I started to put up our Christmas decorations today. I usually do it the weekend after Thanksgiving but we were away, plus it was kind of early this year, so I waited until this weekend. I do a fair job with the lights (no plastic Santa but I am very very close to doing it), some pine garland and bows on the outside. The inside is pretty much different every year depending on how much of our holiday crap we want to take out. I started out with plans to complete the outside but after 2 hours in 30 degree (19 with the wind chill) temps, I decided to come inside, build a fire and return feeling to my hands. I then went to work on painting (more on that later, but we just finished redoing some aspects of our kitchen, including repainting, and decided we need more work and are repainting our dining room and adding a chair rail).
So long day, starting at 5AM with child number 2 up, the gym, swim class for child number 1 and 2, lunch, mowed the yard which seemed really bizarre since it was so cold and the ground was rock hard, a Depot run to get the roping, outside freeze to death, inside warm up with paint fumes, a fire in the fireplace, child herding and some alone time because Patti went out tonight.
Tomorrow I predict…more of the same.
Just thought I’d share.
Hope you had a good time Patti.
You have any cheese to go with that whine Dave? Just kidding bud. By the way I didn't see a run in there anywhere.
