mmm. tuffles
There's too much good food floating around these days, and my weakness is, I always want chocolate after lunch. We just so happen to have chocolate truffles in our house from costco. The kind that are covered in a light dusting of cocoa and and are silky and chocolately delicious as they melt in your mouth and create a lustrous burst of heaven.
It's been a snowin' lately. Church was canceled for us yesterday. We took Adriel out to play in the snow, which he totally loved. It was light and fluffy snow, though, so we couldnt make a snowman. Also, our backyard has a slight little slope in it and I biffed it walking down. You know, the kind of biff where your feet go out from underneath you and you land flat on your back. Not so fun when you're pregnant. Not so fun at anytime. I'm sure it was funny to watch though. Only Adriel was there to witness it. Kyle and I showed him how to make a snow angel, and I didnt really think about how hard it is for me to get up off a normal flat surface without snow gear on and snow all around me right now. Kyle had to heave me up. That's ok, that's what he's for, right? When we came in, Adriel had a bath with Kyle and then went down for a nap. I'm starting to think I shouldnt have baths with him anymore because last week he asked me where my penis is. It's hard though, because he always wants to come in the shower with me lately. When to draw the line???I dont know. After his nap we headed over to Katie and Brents. Kyle and Brent took the kids out tubing at Dover. Katie and I visited and tried to come up with Christmas Eve plans. Adriel had a blast. We had dinner and the kids played for a while. Kyle took Adriel to Ann's to spend the night so that we could watch the finale of Survivor. I'm happy with the way things turned out. Brent made caramel corn, which of course, I had too much of. When it came time to leave, their parking lot thingy was covered in a sheet of ice. Our car is so bad in the snow this year. It took us several tries to get out because of a slight incline. We figured it was easier to back out (for some reason) and Kyle had to take three running tries at that. Like go as fast as he dared in order to get over the speed bump and have enough momentum left over to get us to the street. I was starting to think we weren't gonna make it. I hate driving in the snow. Our car is scarey and unpredictable.
It was nice that Ann had Adriel this morning. I slept until 8:30, got up, painted my toenails (with difficulty, but they needed to be done) showered and then bathed, shaved the legs while letting a hair mask sit on my hair. I even got to do my hair. I need to be ready for labour and that includes having smooth legs and nice toes. I still don't feel ready for the pain though. I'll never be ready for that. And I'm dreading it.
Christmas is in the air!! I love it. I just wish it would last longer. It always comes and goes so fast. The snow outside is so pretty. It's clear and sunny today and its making the snow sparkle and the world so bright.
