Mouse, I'm glad Lacy is well again. That stinks missing so much right at before the holidays.
We never made it to either place yet. Decided the mansion will have to wait til next year. We just were too busy to get it in since I ended up having to track down another Old Navy store to get the coat Savannah wanted.
I'd recommend the drive down to Stone Mountain or check out Life College (I have a link somewhere!) before I gave Lake Lanier $30 for a car load. SHEESH! Life College is $5 per car and Stone Mountain is $8 unless you want to go into the Village and do the fun stuff they have in there. Wish we could afford to go in but this year it will just be driving through.
I did find out there is a free ballet - can't remember the name of it right now - but it will be at the Clayton Performing Arts center on Friday and Saturday the 22nd and 23rd. I've requested tickets for the matinee on Saturday.
This Friday we will see the Nutcracker at the Fox. I know it will be a shortened version but I don't care. It was only $8 each instead of $26-$80! or even the $15 the local places wanted around here.
We had our Mom's Night Out for our homeschool group last night. It was fun.
I think there were 12 of us. We each brought an ornament to swap. We just passed them all around the table until 2 moms yelled stop at the same time. It was funny because it wasn't planned but they were both holding something that wasn't wrapped or in a bag and wanted to keep it. Ends up everyone got ornaments they really liked.
I made the one I took and told the mom who got it that if she didn't like it I'd take it back. It was a lot of work. She loved it though and was trying to figure out how to make them herself. LOL! They were easy but still a ton of work. I made it out of plastic canvas which is a pain to cut when you are doing more intricate patters like stars and I had to cut 15 stars for the one ornament. It made a 3-D star with a bell hanging out the bottom. I took a picture so when I get them uploaded I'll try to post it for you to see.
Now I'm working on crocheting a tree
skirt. We got a live tree this year for the first time in forever. I'm hoping to get it put in the house tonight sometime and decorate it tonight and tomorrow. Thankfully the piano teacher called and after discussing it we cancelled lessons until January 3rd so that gives us extra time tomorrow.
Thursday morning we have our homeschool party and then that evening the girls have their choir concerts. Friday is the Nutcracker and then next week will be pretty empty of commitments. YEAH!! I need to spend time wrapping gifts and making sure I'm not missing anything.
Well, I need to go. Terry got new pants that I need to take to have cuffed for his inseam (26.5"). Have a wonderful evening!!
