These past few weeks have been largely without schedule. Although we did have a few planned activities such as Christmas Eve dinner with the Worton clan, the ward Christmas party, and a Christmas Day gathering with the Cailliers, it was largely unplanned and wonderful! Bil and I did have homework and assignments to post, but it went fairly smooth without the added pressures of preschool and daycare and we both turned in our assignments December 24th happy to break from school until the second week in January. We were able to enjoy the spirit of Christmas sharing the 12-days of Christmas with a few families, completing the Pocket Change Project from preschool, playing with our children, and with a few last minute shopping adventures. Most of our travels were in Big Grey as snow and ice were evident throughout the second half of December and it was actually fun to travel squished together, without the DVD player, listening to Christmas music. The family favorites are “All I Want for Christmas is my Two-Front Teeth” as Emma lost five teeth recently and the song about wanting a hippopotamus for Christmas.
With the ringing in of the New Year, a routine is in sight and it was with a bit of sadness that I spent the day cleaning, organizing, and returning the home to her before Christmas-clutter status.
It’s always dark before the dawn! Storage tubes lined the family room, the hallway, one bedroom, and the back playroom! Where did it all come from??! Better yet... how am I supposed to get it all back into its storage space?
The final step of moving the couch back into the rightful position where Fuzzy the Tree, named by Wil, reigned for a blissful Christmas month brought a tired, but triumphant sigh of completion. Until next year...
