The closet door was stuck closed. We had to take the doorknob off before we could get the door open.

Today was a busy day and night. First my friend and I went to baby shower bingo same as last night we could win prizes and we got lunch. Then I had my pajama party with my friends. Girls night in! Lots of fun I know we needed this since we are stay at home mommies and needed a break.

Everyone gets new jammies (normally on Dec 1st), but we've had so much going on, that tonight was the first night we got to wear them!

Tonight was spouses club Christmas bingo. I went with my friend they had free daycare and free dinner and yummy desserts and a chocolate fondue fountain! my favorite. Lots of chances to win but neither of us won. But it was a lot of fun and we also got a free cute ornament. And we got to take a pic with Santa! I love how they do all these free fun things for military spouses.

First day of Spelling Club, today. Apparently, the spelling words that they were practicing were 'Bryce' and 'Annie is cool'.

Gabriele is shopping for Christmas presents!

We bought Shelby's birthday present early & it came today. It's a dwarf clementine orange tree. I potted it & put it in his room. He's looking forward to taking care of it & watching it grow all winter long.

Went to another party still a little sore but I didn't want the kids to miss this. It was at the botanical Garden. Festival of lights and we got to see it for free on a trolley. And then go inside for a little party. James and Em made a edible snowman. They loved that when they were done making it they could eat it!

Yum!

Today my friend took me to go get a procedure done on my back. It was a diagnostic but it was very painful and felt like it took forever. They injected my spine with big needles to get down to the nerves to numb them by my spine and they did this 12 times. I was in a lot of pain and my friend showed up with flowers and a balloon. It was so sweet. Then she took the kids out for a walk and to the park to tire them out for me. But the results were that I need to have the procedure done and it's painful since they have to burn the nerves.

We broke out the winter coat today. First time that he has worn it to school this year (will there be room in his locker for it?)

What a great sign! This is at Kohls - although, there wasn't a car parked in either spot.... : 0
