Please pretend this is a witty blog post. Everyone have their imagination caps on? Okay!
First the snow. Blah! Greg told me to have the neighbor kid shovel the snow yesterday (it was either the neighbor kid or me so I wasn't going to argue). Guess he doesn't read my blog very closely cause I know I've mentioned the "Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing up is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing." -Phyllis Diller quote at least a few times. So you guessed it, this morning you couldn't even tell it was shoveled ever. And the house is a mess. *sigh* Poor neighbor kid, poor check book, poor me.
Next get your "I told you so!" ready. I'm Martha Stewart-ed out. The beaded candy canes and wreaths (on pipe cleaners) were going so well until Kelly dumped her bowl of beads. And then it was pretty much downhill from there. I skipped the cotton ball placemats because I wasn't about to bring glue into the mix at that point. On to the cookies decorating... I limited them to only eating two cookies each but did you know it's physically possible to balance two inches of sprinkles and half a bag of M&M's on one small round iced sugar cookie? Yeah me either. We can discuss the significance of this scientific feat after I pull the children on sugar highs off the ceiling.
So now I have to wrap a gazillion presents, decorate a gingerbread house (tomorrow morning's project, yeah I'm a sucker for punishment), and complete a toy room purge. At least the meals for Christmas Day are taken care of, thank you mother-in-law! Oh wait, I'm suppose to bake another chocolate cheesecake. Hmmm... Think some M&M sprinkled sugar cookies will do?
