I still have yet to get my Christmas decorations put up, so I set aside time yesterday to do just that! We had breakfast with my Aunt and cousin at Cracker Barrel (Yummy!) then were coming home to clean and decorate. I had a committment to go to at 2pm but figured I wouldn't be too long and it gave Dave time to get the tree up and the lights on while the kids napped. Well, that party got postponed so I was quite happy to have more time at home to get a few extra things done around the house. Yeah right! Dave did get the tree up, we ran a few errands to look at prices and get ideas for outside Christmas decorations but since I have been fighting a cold and other issues, I just wasn't really up for doing all that I originally planned. Shocking!
I stayed home from church today since I am (again) fighting a cold and Belle's teething cold has turned into a full-fledged cold complete with green gunk and red eyes. I actually got a decent amount of laundry done before she woke up, but as soon as that girl gets out of the crib it is almost impossible to get much else done without her "helping" in a not so helpful way. I was folding laundry on my bed and she was playing in the playroom, when she decided to come in and join me. No problem, she usually finds a few things to occupy herself and seemed to not notice the nice, clean, folded pile of laundry next to where I was standing. Wonderful! I seriously thought I might actually get a whole load of laundry folded while she was awake. Not so fast! She grins at me, crawls over to the bed and as she is getting more and more excited, she stands up and grabs as much clothing as her little hand can hold and laughingly pulls it all onto the floor. Needless to say, I quit folding laundry then and we went and played for a while. I have Aaron all to myself a few times a day, but I rarely have time where it is just me and Belle, so I was able to enjoy some play time with her. We played, laughed, cuddled and had a marvelous cold, winter morning at home.
I had planned for Dave to get the lights on the tree today while the kids napped (Aaron really needs one since the game doesn't start till 8pm tonight and will skip a nap tomorrow since I work) and I have the house work almost done except for a few things (like vaccuming which I will do after we decorate the tree- why vaccum before?) and I made a pretty good size dent in the laundry this morning so I was feeling pretty good. I figured I'd hop on the treadmill, get showered, go to the mall with mom for a quick trip (she called and asked me to go with her....twist my arm to go to the mall, right?!- especially since I have a Victorias Secret gift card to use... :0) and then get back and have time to cuddle with Dave before the kids got up, then decorate the tree, clean up and be ready for friends to come over for the game tonight. Yeah.
My sinuses were driving me crazy so I was re-thinking the treadmill and considering skipping straight to the shower for some much needed relief from the pressure. I figured I could do that, go to the mall if that helped, then get back to do the rest of my planned afternoon activities. Then the phone rang. Aaron was invited to a friends party at Chuck E Cheeses at 3pm, it was 1:40. So, I called mom, told her the mall was a no go since Dave would take Aaron to the party, Dave dashed out to buy gifts and Aaron ate his lunch and is now sleeping till it is time to go. I threw together a sandwich for Dave and now have to go hunt down wrapping paper for the gifts, get the boys out the door and I guess then I will get to my cleaning, laundry and decorating. No relaxing afternoon with Dave or shopping at the mall. Bummer. I am glad that I get some time at home with no one around. Hopefully I will concentrate on being productive instead of wasting time doing silly things such as blogging... :)
Happy Sunday to you all!

At least your tree is inside your house. At this rate, we will have to wait another week to get ours in & decorated. And as far as putting up the rest of the decorations? I may have to wait until December 20th to do so. Just in time for our family Christmas party. At least school work will be done & we won't have to try fitting that in. Oh yeah, except we will have science fair stuff to do. Ah, the busy!
I just got my tree in last night and it wont stand straight. Think we can borrow Dave’s electric tree chopper thingy tonight to fix that? If we don’t get that tree decorated tonight it’ll have to wait til Sunday and of course… FOOTBALL!
