Weekend

We had a very nice Thanksgiving. Yesterday and today I have been working on decorating our home for Christmas. It's always a lot of work, but I LOVE it when it's done. My goal is to get the tree up tonight after Jack goes to bed. Craig is finishing projects so that we can list our house this week!!! I will put pictures on when it's listed. This will be a major accomplishment for us. I haven't been putting many pictures on lately because, 1)Our computer is so slow and 2)I honestly forget about it with everything else going on right now. I will try to post some pictures sometime this weekend.

Monday

Jack is well. Craig and I, not so much. Craig has a bit of the flu bug. I also chilled in bed last night until about 3 am. I just have a sore throat, which is manageable. I'm using lots of Lysol in the hopes of keeping Jack well since he just started feeling better. Craig and I rarely get sick. I guess it was time. We made a lot of progress on the house this weekend, although you might not think so if you stopped by. It looks like a tornado hit our house. I don't have much energy at the moment, so it might be like this for a while. I truly am thankful for a house, clean water, my relatively, healthy family, food to eat, clothes to wear and the list could go on and on. Just so much for which to give thanks this year!

Lately

There is a lot going on, but probably not anything, anyone else would find to be too exciting. Jack had the flu yesterday. I thought he was better this morning and now he feels warm and is laying on the couch. I hate it when he is sick. Craig just called from work and said he isn't feeling great either. Wonderful. We have been working like crazy to get our house ready to put on the market. We were hoping to get everything finished up this weekend. That won't happen if Craig isn't feeling well. I have been looking at houses with the realtor and we have found one we really like. We were going to wait until spring, but a couple houses on either side of us are for sale or will soon be for sale. We are predicting several rentals close by. That along with several other things in the neighborhood prompted us to go for it. We'll see what happens. This was definitely not the time of year I would have picked to move. That's how it goes, I guess. Now I'm trying to decide if I should go to all the work to put up the tree and all decorations now. I know it will help the house feel homey, it's just a lot of work and will be that much more to pack if we would move in December. That's what we're up to right now. :)

Just Plain Busy!

This week has been crazy. There really is too much going on right now. I've reached a point tonight where things look dismal. Maybe 7 hours will change things.

Oops!

I forgot about the eyeliner pencil I had left in the diaper bag after Halloween. We had used it for Jack's whiskers. He found it. :) When I saw his face, I asked him if he was trying to look like a lion. He said. "Yeah." I'm not sure what the green highlighter on his face was for. Thank goodness for eye make-up remover.

His Size

I let Jack look at my piccolo during a lesson the other day. He was trying to blow into it and play while I played with a student. I'm not sure Craig will approve of Jack playing the flute.

Whenever Possible...

Jack wants to look like Daddy. :)
