Welcome December
What a week!
New baby has arrived my nephew's little daughter Romy has joined us a month in advance. She looks so cute on the pictures I saw! 6,4 lbs and 19,3 inches.
Grandkids came for supper on wednesday and thursday and slept over on Thursday night.
Contract was signed at work (had been waiting for that so work can start), so next 2-3 weeks will be over the top. 2 cws started working this weekend and I was supposed to help .. but...
Friday got a message from brother after work..dad was cutting wood with circular saw mom decided to swipe the dust off... her glove caught in the machine and she was cut at 2 fingers. Had a hard time reaching someone to get more details but finally they sewed her up and she will see plastician next week probably... skin was all jagged so was not pretty to look at. she was lucky she could have cut off her hand... she just didn't see the danger anymore (alzheimr). She keeps tearing up her bandages, will be longer for recovery. as long as she doesn't pull stitches out. My heart just stopped when I saw on the text.. mom, ambulance, will call before I unlocked it and read the whole message saying 2 fingers were caught in machine.
Then Saturday was the party for Xavier's bday. They had fun. DDIL went all out and got 2 blown-up games and ordered pizza in local community center. there were at least 20 children + parents. Supper was at their place afterwards, just us, her sis, bil & daughter, and my daughter and her family. Grandkids all came back to sleep here.Sunday was December 1st so elves arrived with small chocolates for the 4 grandkids, it was so fun.. there are 2 five year olds and 2 3,5 years old so it was magical for them. DS and family left before lunch (swimming lessons for grandkids) and DD and family left after lunch.
After they left started some housechores and at 3:15 no more electricity. It came back at 9:20 this morning. We had supper at restaurant and took our merry time before coming back. Had some candles, propane foyer and I had my ebook. This morning they were saying it would come back at noon so we emptied fridges and put it all outside (it was cold outside). Had my last tai-chi class for the season and when I came back dh had taken our humongous microwave out of its' hole (had to wash the hole so that was a good thing) saying it didn't work anymore. It is more than 30 years old... finally I tried it and all came back, yay! want to buy an air-fryer oven but only when microwave will be in same oven so I can get rid of the old one. One day...
Was to work this morning but couldn't because of no electricity... will contact boss if they want me to get connected this afternoon of just work tomorrow (Monday is my day off). If not will get stocking stuffers out and start seperating between 4 grandkids and wrapping.
DH just told me he is picking up grandkids for supper. They are leaving very early Wednesday morning for their 1st vacation in the South (Punta Cana). We will be dog-sitting.
