Tomorrow
We have family pictures scheduled for tomorrow morning, with a goal of getting a pic to use for our Christmas cards.And that's not a new eye makeup look I am trying out.
That's poor P's eye. On Sunday he and his buddy M were horsing around and P got kicked in the eye (accidentally). It is looking so much better each day, and I am really hoping that you can't see it in the pictures tomorrow.....
Off to find a matching bow for WC's dress before I pick up the kids. Tonight we are celebrating our 10th anniversary, which some Sasha Says readers may recall actually took place in mid-August. How sad it is this is our first chance to reschedule after I started feeling better?

My Christmas List
I've been making a Christmas list on TheThingsIWant.com, and I just noticed I have three cookbooks on there! I hope I'm not setting my family up for disappointment if they think I'm going to become a better cook. Don't want to set that bar too high.
And we all know I'm so not country-kitchen, but there's something about Gooseberry Patch that I think is adorable and endearing. Maybe I deep down inside want to be country-kitchen? Who knows.
What's on your list?

Dear Martha Stewart,

Dear Santa,

GDA: Amazon Sports Items
$0.23 for a basketball book- great addition for our present to our BIL who loves basketball.
Yes, I know it's a 2009 calendar, but it's $0.84 and I can brush up on my baseball rules to prepare for keeping score again next year.
I also ordered this Crayola Color Wonder Magic Light Brush for $16.12 for WC for Christmas (or maybe her birthday- can't forget about that early January birthday!). Looks mess-free and fun and has good reviews.
All that together was about $26 so I scored free shipping! Yay!

Curious George Live!
G didn't feel like being in the pic right at that moment, so that's his head.
If you have the chance to see the show, by all means, do it. The kids loved it! It actually lasted a little longer that I thought it would, but the kids made it with no problems. The show started at 7 and there was a 15 minute intermission at 7:45 and the show was over about 8:40.
WC did turn to me right after the show started and ask "Now, when does Lightning McQueen come out?"
Too funny!
Pineapple Neiman Marcus Bars
Anyway, here's what you need:
- 1 box Pineapple Supreme cake mix
- 1 stick butter (I use Parkay)
- 4 eggs
- 8 oz block of cream cheese (I use Philly 1/3 less fat)
- 1 box powdered sugar (I think it's 16 oz- but it's the box, not the bag)
- 20 oz can of crushed pineapple, drained
- glass pan (this is very important- must be a glass pan)
Combine: 1 egg beaten, 1 stick melted butter, and cake mix. Pat stiff dough in 9X13 pan that has been sprayed w/ Pam.
Combine: cream cheese, 3 eggs, and entire box of powdered sugar. Stir in drained pineapple. Pour this over dough.
Bake at 350 degrees 30-40 minutes, until top is golden brown. I let them cool and then store them in the fridge.

Is It Already Time For Christmas Candy?????

It's Beginning to Smell a Lot Like Fall
Right now I am enjoying the Pumpkin Harvest & Fall scent. (Note: Dear Febreze, there's no need to remove past season's scents from your website if they are still in store and still in season. It seems silly to me that you removed your Fall 2009 scents when you introduced your Christmas 2009 scents....) Moving on.... right now these are $5 at Target and you can use a $2 off coupon from the most recent P&G coupon insert, making these $3, which is a FABULOUS deal.

Christmas Monkey
I have always loved Curious George and even did P's nursery in it. He's just so darn cute.
I picked up the "Curious George: A Very Monkey Christmas" DVD a few weeks ago at Target, and they kids absolutely love it. It's a great story but I can't get the damn Christmas Monkey song out of my head.
All kidding aside, if you don't have this in your holiday collection, pick it up. Target is selling it for $12.99 this week, which is the same as Amazon's price right now, and then you can watch it tonight and get the song in your head too.
What other holiday movies do you watch at your house?
