Thursday December 19

I got most of the stocking stuffers done today, got all the jammies done, and a few more little things.

I started putting together this years frame ornaments.

I found some cute wood cutouts for a $1 at walmart, and I plan to add some cute scrapbook paper.....

Or not.

We will see.

The kids came home and we had a few meltdowns to begin with......

Which was to be expected since Cassi was up at 2:00 a.m......and out on the couch at 3:00....stomping around above my bedroom at 4:00, and Porter up just after 5, and Elsie up at 5:30.

It was not great.

At all.

But tonight was not bad, as I expected it to be.

Porter had fun making different pictures for the girls and me out of brown lunch sacks.

The girls helped me cleanup a bit.....

And Madi helped Cassi with homework.

Things went pretty smooth tonight.

Gives me hope :)

Again, I love the heater thing.

They run to it when it turns on.

Porter isn't happy, because the girls are sitting closer than they usually do, but I made them scrunch in for a picture :)

Oh, and there is our Christmas quilt that we rotate each night.

It is still not bound.

I should get around to doing that this year.

We will see.

You know me, the great un-finisher!

If it works, just leave it.

But I would like to finish it off......

*****

And I just love my Nativity.

It took me years to find it, but I sure am glad I found the right one!
