Play Date & Elfster

Yesterday, the Turtle and I went to A's house for a little playdate/cookie baking session. ::looks around, sees no cookies:: I mean, how can you bake when playing with such cute little men?

We had an AWESOME time. Turtle was a little fussy (Hello, Teeth? Any time you're ready, just pop on through, mkay?) but he settled down to play in N's exersaucer (coincidentally, the same as his), and he was quick to dismantle the exact same parts that he does his own. It was pretty amusing. Sorry, N.

And A said that N was so pooped from his day that he got awesome sleep - so it was a win for everyone!





When I got home, there was a package waiting for me: from my "Siberia" Secret Santa. Yay! D gave me such great stuff: holiday cupcake papers and sugars/sprinkles and both of the new Batman movies on DVD. Funny - DH saw and stormed off in the closet. I hear "Thanks, D. Thanks a LOT!" and a lot of rustling and rumbling. Hmmm. I wonder if he got me the same movie?


However, what I wasn't expecting was two tickets to see Wicked on my birthday, from DH! I had no idea it was coming. I wanted to go while we were in NY, but tix were starting in the $150 range Me, (crappy seats) and he couldn't understand it. Me? I think it's totally worth it, but at least I'll get to see it here. Yay!

In other news, the Jags really screwed up the AFC playoff picture by giving up the game in the 4th quarter last night. Sigh. It's going to be a few tense weeks around here while our two teams battle it out.
