Elisa’s Day

i can’t even get a handle on how fast time is whipping by us these days. it was thanksgiving and all of the sudden it was halloween and i just know that before we know it it will be christmas!

the last few weeks have been a blur of activity. halloween costumes were made, a baby blanket was knit, the resulting chaos that became the house with so many other projects on the go, was finally cleaned and organized. it was probably a good week after thanksgiving before i even got the extra tables out of my living room ( they actually came in handy when sewing halloween costumes )

i have another project to knit in the cue and i really want to start teaching myself to crochet, so those are my focus for november.

i just finished re-reading The Timetraveller’s Wife. so good.

sidney has the flu. I don’t know if she has THE flu, or just A flu, and truthfully i don’t really care. my kids are healthy, with no pre-existing conditions ( like asthma ) to complicate, they have strong immune systems (  the last time i can recall sidney barfing was in 2004 ) so i am really not scarred of THE flu, it’s a flu like any other flu. i do have minor concerns about the baby. sidney is to go nowhere near her. and i wash my hands before i pick her up every single time. and i will be keeping a very close eye on her for any fever or breathing issues and will take her into the doctor immediately if i notice any. hopefully we were careful enough soon enough that it will be a non-issue, there is nothing worse then a sick baby.

speaking of the baby…..she’s so big. i’m in full denial of her bigness. she can’t possibly be big enough for toys. but she is. her favorite is this little haba mouse. she loves to look at it while i shake it, she loves to talk to it and touch it and especially to chew on his little ears. she’s all slobbery smiles and giggles. she finds sidney especially funny. when sidney laughs, molly laughs. sometimes we tickle sidney just to get the baby laughing. i think she might be teething.

the girls had a great halloween, much trick or treating was done, much junk food was procured. sadly, being sick has kind of taken the fun out of it for sidney, who only got to enjoy her bounty sat. night and sun. morning before the headache set in. for now the supply is still ridiculous, but if she’s sick more then another day or so  i will stash away some of the goods for her before the other two ( and dad and i ) finish it off.

we missed the last farmers market, though i doubt there were many vendors, it was a dark and rainy day. we did make it last week though so i could stock up on macoons. if you like mac apples and ever find yourself with the opportunity to try a macoon do so. it’s a cross of a mac and some other apple i can’t remember. best apple ever. i pretty much bought out the apple guy, as many as i could fit in my crisper and ryans little beer fridge, now our apple fridge. i always look forward to late fall for the macoons.

and mondays, i look forward to mondays because it means dexter, pvr’d from last night.
