I have always been a list person. Always. But I am not that organized about my lists. They may be on my phone, on a sticky note, in a notebook, in my mind, on a random sheet of paper. Typically I have a small yellow notepad and my favorite markers and I keep my lists by the computer.
But the holidays seem to make those lists grow exponentially:
-buy gifts
-wrap gifts
-decorate
-stockings
-pack (we always travel)
-holiday parties
-bake
-take Xmas card pics
-address those envelopes
-mail those cards
-class parties
And the list goes on... and both kids start basketball next week, Jack goes back to baseball conditioning and Riley starts futsal.
Talk about crazy-train... it's just getting started.
But- I can check one thing off my list: CHRISTMAS CARD PICTURES! WHOO HOOOOOO!
We took them this past weekend. Haddie hammed it up. Jack- not so much. In fact, I was outside taking pics of the ladies and Todd found Jack inside on his phone. Shocking.
Here are some outtakes:
This past weekend was gorgeous out- the temps dropped Sunday but Saturday was so nice. Hadley loves to build a fire with Todd. It's their thing. She is totally into it... can you tell?
Riley wasn't around all weekend- birthday sleepover party Friday and then she spent the day and night with Addy Saturday night.
Keeping up with Jack's social calendar proves to be entertaining at times.
Friday: dinner out, high school football game
Saturday: fishing with buddies, big birthday party for his good friend Conner
Sunday: chilling at home and football banquet
All of the kids at the birthday party:
The 7th grade football team:
The boys did the mannequin challenge (not so well but they did it):
Can't believe it's three days until Thanksgiving- unreal.
December will be packed and I hope to enjoy it- we have a super fun week planned after Christmas and I can't wait for it!
Until next time....
