No craft today

I woke up exhausted from being in pain all evening yesterday, so I decided that the craft I had planned for today can wait until tomorrow.  I can do the prep work for it tonight when I come home from work so Ben won't have so much waiting while I cut out all the pieces.  We did color a picture of an Indian and pilgrim, and began to learn what Thanksgiving really is all about.  I unfortunately was not as well informed as I'd have liked to be about the topic, so I researched it using wikipedia.

I feel so extremely lazy today.  We did a pizza party for lunch because I just didn't feel like cooking anything.  Ben loves anything coated in cheese.  So cheese pizza worked very well for us.  He even got a special drink.  I let him have sprite with his lunch.  I only let him have pop on special occasions or when we go out to eat, and even then, pop isn't guaranteed.  I think he enjoyed it today.

Maybe while Ben naps I'll get some reading in before I have to get ready for work.  Right now, I'm reading the first book in the Vampire Diaries called The Awakening.  I must say, it is very different from the show, but still really good.  Yes, I've been hooked on this vampire craze too.  For me, it started with the series on HBO, True Blood.  I was in love with the show and a friend suggested I read the Twilight series and then go see the movie with her and her husband on opening night.  I did and loved it all too, so next I read the Sookie Stackhouse novels (the True Blood books).  I have read and own all of them that are out so far and every time a new one comes out, I treat myself by buying it.

Alright, Ben has finally fallen asleep, so I'm going to go read.  I'm looking forward to tomorrow when we will hopefully do our Thankful Turkey craft.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...
