Call Me Martha

I made a batch of the yarn snowflakes I saw on Martha Stewart's website. The idea was listed in the kids section of the site and I don't quite see how this project is kid-friendly...unless you're willing to have your entire house covered in Elmer's by the end of the project. It was definitely a sticky job and I don't think I'll be making anymore. Eight is enough. I even managed to get a glob of glue in my hair. They look cute, though, don't they?

Our tree is definitely baby-friendly. Save the lights, there is no glass on it at all. BB hasn't really tried to grab the tree at all, which I am very thankful for. What's also great is that it's not a prickly tree. The ends of the needles are all rounded. I wonder what kind of tree it is.
I've been trying to make a bunch of pom poms to attach to gifts for my family's party on Tuesday. I'm just going to bake some great chocolate chip cookies for the younger kids, package them, and attach a pom pom and/or paper globe (yes, more paper globes) to each. Us adults (I'm an adult now) are doing a yankee swap (which I thought would suck until my stepmom informed me of some of the AWESOME gifts that are in the running). Even though there's the swap, I'm hoping I can make some time to make some ornaments for my stepmom and favorite aunts. I know they'll appreciate that sort of thing. The globes are a cinch, but I have many more pom poms to make...

We got some new Netflix movies in the mail. I just finished watching The Devil Wears Prada, and, like the book, I wasn't too impressed. I don't think I even finished the book. So predictable and overrated. The fashion was fun to see in the movie and Meryl Streep was great (of course), but the differences between the book and the movie bothered me. How could they change the boyfriend's job from inner-city, do-good elementary teacher to a line chef? And what is the point of that? I am in love with Adrian Grenier, but come on. We also got the second Pirates of the Caribbean, but maybe I'll wait for Dave to get home from work in case he wants to watch it too.

I officially weaned BB off one bottle. We're down to three 7 oz bottles a day and we're up on solids. She's doing very well. I have it too easy with her. One of her new things is standing on one foot (while holding something, of course). She's pretty silly.

It's time for Bottle #2, so I'm going to run. Later!
