Crazy!  I had so many ideas and plans for the holidays and now I find myself scrambling, as usual.  I&#8217;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&#8230; er, I mean decorating the walls of the dining room.  I haven&#8217;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&#8230; not sure how it&#8217;s all going to fit.  We may end up losing a toy shelf or recliner chair.  No one will be happy!  Just kidding&#8230; mostly&#8230;  major furniture gets priority over a Christmas tree.  I&#8217;m hoping to get the cleaning done this week and do some decorating this weekend.  Lex loved decorating the neighbor&#8217;s trees.  Not sure when we&#8217;ll get one of our own.  I can&#8217;t believe we used to wait until Christmas Eve!! <\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Christmas Eve&#8230; 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 &#8220;Christmas Eve&#8221; my little girl says &#8220;Christmas EVE?!!?! I&#8217;m not Christmas!&#8221;  I tried to explain that &#8220;Eve&#8221; is her name and a word with another meaning, but she still giggles whenever she hears Christmas Eve. :)  I love her!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that tomorrow is December 1st?
