This morning we were planning on driving to the Portsmouth ward, going to church there, then going to Megan's gymnastics meet in Dover. It would have been fun and we were all looking forward to it, but it snowed last night! We got about a foot, I'm estimating. We decided to still got to her meet, but a few minutes after we left the house Megan called and said she wasn't going today. She said the coach changed her beam routine this week and she wasn't ready. What a bummer. I don't blame her, though, because she's not one to do something unless she's confident.
So we headed back home. There was no church here because of the snow, so we are just hanging out for the day. We've read books, played games, worked on counting money, watched TV, etc. It's been a relaxing day.
Last week, I watched a movie called Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. It was about this guy who totally changed his health by drinking juices made from fresh fruits and vegetables. I bought a juicer and gave it a go. Yesterday was my first day, but it was quite a shock to my body. I drank the juice for the morning (it was kind of gross, but I'm hoping I get used to it), then a fruity drink a few hours later. By early evening, I was feeling really nauseous and I ended up throwing up. It was just too much at once. So I ate some crackers and some soup and felt much better. Today I ate Cheerios for breakfast, a juice for lunch along with a carrot and celery with peanut butter. Tonight I'm having a regular supper of chicken tenders, mashed potato, and broccoli. Tomorrow I hope to do the two juices again, and if I'm really hungry I'll eat a snack of fruit. I'll eat a regular supper. I don't know if I'll ever do the juices all day, but in the meantime I'll alternate.
We had Gabby on Friday night and all day Saturday. She is so adorable. She talks all the time now. She was so funny. She has such a great sense of humor for only being two. She gets a kick out of a lot of things, and just goes with the flow. She loves to play with my itouch, so I let her play for a little bit while I'm holding her. I don't want her to accidentally delete something. She also likes to help me do the dishes now, which was really cute. She wanted to rinse everything with the sprayer so water was going everywhere and she put everything into the dish drainer right side up, so a lot of water stayed in everything. It cracked me up, though. One time, she walked into my room, saw the fan and said, "Nice fan you got there." I totally cracked up. When we were eating supper, she was laughing at Nathan who was being really silly. She said as she was laughing, "Nafan is trazy. My dad tells me that every day. Nafan is trazy." We were laughing so hard. We took her to the ward Trunk or Treat on Friday night, but we didn't have a costume for her. She had a great time anyway. She carried around a pumpkin and got lots of candy. She loved it.
Dan and I did some more Christmas shopping yesterday. We are almost done with it. As soon as we get home from shopping, Dan wraps everything we bought. I haven't had to wrap any presents for 10 years now, except for Dan's. He's awesome. I don't actually mind wrapping, but he always does it, so I don't complain. We try to get it all done by Thanksgiving, so we can enjoy the Christmas season.
Nathan is a vampire this year for Halloween. This is his first year being something scary. I put white makeup on his face, black around his eyes, and red under his mouth so he looked like he just drank some blood. It was a pretty cool costume, although I still like the cute and innocent looking ones better.
