This girl LOVES to cook

Thanksgiving was great and was spent with my Mom, Dad and brother Rob in Woodland Park. We had a great time lounging around and eating good food. We celebrated my brother's 21st birthday early so we could give him presents. We just had so much fun being together. The only bummer of the trip is Jarrod ended up getting my horrible cold. He's still getting over it but seems to be moving through it much quicker than I did. I think it took me just about 3 weeks to get over it! Oh the fun of being pregnant and sick!

Makayla said something really funny this morning that I thought i would share. I was getting her breakfast and I handed her a container of yogurt. She turned to me and said "thanks mom. You saved my life." Okay! I have no idea where that came from but it sure made me chuckle!

what we're up to!

Makayla decided to wear a trash can on her head for a morning. Fortunately, it was a clean trash can!

Cooking with mom!

My most recent project

We have been busy around here with projects. Makayla has taken up a big interest in cooking and wants to help me all the time. When she sees me getting my apron out, she immediately will go get hers and her stool. Her latest thing is wanting to crack eggs. Yeah, that's not going to happen for awhile! She has also been star-gazing every evening with her dad. She loves looking at the stars. Jarrod is going to take on more painting...poor thing. He needs to get a job soon before I make him paint the whole house!

Job update: No job. :( He had a potential offer last week but it is looking like the company is needing more time to make some internal adjustments with staff before they bring him on. They say that he is the one they want to hire but it probably won't be until end of this month or early December. Agg. The waiting is brutal.

Thought I would also show off my most recent knitting endeavor modelled by Makayla's baby doll! I am making a few pairs of these for some gals at work who are also having boys. They are really easy and fast. Love it!

Our princess

Looking cute!
Pre-sugar high!

This was Makayla's first year to trick-or-treat and she had a blast. She loved getting her fingernails painted and putting a little makeup on. She had a grand time trick-or-treating with her dad. I stayed at the house to man the candy bowl. We were out of candy before 7:45. It was pretty chilly so Jarrod took her to only about 8 houses but she got plenty of candy. She also loved handing out candy to the kids. She announced which kids were "scary." It was pretty cute.
