Hello everyone!
AK ran like the wind across the playground when she saw me yesterday :) it was great to see her! She enthusiastically showed me all the Christmas decorations all over her daycare and we stood at the door to one classroom for quite a while - they had "stars" and "snowmen" and "presents" and "candy canes". We hit up the movie store quickly for a Thomas video then came home. AK was quite happy to run around and around the pool for quite some time, then she discovered a small water fountain for washing her hands. She then washed her hands a million time - but discovered that "soap in the house". Molly and Cindy came by for a play (and a drink - can't drink alone, you know!) which was great. Molly and AK "cooked supper" for us - hot dogs, french fries and vegetables! They both love the snowman / dog Jingle Bells ornament.
This morning, AK was "making breakfast" and I asked her if she was making bacon for breakfast. A bit later, she asked "where's the bacon Mommy?" so I actually had to make some for breakfast! We had a nice meal of blueberry pancakes with turkey bacon. Thank goodness I had the bacon in the freezer! I guess I have to watch what I say - not sure AK would have been too impressed if I hadn't been able to deliver.
We spent about an hour with Charmain this morning, wrapping gifts. It was fun :) When we came home, AK and I wrote a letter to Santa Claus together and she decorated it with stamps, stickers and marker. We'll deliver it to Santa's mailbox this afternoon.
AK has a bit of a song repertoire. She starts with Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star, then goes right into the ABC Song, then finishes off with her mangled version of Jingle Bells. She gets the Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way part right, but completely mangles the next line :) she always ends off with a very strong "SLEIGH!" though.
I've noticed that her pitch is much better than mine - she can certainly carry a tune much better than her mama. Thank goodness. I would have hated for her to be as tone deaf as I am.
We had some nice cuddles in bed this morning, and AK is down for a nap right now. I need to make a dip for a BBQ this afternoon. Karen is having everyone over for a pre-Christmas get-together. AK will then go home with Molly for a sleep-over so I can go to my Christmas party! I have a new dress that I'm looking forward to wearing and I know it will be a fun time with my colleagues. We are going to an Italian restaurant for supper and who knows what will happen after?
Am now finished all my Christmas shopping, just need a bit of groceries next week, but not much. All wrapping is also done, and there is just a wee bit of baking left to do. Maybe AK and I will do that tomorrow morning. I think the next week will fly by - we have so many fun things on the calendar. xo
