This morning I made Cinnamon toast for breakfast. Just like my Daddy always does; lots of butter, Cinnamon sugar, and a minute under the broiler. Oh! Happy childhood memories. After the girls were dressed and groomed I plopped them in front of Dora the Explorer and worked on this little number:
My neighbor, and friend Carly, of College Ward had her long awaited baby girl on Tuesday. This is a nursing apron, for those who may not be familiar with the thing. Complete with coordinating fabric rosettes for hair or bag or jacket lapel. I don't claim to be a master seamstress, but I sure do a bang up job on these aprons!Next we visited "Geega" in Wellsville to pick up a sweet little table that I bought from the classifieds on KSL. Mom and Dad Norr obliged to bring it home for me from Pleasant Grove, they were headed that way anyhow on account of the fantastic turkey availible in Moroni. (They are hosting Thanksgiving again this year at their house. Yea!) It will be the perfect addition to Helen Morris's room after a little sanding and paint.
Grandma, the girls and I did lunch at Cafe Rio. (Our VERY favorite!) And then went shopping at Dress Barn. I was on the hunt for some more work attire. I have the honor of sitting on the design board for BATC. It involves a very fun afternoon twice a year, having lunch with the valley's best designers, and discussing the issues at the school and what we feel the students might benefit from.
I bought a new wool hat! Both girls were shot after the shopping spree, and had 3 alarm melt downs in the car on account of there being only one teddy available to love. Talia was all in a collapse on account of being marched back into the store to return a card she took. She was balling all the way in, "Don't put me in Jail Mommy, I am not a mean person!" I don't know where she got that idea, I have never threatened her with jail time? I remained very calm and did not scold her at all. Only explained that we needed to do the honest thing and bring it back. She was sobbing, but said "I'm sorry!" to the sales lady, and then buried her face in my neck.
Whew! Home to naps, and laundry and another load of dishes. Clothes to fold and hang. Vacuuming and dusting and finally fixing that ring on my drapes that has been making me crazy for months. I whipped up some home made whole wheat bread tonight. Thanks to my neighbor, Sister Beykirk for the bread making class and introducing me to the best bread ever! Mmm! Lots of butter and honey along with the turkey steaks and pasta salad tonight.
The little ladies ran around in their undies this evening. Playing house with the pillows and chasing one another with the little pink squirt bottle that I use when I iron. Here is Roo standing on a chair to play her computer game. Clutching "Oofie," her new love. Which love does not surpass her attachment to "pinkalicious," her blanket. When she is tired she wants her blanket on my shoulder and her head on the blanket, Oofie under her arm. Binkie in. She is such a delicious little naked thing. Skin so soft and sweet. I have to kiss on her all the time. And that hair, when it is clean, is the most wonderful thing to smell.
We brushed teeth, said prayers, and now the girls are dreaming in their little beds. DJ is watching the news, intermingled with a little Discovery Channel. I need to join him. And put some snugglin' on him.
It's been a day of domestic bliss.
