Eye doctor appointment, shopping and a birthday

Tweet

Monday and Tuesday my 2 year old and I made crafts to hang on our lilac bush outside. I never decorate outside but I thought decorating the overgrown bush in protest of its removal will be fun for each holiday. My husband and stepson finished grinding up the venison. They made mild sausage links, mild sausage rounds, bagged mild ground sausage, hot sausage links, hot sausage rounds and bagged hot ground sausage. 70 pounds of it in total and they also made venison jerky. I’m so glad all that is over and done with! Tuesday my husband drove back to Bala Cynwood for his final follow up from his eye surgery in August. Everything healed well thankfully! Under his eye is a fatty area that’s been driving him nuts wondering what it was. It’s basically like a woman’s lower abdomen that gets a pouch after a C-section. Cutting through all the muscles causes them to never be the same. That night my stepson went for his first exercise meet up with the marine recruiter and two other kids joining the military as well. He said he’s so out of shape that when he had to run a mile he almost threw up. Wednesday my girls and I went Christmas and grocery shopping. We went to Ollie’s bargain outlet, Walmart and the Dollar Tree. We also stopped at a library where my oldest bought an armful of books on sale. At 6pm we went to my mom’s for her birthday. I bought 3 different kinds of ice cream, two bottles of soda and made her Red Waldorf cupcakes but used store bought chocolate and vanilla frosting which you can see in the photo didn’t turn out how I hoped they would look but they tasted better then I expected. My husband got a raise at work and handed me $100. I said awesome now I can get my parents Christmas gifts so then he handed me another $100 and I said awesome I’ll be able to get my kids some as well without worrying so much about how little I’ve made online.
