Ready?? (With pictures!)

So this is what MY Thanksgiving long weekend has consisted of :-)

First, our Thanksgiving meal. We had brisket, mashed potatos and asparagus. (And white grape juice)
I even got out our china and a table cloth and attempted to match Sam's high chair by throwing some Christmas fabric over it. :-)

She liked wearing her bow for the pictures...

After we ate lunch, we took our little girl to the park for some fun time. It was MUCH easier when daddy went with us. She loves to swing and recently discovered she loves the slide!

She was good about going down correctly, as long as she didn't get too excited and try to walk down the slide. Daddy did a dive once to catch her :-)

We got home just in time to take the homemade apple pie out of the oven. My first fruit pie to make ever and it was good :-)

Because it was a holiday, we let Samantha have her own small bowl of pie and ice cream. When she was done, this is what she did... stole from her daddy. We don't think she'll at all have mama's problem of a sweet tooth....nah...

Friday morning I painted a small jewlrey box for part of Sam's Christmas present. A little bright, but eh.

This morning Samantha got organized. She lined up all the shoes in the front hall on the steps and then decided her books needed to be lined up as well. It was a good distraction as mommy did this...

Made 2 kinds of chex mix and bagged it all for Christmas goodie bags! I also made cinnamon sugar walnuts a few days ago and bagged those this morning as well. My iBloom small group should enjoy tomorrow!

And then, because that wasn't enough, I made marzipan and covered it with almond bark and then expermented with the little almond bark left by coating pretzles and adding peanut butter chips. Mmmm

Oh and yesterday and today, I've been working in sections to steam clean our living room. Because it totally needed to be done. And I'm getting all antsy about this baby being born.

Nonnie better hurry here because Mama is ready for this boy to come OUT! :-D
