one last day

only one more day of class and then i'm off for the rest of the week! woohoo!!! we have a conference tomorrow and since i presented at the last one, i got to make snacks for this one. i made about 75 mini blueberry muffins. what is it about a mini muffin (or mini anything for that matter?) that is just so stinkin' awesome?!?

we're having a quiet little turkey day here at home this year, just the three of us. i plan to make a mini meal. the menu i came up with is as follows: a turkey breast (i've got an ina garten recipe!), green bean casserole (bub's fav), sweet potatoes with the marshmallows on top (an emeril recipe), cranberry sauce, rolls, pumpkin pie and pecan pie. yummo! i'd love to make the paula dean corn casserole that i love so much, BUT since it has like two sticks of butter and a pound of cheddar cheese in it and we have no one to help us enjoy it, i best just leave it off the menu. or else you'll read my next blog about the time i OD'd on corn casserole.

nuggie is changing by the second it seems. she's walking pretty well all around the house now. she's even got the hang of stepping over things like the little ledge from the baby gate. she's saying more, though i doubt anyone would understand her but bub and i. she says, "all done", "mine", "bye bye", "mama", "dada", and she's starting to try to repeat everything we say - it's precious :-) lately she's obsessed with putting things into other things (did i already blog about this???) for instance today she carried around a plastic jar and smooshed her socks in to it and even put the lid back on. yesterday i found a fork and a chunk of bread in one of the living room end tables. she's such a sweet little weirdy :-)

christmas cards are on their way!!! i just placed my shutterfly order. i can't wait to send them out! the holidays are going to be so much fun this year. we're planning to take nuggie to see santa for the first time. i can't decide if we should do the mall thing? cheekwood is have a deal - $10 a family gets you kid friendly activities, cookies and a pic with santa. seems like a good deal?? i'm new to the world of santa visits. any advice?

i STILL haven't seen breaking dawn - BUT sweet bub has planned a date night for us on wednesday to go see it. i can't wait!

well that's about all for now :-) happy monday loves!
