This and That
Yesterday was a pretty good day. I taught my daughter how to comparison shop as we went to Menard's, Wal-Mart and Pet-Co to check prices on puppy supplies. On our list of things to check were a crate, puppy food, puppy treats, puppy collar and a special ball I was looking for. We got everything plus a little bone that was on clearance at Pet-Co. We discovered that Menards is the place to shop for pets! If they had it, they were by far cheaper. But they did not have the crate or the ball toy I wanted, so Wal-Mart and Pet-Co got a bit of our money, as well. Why are all the accessories more than the actual puppy?
At home, I discovered a tempting use for our new crate:
Hopefully, they'll let poor Holden in!
Today, we are finishing up our "Homemade Christmas." We are giving homemade jelly (peach and pear) and some Fruit Jumble Granola from a recipe from Marmee's Kitchen. It was printed in The Old Schoolhouse Magazine and is really yummy! It's a good thing we got enough stuff to make a double batch or our Christmas presents would not survive the snacking!
We're getting ready to make our Christmas cards. Baby Bear will be putting a cute little Teddy Bear sticker on the front. Inside, I printed out Matthew 1:23 and Little Mouse will be writing "Merry Christmas!" inside. Nothing for Baby Bug at the moment. When Mausi was that age, we seeled the cards with her little hand print. When Baby Bear was that age, we seeled them with his footprint. We might do something similar with little Baby Bug...except that we are not putting these in envelopes. They are just getting stuck in the box with all the jellies/granola.
Tomorrow, we pick up little Holden. We're excited...even my husband admitted being a little excited. That reminds me...I need to get going on clearing off my sewing stuff and making room for my husband to break down our table and move some dressers so we'll have room for the little rascal. Hmmm. How easy it is to forget what I don't want to do.
Merry Christmas, all!
