Home Sweet Simple Home


Getting cold

1:43 PM, 2006-Nov-24 .. Posted in Family Life .. 3 comments .. Link
Today we began the winter ritual of bringing out the flannel sheets.
The girls dressed their beds in fun flannel fabrics. Happy snowmen on a red background for Maiden and silly skating polar bears for Sassafras.
Mr. Conductor is still in a toddler bed and has the flannel sheets from his crib days which I put on last week.
All that is left is Mr. Steady and I. And I'm waiting. What am I waiting for? The heated mattress pad that Mr. Steady said I could purchase when I go to the store next week. Yippee. You'd think we could generate enough heat ourselves . . . . . . LOL
We have a programmable thermostat and turn our heat down to 63 at night. Which to me, is down right COLD! Last year it just didn't seem like 2 sets of flannel sheets was enough.
I am lookingforward to being ble to hop into a toasty warm bed.

Amy, I see your family likes oatmeal so I thought I would send this to you. I tried to cut and paste...I don't know if it turned out ok. This is a recipe we really like, and it makes your house smell good.

Great Recipe

Amy, we have had a dual control electric mattress pad for a couple of winters. Martha Stewart would call it "a good thing". Our bedroom gets very cold at night and even with piles of blankets, we were cold. Enjoy! Blessings from the Big Sky Country........Denise (prairiemom)

The Wagner Clan

My Husband (DH)-
Mr. Steady

My rock and biggest supporter. The glue that keeps the family sane. He is like deep, deep water- it takes a lot to see a ripple.

DD12- Our Maiden in Waiting- By the world's standard she's a 'tween'. By ours and the Lord's- this is the time of her years of preparation. She is eagerly learning what it means to keep a home and daily becomes more and more of a helper to her Mama.

DD9- Sassafras My Sassy middle child. She holds her own so sweetly and has such an empathetic heart. While real Sassafras is used for flavoring- She is that added sweet flavor to our family.

DS5- Mr. Conductor- The train aficionado in the family. He's the little man and best helper around! He's also the biggest Oreo fiend in the family.
