Ten on Tuesday

1. Penny update:  still waiting for it's arrival.  Looks like we will be taking Kelsea to get an x-ray this week.

2. We went ahead and saw Fantastic Mr. Fox on Saturday.  It was fantastic.  I think Wallis and I might have enjoyed it more than Kelsea.  Maybe if there was a princess thrown into the mix she would have been more excited about it?

3. While Lorelei was napping on me I asked Wallis to take some Thanksgiving pictures of the family before it got too dark.  This is what I came home with.  Not really what I had in mind to remember this Thanksgiving by...

I think Kelsea might be a better photographer than Wallis...

4. Inspired by an article I read on Thanksgiving, I spent my Sunday afternoon furiously making over our refrigerator.  I must have been feeling guilty about our Thanksgiving feast, but whatever the inspiration was, I'm pretty pleased with the result.

Here's the full length view:

And a close up of the yummy, healthy stuff:

5. Wallis was nice enough to make this delicious recipe from the same magazine.  We (actually that would be Wallis) is going to try this one on Saturday

6. I ate a cricket today.  

Are you asking why?  All for 100 points.  Want to know what the points are for?  Okay read on.  We (my office at work) went on a very thorough scavenger hunt through downtown Long Beach this afternoon.  This included a session of Dance, Dance Revolution, a game of Skeetball, a three seat bike ride, dressing up in a sumo wrestler bodysuit (hilarious), many pictures of random paraphernalia and several stops to stores/restaurants to find our next clue (12 to be exact).  I must admit the cricket eating place (Hot Licks) was my least favorite, and the "sour cream & onion flavor" didn't really help the fact I was eating a dried-up, crunchy bug.  Was it worth it?  Yes, we won. :-)

7. Lorlei will no longer let us spoon feed her (so much for all that baby food I just bought!)  This is what it looks like when she feeds herself.  

8. Due to the fridge makeover consuming my Sunday, I didn't quite get to the Christmas decorating as planned.  We at least got the advent calendar up tonight, so Kelsea will be happily surprised in the morning.

9. I still have two more November magazines before I get to my December ones.  Does anyone else have this problem?

10. Uh-oh, Kelsea is awake and crying and coming up the stairs...which means she will be snuggling with us tonight.  Does anyone else have this problem?
