Chatty Cathys you all are this morning!
Kara - Maybe we should all just poke holes in boxes and send our kids to one location. A giant playdate?
Ruth - Sorry you've spent so much. We're on electric heat and have been trying to watch how much we use it as well. We bundle up

Have fun with your new camera!
Cyndi - I hear you on not even having started on holiday stuff :/ I really need to get a move on....Thankfully a lot of the people (DH mainly) that are receiving actual gifts and not holiday baskets have lists that are filled with things that can only be ordered online. There are just a few things that I actually need to get in stores.
Spooky - I'm sorry to hear that your roof cannot be patched. My family went through a lot of unexpected expenses last year....such stressful times! Just remember that when there is a will, there is a way. You'll find a way.
The kitty outfits? My kitty would hate it....and me.

Cute idea though.
Also, you were productive in that time you weren't sleeping!! Impressive!
Schmoo - Have fun with your kids this weekend...I'm not sure how old they are, so suggestions from me are rather limited
Stephanie - Have a great day!
Jenny, I'm responding to your post in yesterday's chat. I have a project set up for DS for next week when I'm busy getting things together for Thanksgiving. He's making Turkey placemats for everyone. I printed some Thanksgiving themed coloring pages for him to color and also cut out some leaves out of fall colored construction paper. After he colors the sheets, we'll assemble them on some laminate paper to seal. He is excited about getting to contribute and since he has to do a bunch, it should keep him out of my hair for a few hours.

I stopped by SIL to pick up some of her laundry yesterday because she has been out of a washer since Nov. 4. She's homeschooling 3 kids and injured which hasn't left her a lot of time to get to a laundrymat. I took 6 loads and will probably head to the laundry this afternoon and deliver it on the way home.
Other than that, I have dishes and some cleaning to do. I was so pooped last night that I just left the dishes in the sink
Have a great day, girls!
