We're off to the valley today for my Mom's birthday, can't wait for a quiet day with family after a week of wakes and a funeral. It will be some much needed down time. I'm baking her cake now and the boy is hard at work making her some risotto for supper, I LOVE this cooking phase he is in We bought the grill from Velata, we LOVE it, it's kinda like fondu but without the danger of the hot oil, so we're going to do that with the risotto. Tomorrow is a full day of nothing except for portraits for the boy, school pictures were a bit ridiculous this year so we're going to get a package at walmart instead. I may head out and do some shopping for buddy tomorrow too

Rainy Ontario day. Had an up-with-the-baby-every-hour night. So we are having a low key morning. DH got up early with the babe so I could rest a little longer. Now him and the baby are napping and I am up with the other two!

May visit mom and dad to get out of the house this afternoon. We were supposed to go to the local fair. Not in this weather.

Tomorrow is our fall kick-off for church (start-up of all regular programs after the summer). DH is on staff as associate and youth pastor so tomorrow will be busy there.

I have already started digging up dirt on my buddy from other threads...yes detective work. So buddy, you may be surprised when you get your package. I am hoping it will be more personalized than expected!!! I already have three of your wish list items purchased on Amazon.ca and they will be arriving to me next week.

To the person who has me, there is a link to my blog on my About Me page if you have not already checked that out. It may give you a sense about me, if you don't chat with me regularly on SC.

Because these emoticons are awesome...

Well we didn't do any shopping! After painting at Home Depot I was a little blue, how is it I end up covered in paint though he's the one painting??? We went to the library to renew his card, got like 4 books he really wanted, and used their really cool new check out system. Just put the stack of books in the slot (up to 5 at a time) and voila! It was pretty cool if you ask me...

Sounds like everyone is excited to shop Any one have questions to ask yet? I see Julsie added her forgotten stuff, anyone else forget something on their list? Or just want to add something?

We could use some plastic straws, signed kiddo up for the milk program again and need to send a straw every day. Also J-cloths, I keep forgetting to buy them! But I think I have everything on my list that we really want.

Oh, for snack containers (we have lots) I found Jackson had the easiest time opening and closing the snap lids. Just in case that helps anyone else. He has a hard time with the rubbermaid stackable type that I use for my lunch, so we have his and mine Starfrit makes a good set I think.

I have started on my buddy's list. Lots of specific items. Will probably have everything by the end of next week. Was off work for 9 days bc of a death in the family and go back tomorrow.

Question for everyone... Are you planning on wrapping the items...

[becky_j]

We usually only wrap the Advent gifts so people can open the box and then have a gift for each day, no need to wrap these ones unless you want to

My friend posted a picture of an adult coloring book she bought, looks very cool (but not at all what I thought she was talking about when she said she had an adult coloring book LOL) For what I forgot to add to my list....an adult coloring book and colored pencils. I do not plan to wrap my gifts.

Buddy are you ok with items from the bulk barn and also do you have a favorite homemade treat you'd like?

[coupontime]

Read through the posts, looks like I'm starting to fall behind...anyhow shopping day is tomorrow hope I can get my buddy something cool that is also on his/her wishlist...

Doing some craft pieces for my buddy..Should have 1 of 6 done tonight, not the favourite colour on buddy's list since I picked more of a pastel palette, but I still hope he/she would like it

For me, preferably no food unless the foods I have specified... I got a 70+ year old here acting like a kid and sneaking for junk food all the time... maybe that's why I sometimes act like a party pooper...

I don't plan to wrap my gifts since I was never good at it in the first place

[army_girl29]

I want to add this to my list:
- Halloween garbage bag pumpkins
- Halloween trick or treaters bags
- Halloween decor for front door
- Halloween pumpkin carving test
- Mike and ike's
- scrapbook glue/stickers to put on pics

Hope that this helps my buddy!

[scbpooh]

1. anyone else forget something on their list? Or just want to add something?
Not that i can think of at the moment. My WL was pretty big so im sure my buddy should be ok As I said before i would LOVE my package to be mostly Halloween things off my list but thats up to my buddy to decide!

2. Are you planning on wrapping the items...
Probably not, as its already been said, that usually only an Advent thing

[army_girl29]

Also - I love outfits (a hoodie or a jacket would be amazing!) for Bella - She is about 12 pounds so usually a small will fit but if it looks really small then a medium.

Here is a fairly recent photo of her!
