Doing it

I am a little quiet.  My hubby's hours have been cut and I am trying to budget for bills, Christmas, and Princess Snifflefritz's birthday. It is stressful, but I am doing my best.  In the meantime, I am drinking coffee in cute Christmas mugs, watching Christmas movies, and wearing my Christmas earrings. 

My babies

 My younger babies at the end of the school day:

Smile

 I am having a stress moment.  I can't find words, so I am just sharing pics of things that are making me smile

Another day

This was another day of plugging along with not enough sleep.  I did shovel snow, cook food, tidy up  and eat healthy.  But, honestly,  I mostly wanted to sleep.

Princess Snifflefritz

Princess Snifflefritz has a math disability.  She truly struggles with it.  That is why I was so thrilled when she came home told me the following (direct link: https://youtu.be/_gte4VXkbZg)

Here are Day two and three of my Christmas Earrings:

Day One

 Day one of my Christmas Advent Calendar of earrings.

Sisters

Princess Snifflefritz came home sad today.  She had boy troubles.  We had a cuddle and cookies and when her sister came home, both of her sisters huddled around her to help her feel better.  It was really sweet of them. 

Good

 I had a busy day of housework and laundry.  I am exhausted but proud to have done things considering I only had 6 hours sleep.   

So, I did a Thing

 I was tired of fighting with my hair.  

So, today I did a thing:

And then I came home and did another thing:

And now I look like this:

Christmas

 

Snow

 We are getting snow again today.   I am very thankful that Prince Charming doesn't have to work tonight. I can't wait until we get our winter tires on when we take  the car to the garage on November 23rd.  

Full day.

 We had a full day of running around and getting things done. My oldest girl even got a bank account of her very own.  She is taking steps toward adulthood.  I am proud of her. 

Btw, I caught my boy making faces in the bulbs on the tree. Too cute:

Joy

 Today has been lovely.  My house is tidy, my fridge is full, and the Christmas lights are bringing me do much joy.  

Getting Started

We decorated the Christmas tree today. Actually, we decorated the inside of our house for Christmas. We played Christmas songs, chattered, and had fun. It was awesome, and actually the best thing ever. We all had so much fun. Afterwards, we watch Christmas movies and relaxed. Honestly, I had the best day.

Mugs

 I love mugs.  Cute and fun mugs make me happy.  I have pulled out my Christmas mugs and have been using them since Halloween. Here are some of thrm: 

And here are some of my mugs with food pics I took: 

Awesome

My favorite time of year has arrived.  Christmas movie marathon time.  I am currently watching one with my youngest daughter. It seems she also has a love of Christmas movies too.  How awesome!

Great

 This has been a great day.  I had almost 8 hours of sleep, I ate yummy food, and my kids were awesome. And . . . the American Election ended and I am happy for my friends. 

Happy Delivery

 My sister-in-law come by delivering Halloween goodies for my babies.  It was super-sweet.  I love the thoughtful way they were put together.  I videod it to show Prince Charming because the kiddies would open them while he was sleeping.  Then I figured I would share it here too.

Quiet.

 This was a day of quiet. I had an awful headache. But, my kids were sweet, and I had an easy supper for them. 

Oh my

Preteen girls have so much drama.  Princess Snifflefritz is always sharing the complications that she is trying to navigate.  I always help her to the best of my ability, but I often feel like I am out of comfort zone in that regard. 

Quiet.

 We had a lovely, quiet day at home.  After the excitement of yesterday, we needed the peace.
