Last Wednesday a coworker of mine had a fun lunch time activity for all of us. We all made turkeys made of candy. She is so clever and creative. I had a blast making this for Axel. Axel enjoyed eating it more than he enjoyed the turkey creation itself.
Thursday was a long day. The Szolushas got up early and were on the rode to the base of Mt. Hamilton well before 8am. Keith raced up the 17 mile climb while Axel and I drove up it. After cheering daddy on we had a quick interview with Indie TV and then headed to Galt for an asian cuisine dinner at my Aunt Susan's house. We had a beautiful drive down the backside of Mt Hamilton and then continued on another twisty rode for a total of almost 50 miles of back roads. We were 5 miles from I-5 when Keith and I heard a cough, then a burp and before I could fully stop the car the projectile vomiting. Poor Axel got car sick for the first time. No wonder why he didn't want to eat his lunch. Luckily, I brought several changes of clothes, but was bummed his cute outfit was ruined for the day. We had a great time visiting family,but were glad to make it home just after 8pm that night.
On Friday, we ordered our new fake 9 foot Christmas tree which should be arriving by the end of the week. In order to satisfy my usual tradition of decorating for Christmas the weekend after Thanksgiving, Axel and I decorated the rest of the house and will save the tree for when it arrives. I was so excited to put up some of the new decorations that my Aunt Cindy gave me. Here is my first Nativity scene. I am proud to finally have one to display. Axel and I also love all of the other decorations that my Aunt passed on and had a blast putting decorations around the house. Axel was more than cute when he was picking out what decorations he wanted for his room and bathroom.
Axel and I run errands all of the time together. Every once in awhile he plays this game where he sits in the car. I tell him I can help him down and he can come with me or he can come in by himself when he is ready. this weekend he decided he wanted to stay in the car. I left him and went inside. Here is a picture of him finally out of the car screaming mommy every minute or so. I was watching him from inside the house waiting for him to come in on his own. Finally, I was able to coax him in without having to go outside and pick him up by telling him that I was going to decorate the ginger bread train by myself. It is funny how stubborn he is and the power struggle games he comes up with.
Despite, the above incident, we had a great time decorating the ginger bread train. I purchased it last year when everything was on sale. it worked well for the most part, except the icing. I couldn't kneed the icing to a smooth enough consistency to spread. It came out in big chunks and we had to spread it by hand. It also dried within a couple of minutes because it was so old. I think I would purchase an old kit again despite the frosting issue.
I was telling my coworker about the sea room mural in the baby room. She said that she had the whole sea room theme of bedding, lamp and valence. I picked it up last week and was super excited to see that it matched really well. This is the first time that we have a fully coordinated, matching room. I guess it should be fitting for a girl :)
It is hard to believe that she will be here in just a few short weeks. I am hoping she doesn't make too early of an entrance because it will be nice to enjoy Christmas with Axel first. Besides, my dad and Sonia don't arrive until January 12th, so we won't have anyone to watch Axel until then anyways.
Thanks for reading!
