Fun weekend (#16)

Day 16: Sunday November 28th, 2010

Top: F21 2010; Skirt: Purple layered, J Crew 2010 (bought at Downeast Outfitters for $20); Shoes: Target 2008

This picture makes my leg look stumpy from the skirt. But it only actually goes down to my calves. Really tea length skirt. It really is a flattering skirt. But it is the best picture we got from the day.

Merry Christmas to us!

We've been contemplating getting one for a while. Thinking we would get one as our christmas present to each other. And we wandered around Best Buy friday morning and saw that it was going for $170 we couldn't get it out of our minds. So saturday night we went on a whim and bought it. And Derek loves Mario, so we went for the red one. Jonah likes to play with the nunchuk and it makes him feel like he's playing along too.

Cheesecake with ginger crust for saturday Thanksgiving feast

Catching up

Hey guys! I've been super busy with the holiday weekend, helping make food for the 2 Thanksgivings we had. One thursday with good friends, and one again today with Derek's dad's side of the family. Making cheesecake, cake, green bean casserole (twice), and a turkey. Going to a few Black Friday Deals. New shoes for Jonah, Graywhale for Derek, Michael's for me. I got myself lots and lots of yarn which I've been making hats out of. But in all this I've been getting dressed up, using my items and feeling good.

Happy Thanksgiving from Jonah!

Rough days...

...deserve a treat.

I haven't mentioned this yet, but I am on my no sweets diet this season again. I started the beginning of the month and have already had my 2 treat days of the month. But after today, I needed something. I agreed to baby-sit for a woman in my ward today. She has a little girl around 7 or 8 months. To tell you the truth I'm not entirely sure how old she is. I also needed to make a cheesecake for Derek's birthday tomorrow. Which is what is pictured above (recipe here) so yummy! It was fine when she first got here, but then she got upset, so I had to pick her up. Jonah got jealous and started screaming for me too. They would feed off of each other's sadness so I just had to hold both of them and walk around, because the little girl didn't like it when I sat down. I was only supposed to watch her from 2:30-4:30 PM. Her mom dropped her off a little after 2 and didn't get back until 6. This was her first work meeting, and she told me she might be a little late. They both fell asleep and Jonah just kept getting warmer and warmer. I think he might be getting sick. Don't tell the mom! To sum it all up, it was not the experience I was expecting! So I cheated. It made me feel better. Now I need to set up for Derek's birthday tomorrow.
