Moon Out of Phase

Good evening everyone. Hope you all enjoyed your weekend. Seems that November really is flying. Thanksgiving is only a couple weeks away which of course means the holidays are creeping in. I'm promising myself to be more joyful. In all honesty, it wasn't that exciting of a week over here and the weekend didn't bring much excitement either. I found out I'll be working 2-10 on Thanksgiving which hasn't happened since Mia's been real real little. I've always had time with my family and Jill's family.

Luckily, my family is accommodating and we'll have a lunch at my parents house. I think I'll still be able to be get off for Friday. Hopefully. Friday, we saw our first snowfall. Just a little bit, but it was enough to get the kids at the school excited. This week, Mia was planning a sleepover with her good friend Cecilia. Her Mom wasn't totally certain it would happen, but Mia remained optimistic it would. Turns out, it didn't. We found out after 6:00pm that they just were too busy. Mia was devastated. "My heart is broken Dadda" I felt bad for her, but I know that they'll get to have a sleepover sometime soon. She's become really close friends with Cici and she was the first person's house she slept over at and immediately told me when she got home she'd want her to be the first friend to sleep over at our house. We tried to keep her busy and keep her mind off it. Jill and Mia made candles for her boss's Christmas gift.
 Sunday, we didn't do much. Slept in, which is totally weird since we're usually ones to get up and "seize the day". Didn't happen. Oh well. We're starting to scoreboard Mia's book this week. Jill wrote it the other day and it looks great. Hopefully we can get this book done before the Christmas. Mia's already looking forward to another book for the collection. She loved our book last year, and over the weekend, re-read it and STILL loves it. Always makes me happy to hear that. She loved the illustrations because I did my very best to make the drawings of her look as close to her as possible.

This week, I need to get some yard work done, art, more art and Mia's got a couple of birthday parties. Jill and I will probably go out a bit when we drop off Mia at the 2nd party. We've got a couple of hours, so why not.

That's it for now, thanks for reading!
