Holiday Time...

We are having a nice day off today... We slept in til 9am, that was so nice... We had breakfast of fried eggs and muffins; pumpkin, banana or chocolate chip... Son3 has been enjoying every minute that he can on his computer games... Son2 is bored and doesn't know what to do with himself, but bug son3... I have been happily cleaning... The front room is dusted and vacuumed and son2 started bringing in a bit of Christmas from the garage... The above picture is of the table as you come in the front door... I have swept the kitchen, wiped down all the counters, cleaned up school papers, started the dishwasher, and now just have to wash the pans... Dinner will be easy of leftover chicken from last night...

I have cleaned off the dining room table and vacuumed... Hubby brought in all the donations to Goodwill yesterday so that is no longer sitting in the dining room.... The picture is of our center piece... I have had candles burning all day.... We weren't able to have a fire last night as it is non burn days right now due to the fog and overcast, making for bad air days... We are supposed to have rain tomorrow and Wednesday... I vacuumed and dusted the family room and moved all the spring knick knacks to the back and pulled all the snowmen forward... Last night after dinner hubby decided to hook up the new digital box to the family TV.... Hook up he figured out easily... All of us fighting over the remote to figure out how to get it to work and program everything, yea, that wasn't fun, lol... By then it was almost 8pm and we were all grumpy and tired... So finally got it all programed, so began checking out the new channels... I went around a few times, then son2 went around a few times and then hubby went around a few times, like they were going to find something that I hadn't already clicked on, lol... Not to mention there was nothing on and we had shows to watch that we had taped... but they were too mesmerized by the new digital... So by 9pm, I woke up, put son3 in his room with a movie and went to bed... Of course then hubby and son2 followed me, lol, and son2 went to his room and hubby and I watched Numbers...

Cornucopia that son2 and son3 put together this morning...

Hubby is outside putting the Christmas lights up on the outside of the house...

Son2 was outside supervising hubby but now he is back bugging son3 on the computer....

Now it's time to get back to my chores... Wash the pans, move the laundry around, the checkbook needs attention again and start on the Christmas cards... I want everything almost done by next week, so in December I just have to wrap and enjoy the season...

Happy Journaling...
