We’re getting more and more of these chilly mornings lately, and more and more days in pants instead of shorts. And look how cute Addie’s turkey disguised as Elsa turned out from last night!
I actually felt like moving around a bit more today than I have most of the week, so I made myself my favorite egg-in-the-hole for breakfast, complete with a homemade cookie butter iced latte. And everything was super delicious.
I watched some tv and got started on yet another new-to-me puzzle. This is one I got from the puzzle swap a few months ago. I really like this True South brand, and this one is “Literary Locations,” so it’s all sorts of cute houses, hotels, mansions and even tree houses and ships from different books.
Had just a little bit left of my instant espresso powder, so I made another iced latte directly in the jar, which was very cute, and I will save this jar, because it’s a very good jar. iykyk. 🙂
Made quite a good bit of progress during the afternoon, before it was time to head out and pick up the girls from school.
Loved seeing this little pair of deer right before pulling into Grammy’s driveway out in Deer Lake tonight.
We had a pizza picnic for dinner, and then embarked on our now annual group effor to put together Operation Christmas Child boxes. My parents are on the leadership team for the area, and she collects things year-round to save for the boxes. She gets tons of stuff on super clearance for a penny each at the Dollar Tree and Target and stuff like that, and people even mail her stuff from around the country. Last year, we did about 150-ish boxes. And tonight, we put together 178!
Mama had everything set up and organized so well, and she gives out instructions to all the little girls, and grown-ups man specific stations, and it goes very smoothly and very quickly. The girls all love doing it, and even Hayden got in on making some boxes this year!
So glad I’m finally feeling mostly back to my normal self, and glad we were able to do this project as a family again tonight!
