12-17-13

Tonight we went to look at Christmas lights. We had heard of four or five houses in the area with big displays so we headed off in search of them! I really enjoyed it--hadn't ever went out purely for that purpose and it was fun! Anna Claire really liked looking at the lights, although she was obsessed with wanting to get out to touch them--especially the blow up Santas, reindeer, etc!!

Mom visited this weekend and we made lots of progress on my post-renovation-whole-house-organization-project. That was a relief, even though on the surface it really doesn't look a lot cleaner. It is getting there....very slowly but surely. This has been one of the most physically and mentally demanding household projects I've ever taken on. First the chaos and disarray of construction itself. The constant cleanup of debris, displaced items and sheetrock dust. Then having to clean all the new spaces and discover how to incorporate new furniture/decor into those spaces. Trying not to refill those areas with junk, etc. I have taken probably ten boxes of stuff to the rescue mission. Could have had a yard sale, but frankly I do not have the stamina.
