All of the Christmas boxes made their way into our family room this afternoon. The kids oohed and aahed over every little thing. This is really unusual for us. Usually we're not so on top of things around here. Last year we took our road trip to Ohio for Thanksgiving so we were really behind by the time we got home. The year before we had just moved into our new home so we were still getting things all settled and unpacked. I think the year before that I was just plain exhausted. Our 4th child was still a baby so I was plum worn out with having had 4 kids in 5yrs. Anyway...I'm determined to have things done a little earlier this year so we have a while longer to enjoy the beautiful decorations.
Now that all the Thanksgiving festivities have died down a bit, I need to do some major cleaning around here. I am still in purge mode so it has been wonderful to clean things out. Amazingly enough, Jayden, is wanting to purge along with me. It's such a wonderful feeling to get rid of stuff, especially right before the holidays.
Wallpaper is off the walls in our entry so now we're trying to figure out how to scrub the leftover paste off the walls before we can texture and then paint. We have so many house projects it's very difficult to decide which is most important. The wallpaper was an easy decision since the cats were having fun using it as a scratching post. Little by little and its all coming along slowly.
Now I have a few magazines to thumb through and then it's off to bed for this tired gal. Have a wonderul Sunday!
