One week to go…..
Well, it is exactly one week until Christmas and I’m not ready! Is that surprise? Not really. Usually Cliff and I are still working on Chrsitmas presents on Christmas Eve and a few times during the wee hours of Christmas morning. Of course, those were the years when Cliff made the reindeer and Santa and Mrs. Claus yard decorations and the sleigh. Wow, those were huge projects.
So, I guess that it is no surprise that I’m so far behind. I haven’t wrapped one gift and I just put the tree up last night, with Cliff’s help and finished decorating the house. I still don’t put up all of my decorations because of Sam but, I think that next year Sam will be old enough that I won’t have to worry about it.
Sam and I went to do some last minute shopping yesterday and we had a good time. On our way home I remembered I wanted to check Sams Club again to see if the price on the tricycle had gone down any more so, I turned the jeep around and headed back to Sams Club. It’s a good thing that we did go and check because there were only four trikes left. Guess what? I bought it. I have been watching the price on it for over a month now and I decided that it was now or never. I think Sam is really going to like it…..he tried to ride it in the store while one of the employees was unhooking the wagon (so that I could fit it in the jeep). When we got home and Sam realized that I wasn’t going to let him bring it in the house—he had a major tantrum. I am really tired of those and am really hoping that it doesn’t last the whole 2nd year!!! Especially since he hasn’t even turned two yet. Anyway, back to the trike, I can hardly wait to see his face on Christmas morning when he gets up and sees it by the tree. Those pictures will make for great scrapbook pages.
This morning Cliff took Sam to the store to shop for me. I wonder what Sam picked out???? Probably some kind of ball! Ha ha. Anyway, it was great to have the house to myself for a couple of hours and Cliff said that he and Sam had a good time. They even stopped at Wendy’s to get some lunch. Apparently Sam got to be a big boy and carry the napkins to the table. He’s so cute.
Well, I guess that I should take advantage of Sam’s napping and get busy doing something.
