Lately ...

Whew, it's been a whirlwind!

• I attended a craft fair over the weekend, and had lots of fun looking at the neat items. With that being said, I only purchased one handmade item - a sock cap for Cooper. My other buys were Pampered Chef and Scentsy.
• I totally got in trouble for buying the Pampered Chef! When I told hubby I purchased a can opener (we've been needing a new one and I like my mom's Pampered Chef) he groaned. Turns out, he was planning to buy me one as a stocking stuffer for Christmas. Luckily, he hadn't placed the order yet.
• So as of now, no buying anything for myself until mid February :)
• Speaking of Christmas, I finally finished the first tree - Cooper's :) It's red, blue and silver and has a penguin blanket as the skirt. So far, so good in terms of baby and the tree, but then again, he doesn't spend a lot of unsupervised time in his room, either.

• The diet started back up yesterday. So sweets were tossed.
• I'm also planning to do some working out and utilizing that treadmill ... now just to find the time!
• It was in the 60s and 70s all weekend and amazing! Unfortunately we were on the run and didn't have a lot of time to just enjoy.
• I'm about 80 percent done with my Christmas shopping!
• Highlights from Coop's well check last week:
• He is 21 lbs., 7 ounces - 30th percentile. Totally normal for a very active boy, she said.
• 29 inches, which has him right in the 50th percentile
• Right where he should be or a little ahead in terms of speech and movement.
• We had our family/Christmas photos taken yesterday. LOVE. I can't wait to share :)
• Hubby's work Christmas party was on Saturday, and among other things, I made spicy cayenne pretzels. They went over so well, so I thought I would share the recipe here:
• You need: One bag pretzels, oil, cayenne pepper and 1 packet ranch dressing mix.
• Pour the pretzels in a brown paper bag and coat with about 1/4 cup of oil. Add ranch dressing mix and about 1 T. cayenne pepper.
• Shake about every 15 minutes for an hour.
• Enjoy :) Of course if you like them more or less spicy, just adjust the amount of pepper.
• Someone decided he was King of the House over the weekend. Unfortunately, I wasn't quick enough to snap a picture when he was standing on the boxes with the hairbrush in his hand like it was his sceptor.
