Ok, so I'm jumping the gun a bit- its still 2 hours away, but I just wanted to say Happy Monday to all!

Did anybody do anything fun this weekend? Any big plans for today or this week?

I had a nice and relaxing 5 day weekend- I didn't do much of anything- I did do some laundry and dishes, but thats about it. It was nice to have no obligations- just relax and de-stress a bit!

I had a Pampered Chef show- it was a complete disaster, but a good learning experience to help me prepare better in the future!

I have jury duty today- lots of fun ahead, lol!

AND today is my H's first day on his new job!!! YAY for FT hours and benefits!

Tonight I plan to bake some cookies to prepare for my cookie decorating party next month (They can freeze up to 2 months in advance, so I figure I'd better get started now!)

Have an awesome day!

Very busy weekend! Spent time with friends and family. Cleaned like crazy! I didn't get to read at all, which bummed me out. But it was a good weekend!

Looking forward to dh coming home today and midnight showing of New Moon on Thursday!

Totally forgot to mention, on Saturday I was dropping my friend off and we drove past these antique shops and there were tons of people. They had a band and all these booths set up in an alley so we decided to stop. It was really cool. We went into one shop and we saw this really pretty nativity set. It was ceramic and hand made in "61". I asked how much it was and the lady told me $25! I couldn't believe. I was about to say, I'll take it but I thought that's too cheap there has to be something wrong with it. Turns out it was missing Mary! Of all the pieces to miss as well. No wonder it was $25. If it was missing a wise man or angel I would have snatched it up but nope, missing Mary.

Friday night, we went to Target and (of course) got another Christmas present for Sarah - this kid is SO SPOILED!   We then went to On the Border for dinner where she did really well!  When she wasn't eating she just sat there reading her Yo Gabba Gabba books.  
Saturday we had our pictures taken by Val out at Claremont Colleges.  She posted a sneak peak on her site...I can't wait to see the rest of them!  Thanks, Val!!
Saturday afternoon and evening we just hung out and watched TV and played with Sarah.  I made a new side dish - parmesan orzo - it was SO EASY and really yummy!
Yesterday I woke up with this stupid cold.  I hadn't gotten sick in SO LONG...guess I was due.  On top of the head cold, I had a stomach bug for most of the day.  Yeah, it was a good thing C and Sarah were at Yo Gabba Gabba...I was a hot mess!
Luckily today the stomach bug is gone but the head cold is worse. I've taken some Dayquil and have shmeared Vicks all over my face and chest (my mom's "home remedy").  I have Jr League Wednesday night and Bunco here at the house Thursday night so I NEED to get better FAST!
I hope everyone has a great day!

Happy almost Tuesday, lol!  Feel better soon Lori!

Our weekend was super busy, but overall good.

Saturday we were up at 4:30 and out the door by 5 for tailgating at USC for homecoming.  We've gone every year with Robert's frat since he started pharmacy school.  Everyone loved seeing the baby, as usual.  She had fun running around and her cuteness scored us some free tix to the game.  It was our first game and USC got their butts handed to them (which was why the weekend was overall good, not completely good).  

Sunday was Robert's birthday so we headed out to Disney to get his gift card.  We did a few rides (baby's favorites: Toy Story Mania and Small World) and watched the Christmas parade for the first time this season.  We had dinner at Wood Ranch and then headed home exhausted.
