Did you know that tomorrow is December 1st? Crazy! I had so many ideas and plans for the holidays and now I find myself scrambling, as usual. I’m in a bit of a cleaning frenzy because I have to have a clean, uncluttered house before I can get out box after box of Christmas decorations. Lex and I are negotiating on what to do with his artwork/wallpaper currently cluttering… er, I mean decorating the walls of the dining room. I haven’t even told the kids (or hubby for that matter!) my rearranging plans for the living room. Need to get a tree in there somewhere… not sure how it’s all going to fit. We may end up losing a toy shelf or recliner chair. No one will be happy! Just kidding… mostly… major furniture gets priority over a Christmas tree. I’m hoping to get the cleaning done this week and do some decorating this weekend. Lex loved decorating the neighbor’s trees. Not sure when we’ll get one of our own. I can’t believe we used to wait until Christmas Eve!!

Speaking of Christmas Eve… I started playing Christmas music the other day (and singing it and I love that the kids love to hear me sing!) and every time a song says “Christmas Eve” my little girl says “Christmas EVE?!!?! I’m not Christmas!” I tried to explain that “Eve” is her name and a word with another meaning, but she still giggles whenever she hears Christmas Eve. :) I love her!
