* Friday morning errands which included a trip to the $ bins at Target.
More happy than you know to see that they’re slowly putting out alllll of their Christmas goodies!
A quick stop by Goodwill with a browse though the book section, of course. IG stories will be updated later with my funniest finds 😂
* Lunch with Joe and his mom and sis at the hospital.
{Banner Desert cafeteria – your Philly Cheesesteak did not disappoint!}
Joe’s dad recently had surgery and is thankfully back home now recovering!
* We stayed in Friday night, ordered takeout and hunkered down on the couch for a 2 hour Dateline.
We really know how to live on the edge.
* Saturday I tore down alllll of my Halloween and Fall stuff.
This year is a first.
I’m going STRAIGHT to Christmas now and skipping over ALL of my Thanksgiving decor. Before you say I’m crazy, I do have 2 good reasons….
1. We’ll be out of town this year for Thanksgiving and so I want everything put up and out before we leave town so that we can come back to a Christmas-y home.
2. The lights on my 9 foot pre-lit tree went out last year {ugh} and instead of buying a brand new one this year {they’re like $400-$500!} I am going to strand each and every branch with fresh new lights. With my mom’s help of course, because she is the stranding genius. Anyhoo – – this might just take forever because my tree is so big, so I’m getting started on it EARLY!
* Saturday night we attended a SURPRISE 40th birthday party for my cute sis-in-law Tauna.
We ate soups and rolls and s’mores outside and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect.
November in AZ is the start of our DREAMY season.
* We dropped by Crumbl afterwards to pick up a thank you gift for a friend…
Bad pic, but we tried their Midnight Madness cookie and YUM! it might just be a new fave.
{Joe said it tasted more like a brownie. I’m ok with that!}
* Churchey-church on Sunday.
I couldn’t make it through our closing song without tearing up.
Yet again.
This song just does it to me.
The words, the melody….it’s my favorite!
It seems like each time I sing it, a new line stands out to me.
* Sunday dinner at my parent’s house.
My mom’s roast and potatoes always taste better than mine.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
On tap this week:
If you haven’t gotten your ornament orders in yet….you’ll wanna do it sooner than later as I do sell out each year.
* Putting up the Christmas tree!!
{Which means technically, it’s AOK to start playing Christmas music now too, huh? 😃}
* Uber driving my kids EVERYWHERE.
Anyone else feel this way lately?
😝
I’m in the midst of deep deep cleaning my house so I can start with Christmas soon !!!!
