It has gotten cold here. I will say that the past few days have been in the low 50's which is VERY nice, but the mornings are cold and the days before that were SOOOOOOO chilly. For fun, the kids have turned to crocheting. One of their cousins turned them on to it, so they have been making hats, hats and more hats. Austin made a hat and scarf for his friend that is a girl. He spent hours and he had me crochet a flower for the hat and scarf. They turned out amazing!
Alex has made about 5 hats so far. He says he is giving them to his friends for Christmas. Fine by me.
Maylin and I have been wrapping presents and making cupcakes. We made strawberry flavored cake with vanilla icing. We added pink sprinkles and then I found a bag of malted milk balls from Halloween so we put one in the center of each cupcake. They were darling and they tasted great! We took a few around to some neighbors.
We are taking a vacation soon! Everyday Maylin asks if it is time to pack yet. I tell her everyday she needs to wait a bit longer. Last night she packed herself. Oh. My. Gosh. She packed about 20 pencils and pens. A tea cup. 10 shirts, pants and skirts. None of them matched. A broken camera. Lotion. A huge pink eraser. Crackers. Barbies. Some of MY kitchen utensils. When I told her we weren't taking any of those things she got very upset. We compromised and told her we would take some of the clothes if we could bring something that matched. I also told her 1 Barbie could come along. Obviously, this girl is excited! So am I!!!! I will fill you in later with the where and when.
