pillowcases

First steps. Our bedroom is pretty much cleaned out except for a few of my bad habits of piled projects that can't be helped this Christmas season. I have been trying to figure out what kind of bedroom to create for Larry and I. Pinterest helps greatly. I can close my eyes and picture it, but have yet to see the overall look I want... but I do see bits and pieces of things I like and figure it will all just come together as we go. On a 'slim' budget of course. First off, I want pillows. Not fancy pillows. I want fluffy soft bed pillows. The kind of pillows when you look at your bed, you want to jump in and curl up, never to leave... the kind you think about during the day. I went quilt shopping with the girls and picked out my favorites. One yard of fabric each. No waste. Six pillowcases. Five minutes each. So far... so very good :)

wisdom teeth

Kelsie got her wisdom teeth out on Friday. Impacted. All four. She did pretty well. Ransom taught her how to finally swallow pills just days before. What we didn't plan for was her being able to swallow pills with a very numb mouth... a memory I will never forget as she repeatedly tried while making a dribbly mess, trying to laugh with her lopsided smile and not being able to.

Memories:
Pain killers= upset stomach= no pain killers. Leaky frozen vegetables juice= stinky Kelsie. Refried beans. Chocolate pudding. Soup from Ash & Paul. Homemade Mac and Cheese from Katie. Hallmark movies. Prison Break. Hash browns. Wearing Josh's socks for comfort. Snuggling in a bunch of blankets on her couch bed in the family room. Surprisingly little pain. Pictures she won't let me post. Tooth Fairy.
