• call me Scrooge again, I dare ya

  Maverick says last night in his big boy voice “Mom, I know you have been super busy, but do you think we could put the Christmas tree up soon?”  OUCH!  Yah, that hurt and was so seriously sad and true all at the same time.  Then Garrett tells me this morning in his “I’m almost getting ticked off” voice “Miss Patricia told me if you don’t put the tree up, she’s going to come over here and do it for you!”  WOW.  I really am a bad mother this time of year. 

  So, today God said…Abby is going to have an accident in her cage and Kevin is not going to have time to clean it up at lunch, so DeEdra is going to have to come home early from work, then after she cleans up Abby’s cage and gets it back in the house, then she will have some extra time to sit down and then it will hit her that she has time to put the Advent pockets up!  Thank you God from all of us here at the Folmar house.  As you can see (Omi will be proud 1 day early even!!!!) I got a little stuff done for Christmas.  The tree is in the living room and we will start decorating tonight. 

  

  

  Omi made them.  One was Kevin’s when he was little and then she made a new one for Garrett to have one too.  I complain about them too much.  It really was fun putting them up today and deciding what went in what day’s pocket.  The boys will be so excited when they get home. 

  Reminds me to keep it simple and slow down a little.  Merry last day of November to everyone.
