What have you been up to lately? I'm off work this whole week (Whoo-hoo!) and Steve's mom flies in tomorrow for a few days. It will be nice to see her and for her to see the house! She hasn't been here since it was finished and we moved in.
I'm not quite up for Christmas decorating yet, although many folks seem to be doing that early this year! I am probably a third of the way through my shopping. I was hoping to get Savannah some of the zhu zhu pets this year. You know, the cute little animated pet hamsters? She liked them so much when she played with them at her cousin's house last month. That was before I knew they were the "IT" item this year. You remember....Wii, Tickle Me Elmo, Cabbage Patch Dolls...The toy that is impossible to find before Christmas or if you do, it's at 8x the price, but somehow, they're everywhere by Jan. 2! So Santa's alternative is a dollhouse. Now if we can just get it on sale or with free shipping, we're good to go!
I saw a cute idea in a magazine I thought we might try: Create your own holiday "to-do" advent calendar. Choose a seasonal activity to do each day. Savannah is only 4, so this will be our first year with the idea of an advent calendar. We'll probably suck at it and end up scraping the whole thing by Dec. 9th, but we'll give it a shot! Got any cute Christmas projects or activities planned?

these Zhu Zhu pets are cute, i'll give 'em that, though i feel a little sorry for all the people who go way out of their way to stores that are all sold out
