Last night, when we got home from Erfurt, I searched high and low for my camera's battery charger. I could not find it. Had a talk with St Anthony. Still lost. I was so upset. I even had dreams about finding that stupid thing. Horrible night sleep, let me tell you. Woke up this morning, and I just knew I was going to find it. Looked here, there, everywhere. 1300 (that's 1PM), that stupid charger was still MIA. I finally make a desperate plea on Facebook, asking if anyone has a spare camera. And not even 5 minutes later, I find the dang charger! I was so stinking excited I literally jumped for joy. Thanked St Anthony. Then charged my dead battery!

P and K made their first 'Gingerbread' houses today. Actually, the houses were made out of graham crackers, and J and I assembled the houses during naptime. So really, P and K decorated their first graham cracker houses today! Whatever you want to call it, they did an aweesome job. The houses look amazing, best ever! Yes, that is mommy-bias, deal with it.

Of course, there was plenty of snacking on the gum drops and Reece's pieces during the decorating... So dinner wasn't really a big deal. Last week, as I was planning meals before I went shopping, J asked me to make Spagetti. Huge cringe. I am not a fan. Probably because we ate it so often growing up. But I figured, I had gone almost 6 years without making it for the husband, so I should suck it up. I did. I made 'Pasgetti' (as every kid calls it). And I had cereal for dinner.

And, before I crawl to bed, I have to say how proud I am of myself! I made each of the girls their own 'crayon rolls'. I found the pattern on some website (really wish I could remember where...). They turned out pretty cute! It's 3 pieces of fabric - front, back, and pocket- with a ribbon. Each crayon has its own pocket, and it all rolls up and gets tied with the ribbon. Super fun, right? I made P's and K's out of old receiving blankets, so the only real cost was the box of crayons. And they are cute! I am about 99% sure K is a lefty, so I placed her ribbon on the left, and P's on the right... It's the little differences that matter!

So happy my camera battery was charged enough to handle today's awesome experience!
