Good morning!
And I mean it- it has been a good morning, so far. Today I have the early shift with our early risers, who insist on racing the daylight to see who can get up faster. Max and Lucy always win. And this morning Max dressed himself in a bathing suit and Lucy picked out a sundress. Looks like I'm not the only one dreaming of warmer places!
Remember when I mentioned that I'd like to slow down a bit? Well, it hasn't happened yet. Is your schedule full too?
Here is what we've been doing-
I got to spend a whole afternoon catching up with my friend Monica, who I've mentioned before here. Monica lives in the dirty south, which is just too far away, in my opinion.
It was a treat to see such a dear friend!
Lucy's school hosted a "Daddy and Me" event, and Devon and Lucy came home with a lovely gingerbread house. Can you tell that she is very proud of their finished product? The gingerbread house is safely displayed on Lucy's dresser, where Max can't try to eat it (again).
My friend Sara hosted a wreath-making party- isn't that such a fun idea?? I got to bring the kids along, and there were delicious snacks and such, and the wreath workshop looked like this-
I had to get some help finishing mine, because someone needed mama to hold him close, but check out my wreath!! My first-ever Christmas wreath! I love it :)
We have scattered our Christmas decor around the house, and there is already a collection of Max-damaged items waiting to be super-glued. Devon pulled ol' fakey out of the garage yesterday and we made her pretty-
We decided that we need to graduate to a larger tree- maybe even a real tree- but for now we'll get one more year out of this one. The ornaments just about outweigh the tree :) It was a group effort to hang the ornaments- Grandma helped too.
And finally, it was date-night! We dressed up and went to the Sleep Country Christmas party.
So, things are festive around here, and we are feeling pretty jolly. I hope that you are too!
