Christmas Countdown - 2016

[snowflake22]

Another batch of apple brownies, Snowflake's apple cider bread, and apple raisin muffins baked and cooling. I'm running out of baking supplies now though. So I think that's it for today.

Enjoy all of the fall treats!

Thanks snowflake!!! It's going to be interesting!

You're welcome, Holiday!
I just had to pick up a new prescription for my girl, too. Too many for my taste, but they're helping her so I am very grateful <3

Oh my, I just realized that we are officially ONE MONTH away from the beginning of the Christmas Season!!! That sounds fantastic. I do not know how I missed this in my original post. Wow! Sooooooo close!

We're almost there, friends!

Good afternoon, everyone!

It's a windy day in Ottawa. Winds are gusting to about 60km/h! That's fast! I am only teaching for the afternoon today. I was able to wake up and drive Kim to work, as it was raining pretty hard outside, and then take a nice hour and half nap this morning. I really needed it. Of course, I would rather have worked the full day, but at least I will have had work every day this week.

To say that I have been busy would be an understatement. On Tuesday I once again coached the Girls soccer team. They didn't win, but came so close and had great efforts. Yesterday, I coached the Boys soccer team. We came really close to upsetting a team in our first game, and then lost our only playoff game, which was too bad. The boys fought hard, too. They were easy to coach and very sportsmanlike. I couldn't ask for anything better.

It's Friday Eve already. My apologies for not yet pulling my weight in the Christmas Blossoms thread. I haven't been able to get out at all in nearly two weeks. I might be able to find a few things tonight, however. This weekend is also looking pretty tight... Kim and I have a wedding to attend on Saturday. We then have our engagement photos on Sunday afternoon, and the Packers game is immediately after. Busy. Busy. Busy! ...Hopefully it will slow down shortly. I really want to enjoy and have time to see this Christmas Season Blossom!

I hope everyone has been enjoying their Thursday!

Good afternoon, Brent~
Hope your afternoon at work goes well!
Glad to hear that both of your soccer teams played hard, and were so gracious. They sound like wonderful teams to coach.
Hope you & Kim have a great weekend! Go Pack, Go!!

It is Holiday...just amazes me to think that. Hope it goes slow.
It's going to be in the low 70s (not 80s) here next week. It's almost Friday!!!

Yippee for Friday Eve!!!
Not sure how to make the time slow down, so I guess we better just enjoy!

Thanks, snowflake. They were simple teams to coach... especially when you haven't really coached/player soccer before!

It should be an exciting weekend. Same to you, and Adrian! GO PACK GO, indeed!

So many meds for our little girls!!! But like you said - as long as they are making/keeping them healthy, we do what we gotta do!

38°F!??!? I am so jealous! Enjoy your evening. We're going over to mom's for supper. I think she's so happy to have power again, she wants to "spread the wealth". LOL
