You've ever seen those little flower basket looking things that you can put your infant in on long flights? They're called carrier cots, or in-flight bassinets.
I just reserved one for Ellie.
Disco!
I'm so excited for me and my arms.
Also, person sitting next to us... you are welcome.

We're doing crafts dammit!
I just googled ideas for paper turkey crafts stuff... Since we're hosing Thanksgiving I'd like to decorate just a little, but since Thanksgiving is not a thing here (the pilgrims never went to Sweden) it's not like the kid who is officially old enough to bring home crappy crafts from preschool will contribute to this holiday.
So, we're on our own. After I pick her up from preschool in exactly 1,5 hours we are going to buy orange, brown and yellow paper, little eyes, a glue stick, and then it's on. I hope she'll be into it.
It's very obvious, and toddlers are like bloodhounds, when it comes to faking excitedness. Like if I tell her Hey! we're doing a fun project with thread and needles and yarn.... she's bored after two seconds, because I am. On the other hand she knows like five different yoga poses and can spontaneously drop down and do push-ups in the middle of dinner.
So crafts isn't exactly something we do regularly, kind of like eating fish.... I just tell myself she gets that taken care of at school. But today we're doing it, dammit!

One month till departure
We leave for Idaho in one month. Dylan and I both feel pretty stressed out about it, considering what all we have to get done before we leave. Move, finish classes, work, etc.
Louisa on the other hand packs her bags for Idaho every morning and then cries about not being able to go today either.
Could be a long month.
Next Saturday we are doing Friendsgiving at our place, back by popular demand. Same crew as last year, mostly. Plus kids. Last year we got rid of them and had fun. This year there's just too many of them so we'll let them in on the festivities and it will be a different kind of fun.
We haven't found a turkey yet. Also our freezer is too small to hold one so we either have to get a real small one, like chicken size, or buy it like the day of.... I'll let Dylan worry about that. All I really care about is the green bean casserole.
