Happy Thanksgiving Week! We had our first week with NO after school activities. As much as I look forward to that, it always takes a week or two to get "used" to being fully at home again. We have had a lot of messes, and chaos, and not really getting our chores done.....as we adjust to the new normal. We had a family meeting to discuss hopes/plans for the holiday season, and to serve as a reminder for being respectful and mindful of others in our home and community. One of my friends recently reminded me of a comment that when your child is 5, they seem to be 5 going on 15. BUT, when they are 15, they are 15 going on 5. So, with a lot of patient reminding, hopefully we can keep our eyes focused where they need to be this season. Love God, and love your neighbor. I really do not need any more details than that until we all get THAT down really well!
Also caught up a bit on our "memories." I am a packrat by nature, and with 4 kids, I might eventually qualify to be on Hoarders if I do not stick to following the Flylady and my goal to not save everything. The boys and I decided a few years ago to take pictures of their works we were not keeping so we could show their kids one day. So, we played a bit of catch up yesterday....they loved it!
Ah....I hear Christmas music in the background. That means my sweetie is ready to help get everything out to start decorating. Florie's first Christmas, praise God!
