day 26.....

i saw this quote the other day on Lynette's blog and LOVED it.

never mind the fact that the Narnia movies are my favorite movies of all time.

i just LOVE the truth of this statement!!!

He's the King and He's SO good.
my niece, Taya bought me this super cool dry erase board. (thanks Tay) so pretty.

this quote is a great way to break it in....more great quotes to follow!!

the best money, my parents ever spent on my children. no really, the best money.

who would've thought $16.00 could bring SO much joy. HOURS of joy. on night, long after the boys were in bed, i caught the hub playing.

(so, my hub thanks you too)

he looks so old, this half asleep, middle child of mine.

my parents were kind enough to let me borrow their house while they were in China.
ok, they didn't technically give me permission but i knew they would. plus, it's attached to my house so i guess that gave me a little less guilt about barging in there. it just seemed easier to lay it all out on their floor to separate it before putting it all back up in the attic.
this year, for the FIRST time in the history of my married life, i organized my Christmas stuff before storing it away. i mean, CRAZY lady organized. i wrapped each and every one in tissue paper. when i ran out of that, i improvised and used coffee filters. hey, it worked. yup, it did.
i was a little obsessed over this. all like colors must go together.
red.
silver.
green.
and of course the boxs & boxs of ornament's that have been hanging around for 15+ years,i'm sure they've never felt like they mattered to me. after all, they're part of a hodgepodge, so i must not love them like i do my pretty stuff. well, it's kind of true. i do like my pretties. still, there is something to be said for old, sometimes ugly ornaments. let us not forget the whole sentimental value. cuz they've got that.
any who...my point being, i love all my Christmas stuff but come Dec. 26, i'm ready to pack um up. this year i sorted, packed (properly!!) and boxed them up. my crazy organized sister would be so proud.
i can tell i took my sleeping pill about 15 mins. ago because i'm starting to rabble on about stuff that will make very little sense in the morning. maybe i better stop blogging now for the night?
oh, what the heck....this could just be getting interesting.
