Or not...I started a Christmas journal, did two days and have put it aside.  I'm busy making mittens, listening to Christmas music, trying to figure out why I'm so behind this year.  My tree isn't even fully decorated!  In past years the kids would bug me to put up the ornaments...this year, the box is still sitting next to the tree and a few ornaments are hung here and there.  I guess I'll have to break down and finish the job by myself. sniff

Kyra and I have trashed out the basement in a week long crafting/school project marathon.  She took the creative portion of her literary terms project literally and went to town altering a book leaving scraps of paper everywhere.  I've been making mittens and there are felt scraps everywhere.  I also decided to glitter up some papers and there is a very pretty sparkle everywhere.  I'm cleaning it up today, but decided to take pictures because it really is unbelievable!

My mom has the day off today so I think we're doing lunch and finalizing our Christmas lists.  I've already cleaned the bathroom and the kitchen.  I want to get the basement decent before we leave. Tomorrow is no TV/computer/video game day.  We are all cleaning our bedrooms.  We can have our privileges back after our rooms are clean.  And yes, I mean that for every member of the family, myself included. 

Who knows when I'm done I might do another blog post!
