Our house is feeling a little chaotic. This is what the playroom looks like. And yes, it really is as bad as the picture makes it seem. It was never fully picked up after the brunch we hosted last weekend, where there were 11 kids under 12, and my brood have only made it worse.
There are signs of Christmas covering every surface.
Gifts from teachers, books, and candy.
With the free time the kids have had, there's been some reminiscing and stacks of photo albums left behind.
There are also crafts stacked in the most random places, like the front staircase, because what better place to drop everything from the church Christmas party.
And speaking of crafting, this is what my desk is looking like these days. The glue gun has gotten a lot of use, as well as all my paper scraps. It's been fun to be playing in my craft room again.
The cards have been pouring in and our holder is overflowing. It's been so nice to hear from friends, especially the non-Facebook crowd who we only catch up with at Christmas each year.
And our book advent, which is really the only countdown we've been at all consistent with this year, is almost done. Only 4 more books under the tree. Guess it's time for us to start filling the space with the gifts for Christmas day.
(And I think we need to do a little Christmas pickup before the big day so poor Santa doesn't trip over something on his way in.)
