Not much happening again.
Monday night I did a little more on the crochet dolls for the girls presents, Eddie and I played some Kinect games on the Xbox.
Tuesday night I made some salt dough ornaments. (Not with Vallerie). Since I didn't have a ton of time to oven dry them, I decided to let them air dry all night (and probably all day today). I went to take a look at my creations, and flip them over and I noticed... cat paw prints! My damn cat got on the table (which he is NOT supposed to do) and stepped in like 7 of them! Arg! I was so mad!
That's all I have to report...

Monday December 17th
We had a good weekend. We didn't do much, but it was still good.
I really can't remember anything noteworthy that happened, other than Vallerie's potty chair making noises when no one was near it. I told Eddie that it was probably just some little ghost using it. He said it was probably the batteries going dead. (Party pooper)
I finished one of the things I needed to make for Christmas gifts. The next thing I have to finish are the crochet dolls. Ugh. I should have finished those a long time ago.
OH I remember. Saturday or maybe it was Friday night... Vallerie and I went shopping at Hobby Lobby. We got some good stuff for the family. I still have a couple more things to get, but I am pretty much done.
This weekend Eddie and I are going out to finish up the kids shopping and also buy Vallerie some Christmas attire. Yay. Then maybe if my mom is up for it, Sunday we will go Clothes shopping for me! Whoo Hoo!
I can't believe that Christmas is almost here and it hasn't gotten below 30 degrees (daytime). I want snow damn it!

Thursday December 13th
Once again, not much is happening in the land of Lauren. Tuesday after work I made some ornaments.
Yesterday I worked from home. I had a doctors appt after work. I made dinner (frozen stuff) and then played Halo 4.
Vallerie woke up last night with a fever of 104. Eddie put her in the tub and she cooled off a little. Then we took her into our room and tried to get her to sleep in our bed. It worked a little, but she was up most of the night I think. So, around 6 am I put her back in her bed and she slept until 10. She still had about a 101 fever this morning, but we gave her some medicine. She's acting pretty normal, she's just got the fever.
Tomorrow is our annual Christmas carry in lunch and gift exchange. I got put in charge of getting it all together (less than a week before the date) But I think I have everything under control. I am going to try and make cupcakes tonight. I don't know if I will have time.
I haven't had a soda in a couple days. Only water and a little tea. I have also been cutting out the sugar. It's not easy, but I am getting too fat!

Tuesday December 11th
The weekend was pretty good. I picked up our replacement table on Saturday. I also got 2 more chairs. It looks really nice. Now all we need is a rug.
Sunday we didn't do much but hang out at home.
Yesterday was the same really. Not too much happening around here.
Vallerie has been more fussy when she doesn't get her way. She's still doing good in her big girl bed, although last night she thought she would be sneaky and watch Eddie and me from under her door. We were at the dining room table doing Christmas cards and we hear her giggle. Eddie goes to her door and she's laying on the floor looking under the door. He told her to go back to bed, and she did. Then 10 minutes later we hear her playing, so Eddie peeks in and he sees her run to her bed and get under the covers. She (I think) went to bed soon after that.
There are now Disney movies on Netflix. I have been trying to get Vallerie to watch Dumbo, but she isn't interested. Guess I will watch it all by myself.
I need to get working on handmade Christmas presents. Vallerie has some crafting to do too. I might wait until my mom is here so she can help! I will have to get on Pinterst and get some ideas.

Friday December 7th
This week has been a little slow and uneventful.
Thursday I decorated the tree at work. It was really fun. It looks pretty good. Here are a few pictures: (It looks a lot better in person)
I started making more ornaments. I have about 20 in process. So, each night I will do a little more work on them.
Wednesday I went out and bought new ornaments for the Christmas tree at work. It was pretty fun. Vallerie went with me, and she was pretty good, so I bought her a little pink stuffed bear.

This weekend we are going to exchange our dining room table for an undamaged one. That should be... fun.
That's about it. Like I said, uneventful. (But that's ok)

Monday December 3rd
We had a very nice weekend I suppose.
Saturday Vallerie and I walked to my grandpas house and met my Aunt. (It was almost 60 degrees!) We then rode in the Christmas parade on the trolley. It was pretty fun. Vallerie had a good time waving at people through the window. After it was over we all walked home.
After Vallerie's nap we started the 1st day of the advent tree calendar that my mom bought. She got a chocolate. She wanted to open more doors. I was cute.
Saturday night I wrapped presents. We held some of them back to put under the tree on Christmas Eve.
Sunday we didn't go anywhere, no that's a lie, I went to ALCO and used a $12 coupon. I bought a few little things and also a really cool cookie cutter that cuts out an entire little house that you assemble after baking. It's pretty ingenious really. We cleaned the house a bit. Vallerie opened door two on the advent calendar. She got a little eraser this time. She was disappointed, and actually tried to eat it.
It's about 70 degrees out today. I am a little ticked. Where is the cold weather and snow? I want snow! It doesn't feel like Christmas without snow. People keep telling me that it will be here soon. Well, that's not soon enough!
Have not made Christmas cards yet. Not sure if I am going to make any this year. I don't know if I have time. I may just cop out and buy some. I guess I still have a little time to get some made, but I don't even have any pictures or anything. ARG!
