I have 1 day of work left, as does daddy, until we are officially on Christmas holidays. Hooray!!! I can't wait. The 2 boys and daddy and I have had a very big year. And we wouldn't be us if we weren't trying to wrap up another property deal before Christmas. We'll just have to see how we go.
The 2 boys and I searched high and low to find a Christmas tree today. We searched every where. The only place we found one was at the very bottom shelf at Coles supermarket shoved at the very back. We all jumped for joy. It was at this stage of desperation that the price was irrelevant. Luckily for me it was on sale for $10.50. It was worth every cent. We had 3 things to get at the shops today. The first one was the Christmas tree then we had nappy wipes and lastly we had to buy a new dual DVD player for the car. I had spent most of the morning trying to fix our current portable DVD player, even trying to organise spare parts. Alas, it was becoming more and more evident that I was going to need to get another one. As we are going on holiday soon and will be travelling in the car for many hours, DVD players are essential for every one's sanity. And they make time pass quicker.
With all 3 things in our trolley we ventured back home in the rain. Once home we hit the ground running. Apparently the Christmas tree had to be up straight away. So after a 1 minute reprieve, up it went. Nothing beats a real Christmas tree, but at least a plastic one is better than nothing. It just means that I'll order one next week for next Christmas.
The tree looks good. For some completely unknown reason to me both boys needed to be nude to put Christmas decorations on the tree. Luckily I managed to take 1 photo pre-nudity. They never cease to amaze me. As neither little boy wanted to sleep today the camaraderie between the 2 boys was starting to slip away the tireder they got.. Eventually I had to separate the two because it was becoming all out war. The afternoon was spent with Brandon putting decorations on the tree while Bailey was around the other side of the tree causing mass destruction and ripping them off. I spent the afternoon trying to understand why they had to be nude to decorate a tree. I am still pondering.
I went to work for a few hours while daddy and the 2 boys watched Toy Story on DVD. Bring out the sunshine I say. Then we can all go outside and run around or jump on the trampoline. Well this time tomorrow we will be celebrating the beginning of our holidays. Fortunately I am fully booked with clients once I go back to work in late January - which is reassuring.
For now though I am excited it's nearly Christmas and that it's nearly the beginning of another year. I can't wait to see what journeys and adventures we all have.
