This weekend it rained and rained and rained and rained. Except for going to church and a little drive to look at Christmas lights, I have not left my house since Friday at 4pm. But, we have gotten a lot done:
I learned how to sew bias tape (still need a lot of practice, but I can do it.)
Bryan the plumber fixed our clogged sink
Jilly undecorated the bottom half of our Christmas tree
We watched our friends' two cute boys (they watched Jilly a couple weeks ago so we could go out so it was our turn to babysit)
I made Tootz's White Chili (we were all licking our bowls)
We decorated a Gingerbread House (and by we I mean Bryan decorated and Jilly and I ate candy)
We mailed our Christmas cards
Bryan and I both worked on some different church assignments
I scrubbed the refrigerator
We each took at least 2 naps
Bryan worked in the garage
I painted my nails Christmas red
And, perhaps most impressive and terrifying- Jilly learned to get out of her crib. At 5:45 on Friday morning I woke up to her yelling "Mommy, mommy!" When I got into the hall I realized her voice was not coming from her bedroom but from downstairs. Jillian was just sitting on the couch in the dark living room, and when I got down she said, "lights lights!" and pointed at the Christmas tree for me to turn the lights on. Thankfully she hasn't repeated the trick yet.

Elise learned how to climb out of her crib about 2 weeks ago and I was NOT ready for that!! If you are interested in keeping her in here is what worked for us: We simply turned her crib around! The "back" of her crib that would normally be along the wall is higher than the front of the crib so we just did a 180 with it. Not is is to tall for her to climb her way out- problem solved! It's scary when they do that huh? Sorry about all the rain- such a bummer!! Sounds like you guys got a lot accomplished though! thanks for the recipe, we'll have to try it out!! I hope you liked this run-on paragraph!!
I can't believe Jilly can get out of her crib!! That's crazy!
