‘Twas a busy weekend with our little family and with today following a 5 day Thanksgiving break for the kiddos the morning is set to be a lovely cacophony of tired wails, whines and sluggish morning movement…

But it’s all good.  We put up the outside Christmas lights (after hubby finished painting the FRONT of the house), brought all the decorations down from the attic, washed and put up all the Christmas dishes, 2 children finished up school projects (a weekend long affair fraught with anxiety, stress and whining….oh, wait that was me….), picked up a kayak to borrow for a while from a friend AND…….took the family Christmas Card picture AND….ordered it.

Perhaps I will look at the kiddos’ Christmas lists now….I’m starting to feel Advent-Y!
