I got to see Stephanie!

Stephanie, Sabrina and Donna stopped by Steve last night, which was a wonderful visit! I still am so excited to show off the digs and the cats decided Donna was super awesome. It was a lot of fun being able to hang out and chit chat while the kids all played downstairs. We are planning a day of game playing and movie watching soon. The plan as of now is next Friday, but there may be some work snafus that will keep that from becoming a reality. We will figure out a time as I will make it our mission!

We went through multiple crates of books yesterday, which produced about 3 to go to Savers. I was able to also find a handful of books to take to Mrs. Senechal for her book exchange. I put out the kids’ books onto the shelves in the book nook. I need a better shelf there as the tiny one we have, although super cute, isn’t practical for the sizing of most of our books. I would like to find something else, even if it ends up just putting up some boards to make into shelves without the restrictions of a cased in shelving unit. I also want to start looking for something cool for the living room for my books I want to display. It won’t go up until after the holidays since I will be putting it where the tree is.

I think I will let Ken handle homework again today and I will head out to Old Navy for some PJ’s for the boys. It will be a good Santa present for sure. I still would like to pick up something else for Bobby from Dax since I think I have two unique presents for Dax along with something from Bobby to him. I have two unique presents for Bobby which means I need one small thing for him from his brother.

While I am out, I may need to hit up the thrift stores for an ugly sweater. There is the ugly sweater contest tomorrow at work and although I had not planned on doing anything, my people here kind of expect my creativity to shine through. I think I can pull off something if I just put a little effort into it. I don’t expect to win, but at least I can be creative, right?

Today looks to be pleasant with Trusty gone until noon thirty. I am currently on the quest for another PDF book I would like to read. I have one in mind, but have had difficulty finding it, which is frustrating. I recognize that not all books are available as pirated copies, and honestly, if the book is fantastic, I have no problem paying for it. I just want a PDF copy so I can read it at work. LOL!

I know Ken didn’t enjoy it, but Dax and I sure did. I found a stack of old pictures in the book crates of the boys when they were babies. We played “which kid is this?” Turns out, Dax is better at identifying his and Bobby’s picture than Ken is. It made me laugh. LOL!
