Barefoot, pregnant, and washing dishes by hand.

   Could this statement get any more cliche? But that is exactly what I was doing last night before I went to bed. Why was I doing this? Well, since our dishwasher broke yesterday I had to wash up a day's (and a half) of dishes by hand. I know, there are millions of people out there who never even had a dishwasher to begin with, and here I am complaining about doing something that they have to do every day. It's not even that I hate washing dishes by hand. It's all about timing! This "wonderful" dishwasher surprise comes only a bit over a week after Daddy crashed his truck. And on top of it half of my oven broke too. How is that possible to have only half of an oven. Well, my top heating element is not working now, so I am running my oven on bottom heating element only. My last bread came out too brown on the bottom and not browned on top. Plus it wasn't baked in the middle.And all of this only few weeks before Monkey In-Waiting is supposed to arrive. The timing is just really off!

Sunday Snapshots - Thanksgiving.

   Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to my Canadian viewers. I hope that you either had a wonderful dinner with family or are having one tomorrow. This year we couldn't join Daddy's family for the annual Thanksgiving trip since it's about 4 hour drive from home. I am just too far along in my pregnancy to be that far away from my midwives in case something happens. But we did manage to have a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with my sister, my cousin and their significant others. It was a lovely dinner with the best of company. I also squeezed in Girly Monkey's birthday cake as a desert. So it was a double dinner: Thanksgiving / Birthday celebration. Here are some pictures from our wonderful dinner. Remember to check out Money-Wise Monday tomorrow.

Lovely company over for dinner
