Catch Up

The movie party went off without a hitch. The kids loved it, and the grown ups got in on the fun too. Although, for the most part, the kids paid more attention to the fog machine than they did to the movie! Rylee was scheduled for her second flu shot, but we put that off until this week. I didn't want her to be sore during the holidays. Thanksgiving came and went. Aaron made his famous deep fried turkey and we had all the fixin's. We invited everyone, but only his parents made it over for dessert. Holidays are always a bit tough since we generally don't take Rylee out as much in the cold weather. Later we all snuggled up in bed together. Nothing like a nap on Thanksgiving day! We woke up to snow flurries Friday. Aaron and Rylee stayed home and watched football together. Every time he yelled at the television she turned her head to find him. By the end of the third overtime (Arkansas v. LSU) she probably had whiplash! Ryann and I went out to see "Enchanted." We both enjoyed it immensely-I've never been in a theatre where people clap during the movie! Then we trotted around Pullman Square and checked out the bookstore. After the girls were warm in bed, I settled in to read a book and wait for Rylee's "last call" (feeding and meds). I heard cars in the driveway and caught our church teenagers making a feeble attempt at rolling our house. They barely made it out of the car when I saw them and waved from the window-at which point they all scrambled harem-scarem, toilet paper rolls in their wake, back into their cars and peeled off.
This week looks like volunteer work at the hospital, mailing out the invitations for Rylee's Rally, and dropping off some clothing to a baby living at the mission. I'm also contemplating painting while Aaron is in DC. Hurts my head already just thinking about it all! We'll see how much I get done...I'm guessing the painting will be at the bottom of the list.
