hello

Hello, 9 days to go!!!!! So fun this year, so hectic but SO fun, last year I was pregnant on the holiday! Course when wasn't I....lol I am having tons of food allergy problems which always come back after each pregnancy. I like being pregnant, I can eat for once, not into being this skinny. Maybe I am not used to it...lol

Kids are thrilled and counting down the days, I did good, spent less than any other year but got GOOD lasting gifts!!!! I am ready.

days

There are days till the holiday and I am busy trying to get things ready and trying to stay patient with 6 in the house, 24.7. The weather is crappy and days turn into nights here. I would die for a friend!

CINNAMON DOUGH ORNAMENTS RECIPE

4 oz cinnamon
1 Tbsp ground cloves
1 Tbsp ground nutmeg
1/2 c applesauce
1 Tbsp white glue

In a heavy-duty plastic bag, mix the ingredients listed. Let your student knead the dough in the plastic bag until the mixture is smooth. Roll out mixture to a 1/2-inch thickness and cut into shapes with the cookie cutters. Use a drinking straw to punch a hole in each ornament. Dry on wax paper for several days, turning each piece over every day until both sides are dry.

Run a ribbon or yarn through the hole. The ornaments are ready to hang! (Remind him that these ornaments are not edible!)
