So we got a little dusting of snow this morning and last night, yay! This morning I bundled Makenna up and we took an excursion outside! She didn't really like playing in it but she liked walking because the leaves were crunchy! I grabbed my big honking faux slr that takes great pictures (although with super slow shutter speed) before we went out so I could get some wintery pics of Makenna. Do notice in the pictures she has a red mark on her forehead, yeah I accidentally smacked her in the head with the huge camera when I went to take her outside (it's on a neck strap). Doh!
This weekend we are going over to Indiana to bake some Christmas cookies with Grandma Helen! Yay! I'm sure Makenna won't mind as cookies are a love of hers.
Last night Grandma Vicki was nice enough to babysit Makenna for us while Brent and I went out for date night. We went to one of our once most favorite restaurants, Great Impasta, we just hadn't been in forever! The food was wonderful as well as the atmosphere! We had the steamed mussels, nicoise pasta salad, a bowl of clam chowder (so good!), and an Italian cream carrot blueberry cake (yeah it was as weird as it sounds)! Anyway it was lovely and we enjoyed it all so much we missed our movie that we were going to go to! Ahhh, c'est la vie! We ended up going to Walmart instead, yeah I know reallllly romantic but we needed milk, lol.
Last weekend we....didn't do a lot! Really, I don't think we left the house. We did however put up the Christmas lights on Sunday because it was freaking 60 degrees! I took Makenna to her swingset for the last swing of the season because it was so warm! Now the lights are up along with all the Christmas decor outside and we decorated the tree last week. This year the tree is in the guest room (at the moment), I'm thinking about maybe moving it into the front room after I clean it up and do a few touch ups (shhh, don't tell Brent)!
So I've slowly been working on finishing the front room, the woodwork needs to be polyed but I am going to wait until the spring to do that (I think I've killed enough brain cells this season)! I'm still looking for the perfect curtains, nothing has jumped out at me. But the chairrail is up!
