Catch-All Catch-Up Digest
I’m still trying to figure out what happened to the month of November for me. It’s already the start of a new week, and the last one of the month. I’m still waiting for that candid camera moment when someone lets me off the hook explaining that I’m part of a new TV show designed to trick people.
While I wait, I may as well play catch-up on what I think has happened in the past three or four weeks.
I watched a little devil and pirate trick or treat.
We had fun with back to back grandparents coming to visit.
We went to Vegas for Thanksgiving. On the drive there, my son was trying to figure out why there was a “Las” in front of Vegas. After a few moments of conversation he said, “I know. First it was Vegas and then something got lost and now it’s Lost Vegas.” At any rate, there was more found than lost in our trip from good food to fun with family.
It was especially nice to be with Grandma on a visit to the cemetary to clean and decorate Grandpa’s grave. We also enjoyed a movie with her before coming home.
The bribe of putting up Christmas decorations if they were good in the car, at church and for letting mom and dad have a nap arrived much too quickly! But there is something magical about the excitement of kids at a Christmas and I’m a terrible Scrooge.
So what have you been up to?

Love the Christmas tree! Very beautiful!
BTW, I received the anti-static Avon spray and it worked like a charm! Thank you!
Yay! I’m so glad to know that.
And thanks for the compliment. I can’t believe it’s time for Christmas trees again!

What have we been up to? Work, laundry, raking leaves, cooking turkey, laundry, Girl Scouts, gift shopping, laundry, raking leaves, switching out seasonal wardrobes (which means more laundry) carpool to dance classes, scrapbooking, sudoku, reading, and laundry. LOL!
Okay, at least I know I’m in great “tired” company!! Thanks so much for sharing your hectic schedule, you know misery loves company!

Well, I got a place cleared for the tree. But that’s about all. *lol*
That’s a lot of work by itself isn’t it?!
Bravo.

You almost got me with the Halloween photo. I thought it was an old post until I saw the Christmas tree. I’ve been busy too.
That’s been the theme of my life this entire month!

It looks like you’ve been plenty productive in the past month! Sometimes we all need to slow down on things like blogging. I’m considering scheduling all my December posts in one night, so I don’t have to think about them the rest of the month;))
Christmas is right around the corner!
What a great idea! Christmas is right around the corner!!

I love that photo of your kids decorating the tree. It is very beautiful and makes me excited about having some kids to decorate my tree next Christmas (and of course the cat with undecorate it! She just doesn’t get that it’s not all about her!)
Thank you! The wait is worth it! Can’t wait to hear all about your kids and your trees in the near future.
