I realized today that I've been shamefully bad about updating this blog so, here's a quick recap a few things I've missed: My mom came to visit at the end of September. It was awesome to have her here and we did some fun things like shopping and going to one of the local apple orchards.
And then we made some delicious pie with the apples we got. Yum!
Next comes Halloween & my birthday. We carved a pumpkin and then made some wonderful chicken cordon bleu for my birthday dinner. It was delicious.
Thanksgiving: We couldn't visit family this year and when I found out I was pretty disappointed. This is the first year that I haven't been able to spend it with my family. So, we decided to make our own Thanksgiving meal and set up our Christmas tree like my family does. It turned out well and we had a nice day together.
Here's Joey carving his first turkey. He did a really good job.
Here's the biggest, cheapest tree I could find. It's 6' tall and was only $20! I will admit that it looks a little sad by itself but, I really wanted a tree so, I'm happy.
Plus, it looks a lot better all decorated. We--well, mostly I--made almost all of the ornaments on the tree. I crocheted the snowflake garland as well. I think that it turned out really well.
Happy Holidays!
Oh yeah, and I got a part-time in-the-mean-time-job at one of the other pre-school centers of the company that my husband works for. I'm a substitute. It's good enough to hold me over until something in my field opens up. Who knows, maybe the experience will help me in some unforeseen way.
