With dishes in the sink and a dirty little kiddo running amok I sit to right and listen to Spotify because my foot is hurting and it's raining so I needed a time out. I've got the back door open and it's nice a cool in the house in fact it's getting quite chilly but I figure it can't hurt right now as I'm about to have to oven going.
You see the week before Christmas is always bustling with activity. Cleaning and organizing, baking and menu tweaking. I've got so much going on! I've got other people cooking but it was funny how one person said..." If we cook vegetables to bring over they will be cold by the time we get there." They live 5 mins from me. So I just said well bring them and I'll cook them! What the crap?! I thought the whole point of sharing the responsibility of cooking on Christmas was so that I didn't end up doing it all! Oh Well! It wouldn't be the first time and it won't be the last that I do it all!
NikiRhe decided she needed a snack and I've yet to figure out what I want to make for dinner if I even want to make dinner. She is sitting at the table with a dry erase marker, her elmo counting place-mat and a piece of pizza. I love this girl! It's so much more fun to plan Christmas with her in our lives! I'm so happy being her mommy. Now if I could just become better at the domestic part of being a stay at home mom I'd have it made! :o)
So we've got about one dozen peanut butter cookies to finish baking today and then will bake more for "Santa" this weekend. "Wifey" Barb is coming home and maybe bringing Misty with her so we will have at least two extra people here for the 3 days before Christmas. I am so blessed and I know it!
We are so thankful and grateful to God for our little family.
