Sunday - we didn't go to church as she was still coughing a lot. And I didn't want to bring her around a bunch of other kids. It was a quiet day but productive in cleaning/rearranging. We are in the process of moving the guest bed out of Ella's room into the office. Well the office has about 2 years worth of clutter in it - so it took some time going through everything, rearranging, and getting everything all cleaned up! Today we made the big switch.
It was rather a normal week for us. Josh had his first eye exam. He's been getting some bad headaches so I advised him to have an eye exam. :) He does work on a computer 8 hours a day....since that is his job! I thought maybe he's getting a headache from staring at that all day. He has better than perfect vision for distance...but was prescribed a very mild prescription for the computer. He at first said there was no way he was getting glasses.....but then he warmed up to the idea....or caved...and is getting some glasses to wear just while at work. He didn't like what I picked out for him....so after going back and forth - we settled on some Oakley frames that are black plastic...I approve :)
I started doing some wrapping tonight for Christmas....but soon ran out of tape (I only got 3 presents wrapped)...that love of tape must run in the family! ;)
Thanksgiving was fun. We went to the lake for lunch. Ella was super excited to go over and play with Grandpa and Gigi - and was thrilled the puppies were along for the ride. (They came with us for a week visit at the lake since Josh's parents are coming this week - it's better when the puppies aren't at our house). However when we left...Ella said, "where are my puppies?!?" in a rather accusatory tone! Ella and Grandpa had the best time (well Ella did - Grandpa was a good entertainer!)
Grandpa and Ella played with Chapstick...Ella LOVES chapstick...I have to hide it! Then Grandpa took Ella for a walk around the house...and Ella kept wanting to walk more....but it was cold out...so Grandpa had to bribe Ella with the pie inside!
And this is Ella's new smile...when she has chapstick on...she doesn't want to mess up her "lips" so she does this funny scrunched up nose smile. Silly girl! (and notice that Felix the cat is in her arms....as Felix goes everywhere with us!)
It was a nice day filled with steak, shrimp, salad, and peanut butter pie! :)
We got home and we skyped with Ella's Nanny and Grampy in Vermont and all her cousins. She just stood and stared at the TV watching everyone! We have skype connected to our TV...so it's like watching the family on TV (reality TV!)
I was given the option to take Friday off - and I jumped on that opportunity. I was thankful to have it off and spend time with Josh and Ella. I made a bunch of muffins. And I am going to make a German Chocolate Poke Cake to bring with us tomorrow - we are going to a friends house to have a Thanksgiving meal.
I got lots of laundry, dishes, cleaning done today. And tomorrow morning...I get a massage! :) I'm looking forward to it!
