I have the same worry with cat carriers and that one lone litter box; I know the minute I get rid of them, a cat will come into my life, so I'm keeping them forever. <br /><br />Yay for new grass and clean beds! Aren't flannel sheets the best invention? <br />I don't really know anything about fireplaces aside from the one we have in GA has a remote control. HA. Is pellets better than wood or gas?

He called me a few minutes later and asked if he was seeing things correctly. I think after about a month it has really sunk in and we are grateful for God's immense sense of humor.

I found out at 15 weeks and was in total shock for the entire ultrasound and didn't know how to tell my husband because he never goes to my OB appts (because they are usually routine and boring)Joanne @ Our ABC Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01058789135966108669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937303870758455964.post-7006482088913669592022-11-15T15:50:33.674-05:002022-11-15T15:50:33.674-05:00This WAS a productive Sunday.

Two college boys come home for Thanksgiving and I am going to require them - mostly Tank, to organize their stuff before eating anything. My kids also love making pizzas. JP's semester abroad has gone by so quickly. Not sure if I shared yet, but Tank is studying in Limerick next semester.

This year I am also giving both kids monogrammed bath towels so we can stop the endless pursuit of "where's my towel?!" :) <br /><br />Our house is so old that our upstairs is boiling while our downstairs is freezing. We keep the house set at 62 because otherwise we melt! First snowfall today here... blah.

I'm not sure I can give experience gifts only to my kids, maybe a soft start with a mix of experiences and tangible gifts? And now I'm wondering if the sheets on their beds are flannel or fleece...either way they are really soft and definitely doing the trick, I may have to leave them on all year also!Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11451797365712728579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937303870758455964.post-63125318954831814372022-11-15T08:47:26.574-05:002022-11-15T08:47:26.574-05:00Flannel sheets were a life saver for us.

Could not figure out why he wouldnt sleep through the night for months till I landed on flannel sheets. First night on the bed last year and he slept 10 hours! Thats all I keep on his bed anymore. Plus a big fleece blanket that I then put his comforter on top of. <br /><br />We love experience gifts over here too! My mother in-law is getting is a zoo membership for Christmas, my mom is getting us a Carnegie museum membership (we live in Pittsburgh) and my sister is getting my son one for Living Treasures (a smaller petting zoo type place) so he can go with my niece all summer (she is 19).
