Yesterday

Our incredible art project :)

Yesterday was a fun, though exhausting day! I got to spend the morning with Emma at her preschool where we worked on an art project together (a gorgeous turkey breadbasket made out of a paper grocery bag...I wonder if Aunt Eileen will let us use it at the dinner table on Thanksgiving??), listened to Mrs. Bewalda read a story and of course had a snack. All the kids were just precious and seemed so excited to have a parent or grandparent with them at school. I wish I could bottle this time in Emma's life and use it later on when she is a teenager and undoubtedly won't want anything to do with me...



After my morning at school I had two doctor's appointments between which I ran a bunch of errands. Both doctors told me that the babies and I are doing just fine! Even though I was sure this would be the outcome it was still nice to hear it out loud from the experts :)



While I was running my errands yesterday I started to panic a bit, thinking about all the gifts I have to buy and the increasing length of my to do list. I think a little bit of panic is common this time of year, at least for me, but it is still not a good feeling. So what did I do? Today I sat down and made a "master list" of things that I need to do, things I need to buy, etc. Somehow that made me feel better, even though I didn't get to cross a single thing of my list. At least I have everything in black on white...is that strange?? Anyway, it will all get done - eventually.


Emma turned into a mouse at preschool the other day.
