10 Word Weekend Before Christmas & Not Me's

Our 10 words for the weekend:
Narnia 3D Date; More Shopping; Bells Lessons & Carols; Baby Steps


I did not come home with a box a Twinkies and a Twinkie cookbook from our MOPS white elephant gift exchange.

We celebrated the Holidays at work last week. I did not win the snowflake cutting competition. I guess all those countless hours of cutting snowflakes when I was growing up paid off! A different department had Minute To Win It games setup. I had to try and roll two ornaments into a designated area using a piece of cardboard to fan them, try to hang six nails from a taute string, and try to keep three balloons in the air. Each one needed to be completed in a minute and I did not do that well. Oh well. However, I did do better at those games than I did at the mini golf obstacle course. I also won a Cherry Crush bike in the employee drawing!

I did not leave work a couple hours early on Thursday because of the weather and again on Friday because Megan had her doctor's checkup. We did not get a call that our doctor had to go deliver a baby an hour before Megan's scheduled appointment. We rescheduled for a different doctor a little later that afternoon but when we got to the clinic we were pleased to see that she was already back from the delivery and could do Megan's checkup.

Following doctor's orders, John and I decided to go on a date Saturday afternoon to see the new Narnia movie in 3D. We were able to see it for free (besides the cost of popcorn) thanks to the General Mills promotion. It was nice to unwind for a couple hours and have some time with John away from Megan. We refilled our popcorn and went to do a few more things in the mall. I did not drop my bag spilling popcorn everywhere. What a clutz I am...

Sunday morning John and I played in our old bell choir. It was the Lessons & Carols service. The service was a little lengthy but very, very nice with five choirs performing (two instrumental and three choral). After two services, John went to work and I did a little more shopping.

Another thing we worked on a lot this weekend was helping Megan work on her walking. She is willing to do it but just needs to increase her confidence. Even from Friday to today she has made so much progress. Megan is even standing on her own better and better every day. Baby steps, baby steps...

Finally, I was not officially made a mommy this morning. I took Megan out of her carseat at G&G Lewis's place and started walking towards the front door. All of a sudden I heard a couple weird noises coming from Megan and before I knew it there was projectile throw-up coming out of Megan's little mouth. I think there were it came up four times and went all over my coat and over and down Megan's snowsuit. Luckily we were outside and not in the car or inside. I thought she might be sick but once we got the dirty clothes off she was all smiles. I smelled like sour milk the entire drive in to work. Yuck... but just part of being a mom!
