Gracious, is it ever cold in Upstate New York! Yesterday morning when taking Sasha for a walk, I honestly felt as though I was in North Dakota again. :) Sasha doesn't seem to care what the temperature is... as long as she gets her walk.
Life has been busy around here. Busy doing what? This and that. It's amazing how much time and energy this and that can take! We, of course, are getting ready for the holidays which will be very entertaining with Abi. She is pretty good, so far, about avoiding the Christmas tree. She does play with a few of the lower ornaments and really likes the bows and curling ribbon on the packages. It's pretty neat to see her so captivated by such simple items.
Another part of Abi's daily routine is to empty off a shelf of an old microwave cart. We have the cart in the dining room to serve as a second pantry of sorts. It has microwave popcorn, chips, plastic cups, etc. She takes great pleasure in clearing the shelf. The other day, while I was baking and making supper, Abi also rearranged my Lazy Susan. Apparently, she didn't feel the Jell-O boxes belonged on the bottom shelf... or the cookie sprinkles... or the shortening. Oh well. We let her explore as long as it's safe and we put the stuff back later. Who knows? It may just end up being neater than before!
I need to stop this typing and attempt to be productive. Greg has started a fire in our fireplace... I think sitting in front of it will be a great place to work on Christmas cards.
Thanks for reading... talk to you soon!
