December 7

I am just like Fleta wondering where this year has gone.
It seems like only a week ago I was taking Kenzie back home for the summer and now it is almost Christmas. But what a blessed time I had while she was here.
When we were decorating we forgot to put up the singing and dancing Santa and Mrs. Clause. Benjamin enjoys them.
I tried to take a picture through the window. At night you can see Mrs. Clause from the street. This was a good place for her. I remember I bought these when Austin was crawling and he was afraid of them. That year I put the Christmas Tree in the formal Living room and I sat Mrs. Santa in one door way and Mr. Santa in the other door way and Austin did not go near the tree.

There is nothing sadder than looking at the deflated Santa. He just falls across the side walk....Dead...
It is pretty at night though when all of the things are inflated and the lights are on. Ingrid is having a Birthday Friday and then next week Austin and Michael both will be having one.
Today I promised the boy I would take him lunch and eat with him. He wants Pizza. There is not a pizza place open in time for me to pick one up and get to school so I think I will go buy those ready made crusts. We have all of the other stuff needed. He likes those. Actually when I told him no place was open for pizza he told me to go to Wal Mart and get the crusts and make one. So I guess I will.

I did the laundry yesterday. The house is Messy. Missy and I have papers scattered everywhere. I guess I need to take a few minutes and pick up. The house would look a lot better then. It is not dirty just messy. I remember years ago I would set a timer for 15 minutes and do the 'flight of the bumble bee' picking up stuff and putting it away. I could clear out a lot of stuff in just 15 minutes. Now I do more of the minute waltz....
