Fun morning with E

I kept E out of daycare today to spend the day with me. I want her to get used to a mid-week break from daycare since she'll be going Tu/Th starting in December. We had a fun morning shopping for Christmas gifts...with the exception of her escape in the parking lot. We came out of a store and she took off down the side walk. When I yelled to her to come back, she got between 2 parked cars and ran out into the "street." I screamed and ran after her. Thank the good Lord there were no cars driving by or she would have been hit. I was so scared and pannicked. I just grabbed her and yelled no over and over. Anytime she has a disobedient episode I usually make "new rule." Hold mama's hand at all times in the parking lot. I think I scared it into her. Hopefully we'll never have an experience like that again.

After that drama, we went to the IWK for my OBGYN appt. Everything's A-OK as usual. It was nice for E to hear L's heartbeat, but the static noise did scare her. My doctor is only in on Wed and I'm taking E out of daycare the next 2 Wed so she'll be able to tag along again. After my appt., we went for lunch, picked up a few groceries and now it's nap time. I can still hear E so I thought I'd take a sec to report in. :) Yesterday I didn't take the time. I cut up my pumpkin and cooked it...a 3 hour ordeal. I did some laundry and wrote out my Christmas cards too. They'll go out late this year though since I'm waiting till I have our pictures done to send out. So that's about all that's new. Tomorrow I'm staying put. I'll likely go out to the garage and get the infant car seat, tub, etc., and wash everything. Oh, and I'd like to start sewing the girls stockings and L's curtain. We're leaving the painting till the weekend since we'll have more time.

Well, better get to bed. Hope you're having a great day!
