shouting "trees, trees!" and of course "oooh balls!" What got me though was him squealing and pointing and saying santa. He couldn't remember from last year, although he loved sitting on santa's knee last holiday, so who knows. They did not want to leave. I found a number of glass ornaments I liked(I know, brave). I had some glass ones on the tree last year, and only one breakage. I am hoping the other trees will deter him from the largest one. I said I am hoping!! I am trying not to think too much about Christmas yet, as we still have Halloween to do. Noni just got invited to a Halloween party, on the day after we had been tentatively planning ours! Two of the kids are the same ones we are inviting, but some others are different, so hopefully it all works. I need to firm up my plans, soon.
I got called for two jobs which I said no to, as they were both full time. What a pain!
