24 days til Christmas!

After getting to work, looking at my calendar...I suddenly realized there is only 24 days until Christmas!!  We haven't even set up our tree this year yet! It's one of those years that I am trying to de-clutter and organize our home...and the thought of unloading that stuff seems a little overwhelming to me right now... However I have two little girls that ask everyday if this is the day daddy can get the tree down (Or brooke asks how many sleeps until daddy's home). So this weekend will be it...we'll HAVE to get that thing down and decorate it! The girls love to see all of their ornaments collected over the years (although it usually leads to argument, because Hannah has 4 more than Brooke, as she is 4 years older...ah, fun). So this weekend will be it...or Saturday will have to be it! (Cuz Sunday we will totally be busting out our Vikes jerseys again and going to the Vikes vs Bills game!!)

Also looking on my calendar I'm realizing that their are only 3 (yes 3!!!) weekends until Christmas shopping needs to be done...which would normally be no big deal...except every single weekend we have something going on!! As I mentioned before we are going to get the girls new bedding (and a couple things for their rooms)...but I'm thinking we should probably get them something fun from Santa...could you imagine waking up Christmas morning being 5 or 9 with no fun toys under the tree...I'll have to come up with something! I'm not even sure if Hannah still believes in Santa..or if she's just not sayin, cuz she still wants the presents (I remember being in that stage! I wasn't gonna tell my mom and dad that I knew they were Santa...cuz then I wouldn't get the presents!) Oh the mind of a child fascinates me!

So in my already stressful life...that I'm trying to calm down...I realize Christmas is really right around the corner!! AAHHHHH! Maybe online shopping will be the way to go this year!?

Dear calm, organized life....where have you gone???

At least its Thursday! That means after today there's only one day til the weekend!! Yippee! Joy to the Weekend!!

XOXO,
