So Far So Good...

However we are far from out of the woods just yet.  School is closed here, and that means that talking Avery into going to pre-school for a few hours knowing that Olivia is home is a waste of breath.  I am working from home, keeping my peepers on the beauties and watching Riley track the blowing leaves in the backyard (I may have to shut the shades soon, he is about to lose his mind).  But the rain is calm, some wind gusts, but nothing too bad, Riley will even willingly go outside to pee and takes his time, that is proof the rain is no big deal, the dog doesn't pee in the serious rain, he holds it.

Last night we dined on Loaded Baked Potato Soup and a French Baguette from Panera, it was delicious.  And I whipped up a healthier version of Apple Dumplings (1/2 the butter, 1/4 the sugar) and I almost ate the entire pan (because they are healthier, it just made sense, right? HA!)

Then after dinner we started making our Christmas Wish Lists...the Toys R Us big book of Toys arrived last week, so we had to take some time to walk through it so we could give some Family & Friends good ideas for the girls...

Brad hunkered down a bit and put the cleaned out Mason Jar to good use...

And this morning Riley snagged Avery's PB&J Toast, caused a few tears, but for the most part, all is right with the world. We are thinking of all the first responders out there, who are working to keep everyone safe.  I just read an article/report about a large sail boat sinking off the OBX with 16-18 people on board, the Coast Guard is responding...scary!

For now, the girls are going to continue watching Spooky Buddies (Thanks Amy & Ellie for delivering some new movies for us to watch).  I am curious to see what tomorrow brings weather wise.
