#orphancrew

I spent Monday grocery planning, shopping and cooking. I made 4 batches of white chicken chili - 1 for us, 1 for a sick friend, and 2 to freeze for when Lu & crew come watch the girls when we go on our big trip. I’m making extra of our fav recipes so no one has to cook. 

I had a fun delivery from Amy and she said I could open it. 

She sent us all sweatshirts that say “Be nice to me, I’m an orphan,” and on the sleeve it says #orphancrew. Isn’t that the saddest thing ever? We’re such a pathetic bunch of little orphans but at least we’re finding humor in our sadness. Because in spite of the jokes, this really sucks. 

Adi drove to piano so I could finish making dinner and deliver it. And then while D was at ballet I went to Lowe’s and set up a carpet measurement and paid for our cabinet installation. We love home improvement projects. 🤣

Adi made up our hot chocolate stand digital flyer and it’s a cute one this year! 

I just found a picture from our first year back in 2016 and everyone was so little and cute!

I was especially proud of this cute one. 

I finally ordered our Christmas cards. I’m keeping up on the gift wrapping as it arrives. I’m all planned up for the various parties and events we have coming up. I finally decided on our Santa gift and it’s gonna be a fun one. I’m keeping my eye on a stroller/car seat combo for Christian and Jeanne, and the girls still need to buy a gift for Matt, but other than that I think I’m sitting pretty. Late nights and early mornings really help with Christmas readiness. 🤣
