christmas book advent.
i wanted to do a christmas book advent last year with serena, but we only had a very few christmas picture books. i've decided to start collecting now, so we'll have 24 to read before this christmas {seriously, i'm already planning christmas 2011! what!?}. here's what we have so far:
christmas in the manger
who is coming to our house?
the night before christmas {illustrated by douglas gorsline}
stopping by woods on a snowy evening {illustrated by susan jeffers}
christmas is here
how murray saved christmas
snow
snowmen at night
wake up, santa claus!
how the grinch stole christmas
i'll be home for christmas {toot & puddle}
a wish to be a christmas tree
the twelve days of christmas {jan brett}
the wild christmas reindeer
silent night, holy night
we still need 10 more. {we read how murray saved christmas AND the night before christmas on christmas eve.} any suggestions?
sickies.
it seems this winter we are bound to catch one cold after another after another. bleh. i don't remember ever having one of those colds that makes you sneeze like crazy. i've probably sneezed 30 times today. i've been trying hard not to get harper sick {see my mask above}, but based on her irritability today, i'd say we're in for a bad 48 hours.
on a happier note, though, i've been keeping up the new year's resolution to cook 3 dinners a week. in case you're wondering what's been cookin' in my kitchen:
last week:
sweet & sour {turkey} meatballs
candy chicken
chicken parmesan + french peasant bread {so good. so easy.}
this week:
chicken pesto paninis on the geo.fo. {inspiration from here}
easy chicken cordon bleu {with a few alterations, making it into a casserole}
spaghetti with homemade sauce
paninis are tonight and i'm counting down the minutes until sean gets home and i can get cooking! yummmm.

top 10 reasons i don't want to blog lately.
{in no particular order}
10. harper is almost 3 months old and not so sleepy anymore and demanding more attention, which i am happy to give! she is usually awake during serena's nap and i get some mommy-harper time.
09. nothing particularly interesting is happening around here.
08. i'm actually trying to read a book. with packing, moving, unpacking & having a baby, i got kind of out of the reading habit. and i've missed it. i'm now reading the maze runner and i'm hooked.
07. we've been watching a lot of how i met your mother through netflix. yeah... great use of time, i know. but we're almost through the last season available on dvd, so that should free up some time :)
06. i haven't had any pictures to post, and i HATE posting without pictures.
05. i'm busy working 3 days a week.
04. i've been busy cooking.
03. i've been busy doing laundry which has doubled since harper was born. i don't understand it. she does spit up a LOT, but geez, i feel like i do nothing but laundry these days.
02. i've been busy with a few crochet projects that are now thankfully done. i'm taking a break from the hook because of...
01. carpal tunnel. i used to joke about getting carpal tunnel from all of my crocheting, and now it has actually happened. and it is NOT FUN. turning the key in the ignition, using a can opener, doing my hair, changing diapers, carrying the baby seat, typing... they all cause severe pain. {and here i am typing...} my hand aches all night and i'm seeing my dr about it today.
