Well, it’s Monday again.  We had a really nice weekend, which makes me feel okay about the start of another week.  Yesterday I made pot roast for dinner and we went to the festival of the nativity in the evening.  Thousands of nativities and glowing trees and live Christmas music, I think it’s my favorite thing we’ve done during the holidays for a long, long time.  Also, I feel like I need to publicly acknowledge that my oldest three children didn’t have to be told once not to touch anything.  That probably means we’ve arrived at some kind of milestone, but I don’t know what.  The milestone of not having a panic attack anytime we go into a glass shop?  I’ll take it.

As a side note: I made sugar cookies yesterday afternoon in my Kitchenaid mixer, and for the thousand and one-th time realized how much every single person should have a quality stand mixer in their kitchen, and also by the way, these kitchenaid ones are 25% off at Target right night now.  So there’s a little public service announcement for you.

Happy Monday!
