it was of course fantastic. good food, wonderful family and a full belly. nothing really can beat that can it?
So then there was the weekend. The kids had already had the week, or the majority of it, off, so that was a bit of a fiasco. Everyone was by then bored with each other and figured that fighting was the way to solve that. The boy has somehow contracted a cold, which has lead to a barky cough/ earache like it does any and every time he gets a cold. Hopefully he's well enough for school tomorrow, we shall see.
Hannah clipped her nasty toenails finally. I swear I have never seen nastier toes in my life. Upon clipping a toenail flew off and into her eyeball. That was a hard thing to do. Get a toenail out of a child's eye while trying not to laugh, because I mean, HOW does that happen anyway?
All of my kids have been able to go to the store and get each other gifts, only Promise left to go there... I am making plans for my annual "cookie decorating party" and this weekend I took the time to set up all the Christmas decorations! I feel so festive, except when I am stuffing gifts back under the tree, or putting ornaments back up on the tree, because the dog gone cats have been playing under there. Other than that I love it. Its pretty. Oh and other than the fact that the strand of lights on the mantel were touching the wood burning stove apparently and melted, so now they do not work on 1/2 of the strand, which of course is the part of the strand that is the FRONT. So I have to buy a new strand and re hang those. Other than that, all is well with the decorations. I am ready to start my baking of goodies!
Ho Ho HO bloggers! :O)
