december already?

two days into december already and i feel like i'm falling behind. still have christmas shopping to finish, apron to sew, birthday party(s) to plan, menus to be menued and groceries to be bought- besides house needing to be cleaned, again. no news on the house. we did get another showing on friday but heard they found another house in a different area they like better. boo! we're counting on the 3rd showing people to make an offer. if we dont get one, i will cry. like a baby. again.

kaylee and i spent the day in shipshewana yesterday. its amish country thats about half an hour away. got to admire the way they chose to live. very simple and unmaterialistic. had to check out my favorite store up there and got a few things to decorate the house with. ya know- helping the local stores out. ate lunch, found fabric to make mom's apron, shopped a little more and got kaylee the cute cowgirl hat. we ended our day with a few rides on the merry go round. kaylee would say "ya hoo" while riding. i ended up dizzy and with a headache. later that night while watching jon+kate plus 8, kaylee turns to me and says " i had a lot of fun today" and gives me a gigantic hug. totally made my headache go away.
