Penultimate Vacation Day

This is our penultimate holiday vacation day. Wm has been off all week, so he's really dreading the return to normalcy! But, we made the most of it! Steve woke up and went to play soccer. Because, UH,  it was like 55 degrees and SO SUNNY. Most gorgeous November day ever! One person was not happy about it, though. I got up to go to the bathroom and saw Flip sitting by the window watching Steve pull out of the driveway. Then he turned around and gave me this look:

Daddy's Boy

I called him in to snuggle with me and he had all of Steve's spot to spread out in. So, he got over it quickly.

Steve who?

While Steve was off playing, Wm and I took Flip for a super long walk to enjoy the weather. Then, after lunch, Steve and I redid the pantry. We had those wire shelves that allowed for only jars...and A LOT of jars. Wire also wasn't the most attractive. While Wm and I were at IKEA, I got these babies for under $10/each! They match with our house so much better, allow for more flexibility, and just look way snazzier. (Although, Wm says they are "ugly and weird.")

I'd been telling Steve forever we should do this and he thought I was insane. When it was done, he goes, "Wow...that DOES look so much better! I love it!" And I was like, "I wonder whose idea it was?" Steve's response? "The sun even shines on a dog's ass some days." So...yeah.

Speaking of a dog's ass: Flip believes himself to be a lapdog. He is NOT a lapdog. He is 55 lbs of muscle and farts.

Then, because it's late November and I had no idea it was going to be so warm we could even open some windows, I made soup for dinner. So I had stock simmering on the stove all day. The soup was good, even if it would have been better on a cold day! And, after dinner, we finished our holiday decorating! We drank hot chocolate, listened to Christmas music, decorated the house and put up the Christmas tree. 

Holiday cheer accomplished!

Tomorrow, we are going to see Wonder with Mimi (who, we hope, is germ-free and feeling good!)
