Pre Christmas Chaos


I remember when we used to decorate the tree on Christmas Eve. I remember when Fall and all its glory lasted longer than 2 weeks. Sheesh people slow down! I started construction on my Winter Wonderland this weekend and am still working on it. I feel like I'm making more of a mess than any progress. I feel like we are way behind because we don't have our outside lights up. But I've got to remember it's not even December! So rather than stress about the gifts not bought or the garland in the box, I'll slow down a bit. My kids don't care if the candles aren't red or green. They want to just turn the tree on. And so do I.
Thanks again to all who read this and helped out with our Christmas decor renewal last year. As most know, the stuff we accumulated over the years blew away in a tornado 2 years back. But thanks to my generous friends, family and State Farm, we were able to re Christmasfy the Cann casa. But no ornament or knick knack that I bought means as much as the ones my friends and family gave to me. Thanks a lot and Merry Christmastime!!

VERY pretty! Are your walls a different color?

I, too, was stressing that I didn't get everything up right after thanksgiving and realized the same thing--Girl, we haven't even broken December yet! What fun is it if you do it all at once and then just sit and look at it for a month? ;)

Purty tree! We have our inside done, but we only have half of our outside lights up and taking our sweet time with the other half. Can't wait to see your display this year - I WILL drive up to VA to see it.

Mom returns

I'm back from a wild weekend with da' women. We had a blast in Galveston in an incredible house just a block from the beach. It was a welcomed vacation from the incessant chaos that I welcome each day. The kids seemed to have survived as well as love muffin. Although they did run out to my car to greet me as if to say Thank God you're home mom! Lessons Learned: I learned a lot about some of my mommy friends this weekend. Some of it was useful, some not-s0-useful. I learned lots of birth stories, love stories and bathroom idiosyncracies. I learned who's grossed out by bugs, chives, and most things slimy. I learned who likes to drive in the rain and who has to make potty stops because of driving in it. I learned who likes to talk about all things food. But I still don't know why American cheese isn't good for the kids. I learned that vacations are rough on the digestive tract (especially the lower regions). I learned that we all like to lay around in jammies and t shirts and welcome any opportunity to pop the bra straps at the end of the day. I learned that although we're mostly all past thirty, we can still be wearing stuff to hold our teeth strait and when you do you sound like my 2 year old with a binky in her mouth. And lastly I learned that moms, no matter where we come from or how we grew up we take care of each other and we never grow tired of birth stories and baby bragging and love stories. And I look forward every time I see my friends to learn more.
