Too Many Socks

There are 89 (yes... I'm sure) pairs of baby socks in Baby Sister's drawer. A lot of them are size 6 to 12 months, but that is still way more socks than any little girl probably needs. I guess you can say we solved the problem of the disappearing socks.

Abby got her first Polly Pocket set today - a Beauty and the Beast one. We had to get something Belle that Abby could take with her after taking the dvd to church on Sunday resulted in a little meltdown over the church not having a dvd player or t.v. for Abby's personal use. So now, instead of traveling with her favorite dvd, we are traveling with a tiny Belle and a tiny Beast doll. The things we do to make life with a toddler less trying...

We are still no closer to finalizing Baby Sister's name. Steve asked me if I'd picked out her name yet, and I told him I wasn't picking one because I didn't want to give her a name he hated. He said the same thing. So we are still at an impasse on naming this little lady. And with just over 10 weeks left, it may be coming down to the wire.

Sockless

We must have a baby sock stealing gnome in our house because we can't find socks for Baby Sister in all the boxes of Abby's old things. I've found the shoes, clothes, bibs, blankets, and basically everything you can think of, except the socks. Weird... I guess today will have a little more box hunting to see if we can get some socks found.

It is snowing again... lots of snow. Big, beautiful flakes, which apparently will mean another 3 to 5 inches by the end of the day. There was at least 2 or 3 inches out there when I shoveled off Maize's trail to the backyard again. It is just wonderful to sit on the couch, snuggling Abby (who discovered that our light switch above the couch controls the Christmas tree), and watch the snowflakes come down. It's a good thing we don't really have much to do today except clean and get ready for our Christmas party tomorrow night. And possibly buy a cheesecake pan so we can attempt our first ever cheesecake. Yummy!
