last weekend we got to babysit these cuties
we ate fishsticks and grapes, played with blocks and cars, danced to Billy Idol, brushed teeth, read books, and went to sleep
we love them

tuesday

Dear Tuesdays,
I hope it gets warm today
but my hands are always cold.
French toast in my tummy
happy feeling
ready to face the day.

monday

Dear Mondays
I think you are so hard because
I have been spending time with my sweetheart
and then we have to be apart
but the sunshine helps

today

Today has been a good day:

whole wheat pancakes for breakfast

played my last performance jury at BYU

my jury went really well (at least I thought so, we will see what the comments say)

I got my make up done at Sephora

Sephora gave me free mascara

I bought these beautiful bowls for a grand total at $10 (thank you DI for not letting me down)

I haven't mentioned this on my blog yet, but we are moving to Texas this summer! Philip is going to start dental school there in the fall.

Happy December the 9th to everyone in blogland!
