birthday!

Happy birthday to doggiesushi, who is now older than I for one day shy of three months.

I don't really have anything terribly witty to say about JC getting older (the "JC/December" jokes are getting to be older than he is, too), so I'm just going to eat my bologna and inform the world that the Zweeble knows what "nocturnal" means (thank you, Disney Read-to-Me Books). Which seems an approprate bit of knowledge for him to glean on John's birthday, for a number of reasons. :)

(no subject)

Tonight, Team Zweeble is going to make Christmas cookies. I am very excited to see what dealio comes up with when he decorates his cookies.

Now, I was just going to buy some more pre-made Pillsbury gingerbread dough and use it, but now I can't find it anywhere. So today during naptime I made gingerbread. And, as always, I am dubious about how it will turn out. But it's setting up in the fridge, so we will find out this evening if I am progressing in my baking skillz, or if this little project will be filed with the Cocoa Puff Mound o' Doom and the post-hurricane gingerbread house.

We're also using the last of the sugar cookie dough tonight, so the Zweeb will have sprinkle cookies. I was a tad concerned about the dough, as it's been in the fridge a while ... but I'd shoved it to the back, and Z. has been playing with the settings, so it was frozen. (We had frozen eggs Saturday morning. It was grand.)

The boyo is taking an extra-long nap today. I think it's because we upped his Zyrtec dose. He's been congested since before Halloween, so we've done the Zyrtec, the antibiotic, the Zyrtec and the Nasonex ... and while the latter is helping, it's not going away. Now we have an appointment with an ENT in January, and the congestion got worse when the weather got cold again, so I checked on the dosage and I figure we'll do this until the weather warms up again (that would be tomorrow).
