Busy days!

We had a really nice (if cold) weekend, going out to the downtown area and getting some shopping done for Christmas.  While we were out, we checked Jack’s foot size, since I am looking to get him some kind of wind-proof shoe.  AAaaaaaannnd… he wears a 3 or 4.  And he’s 5 months old.  Somehow this seems to be rather large, but then, what else is new?

On Sunday, we geared up for a big storm! 6-12 inches by Monday!  but it ended up being barely 2 or 3 inches.  I did manage to start working on my Christmas stocking, breaking out fabric that I had been hoarding from last year.  I had been thinking about this stocking for a while, and had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to do.  It would have a white flannel interior that would fold over the outer patterned fabric, and the cuff made by the flannel would have my name embroidered on it.  Eventually, it worked out, but that’s another post.  Probably one I will write next.

Lastly, I hosted playgroup for the cloth-diapering-nursing-organic-eating-plastic-free moms today and it was really nice.  I made chicken pot pie (using my homemade turkey stock and the chicken I roasted last night) and had pears and honey for a light dessert.  Ben says they can’t be crunchy granola types because the don’t wear Birkenstocks.  It was really cute with all the little girls–Jack came down from his nap, though, and when he got a good look at everyone in the living room, he got really upset.  He’s not really used to alot of people around all the time, and he got a little freaked.  I need to get him out  more, I think.  Or wait, is that Ben?

Enough summary!  I will put up another post on my stocking.  I am really proud of it.
