Muffin Tin Monday, a few days late

Ok, so we did Muffin Tin Monday on Thursday since the theme was Thanksgiving.

I don't know why the picture is sideways, but it won't let me fix it. So we had crescent rolls, sweet potatoes w/ marshmallows, stuffing, honey glazed carrots, turkey and cranberry sauce. Connor went right for the cranberry sauce and didn't eat much else. He did better later on with the leftovers :)

We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

No Muffin Tin Today

This week's Muffin Tin Monday's theme is "Thanksgiving". Since we are having Thanksgiving here, we have nothing ready yet :) I will post a Muffin Tin on Thursday. I am actually going to do a Tin for lunch, but it won't be anything "special". Although, Connor does love his tins :)

Completely Forgot

I completely forgot about Wordless Wednesday yesterday. Jon's grandma recently passed and it was her funeral. She was 94. I never got to know her. She had Alzheimer's already when we met. From what they said, it sounds like she was a pretty neat person to know. RIP Sarah.

Ok, on a lighter note, my mom reminded me that Thanksgiving is next week. ??? Where did November go?? I can't believe it's already half over. I need to get into super-cleaning mode so the house is ready. I hate cleaning...

I've gotten into doing my nails lately. I love OPI lacquer and found their Facebook page. They are doing a water marbling contest right now. I have no desire to enter it, mine aren't nearly good enough. But it's fun to play with. Here is my second attempt:



I still had some clean up to do, and the camera didn't pick up the sparkle. The colors are brighter in person too.

Updates :)

(Connor snuggling with Jon before he left on a business trip.)

First things first, I won a Baltic Amber necklace from Inspired By Finn on Mom's Crafty Space! Yay! Can't wait to get it. I somehow injured my wrist when I was pregnant with Connor (so 2 years ago). The barn door was frozen at the bottom and I really had to yank on it to get it open. So doing that 2x/day till Jon shaved off part of the door really did some damage. The doctor wouldn't x-ray it because I was pregnant, and I never went back to get it looked at. Every now and then, when I overuse it, it hurts. A lot. I wonder if I dislocated something in there. Anyway, Baltic Amber is supposed to help with aches, pains, headaches, teething pain, etc. I will post a pic once I get it, and if it does help, maybe see about hosting a giveaway here. That's something I'd like to do anyway, just not sure if I have enough readers.

My mom told me she was coming out on Thursday next week. I asked her, "What's going on Thursday?" Um, yeah, Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK! How did that happen? November is half over, and Connor's almost 19 months old. Where does the time go?



Our local Target now has a grocery section. I really like their Archer Farms yogurts. The Honey Almond is really good. Fat Free/Low Fat actually tastes good, not like some other brands. Here are their Holiday flavors:

Pumpkin Pie, Cranberry Cheesecake, Apple Cobbler, Sugar Cookie, Vanilla Maple, Egg Nog

Oh, I almost forgot. We had our first snow last week! And then a few days of 60's... Gotta love the Midwest. Here is Connor checking out snow for the first time. (Last winter doesn't really count, he was too young to get into it.)



(Yes, we have to carry a stick every time we play outside. Goodness knows we have plenty around here!)
