Well we did MORE Christmas shopping… I think we are about done the kids… in Canada LOL I still need to stop at Ikea to get Emanuel some fingerpuppets. I think I will want to stop at Michaels too to get some craft supplies to make my mom something. We do still have the majority of the US kids but I am sure we will take care of them soon.
Mom kept the boys until after 10 so we could go out and get shopping done, have a quick dinner and stop by at Darryl and Sharon’s (his supervisor’s) for a short visit and to pick up a blanket they had extra of. It is the same as the one she gave me back when we were over at their old place and Emanuel spit up on the blanket we had brought. He loves to sleep on top of the one we had and I have been looking everywhere to get another for when we have to wash this one. I guess she got it in the city at a Winners.
We put up the paperchain I made for the twins in their bedroom. I think it looks rather nice though I need to add some more to make it all the way across the room. Hopefully by the end of the weekend we will get our "twinkly lights" up and maybe some of my Christmasy nicknacks. I am hoping to continue de-cluttering the place. I am starting to see a difference… our bedroom is full of not yet wrapped Christmas presents but it is tidy. We still need to find a curtain rod to put up to make a division between our bed and Emanuel’s crib. I am not sure that will get done any time before Christmas. Not with cookies to bake and kids to deal with.
So I will just keep putting away and getting rid of and hopefully by the time Christmas is here this place will feel homey and relatively clutter free…. hey I can dream can’t I ???
