My son was looking at the calendar the other day. Trying to count how many days to Halloween, he turns around and looks at me and says...."Where the heck did September GO?!" I laughed and said you are too young to worry about where the time is going! But yea I have no idea where it went. It seems like my post here lately is dwelling on where all the time went. Its definitely going by fast! And it doesn't help when every other post on Facebook is counting down to Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas! Geez people can we just get thru the first 6 weeks of school?! Speaking of school i have a a rant about the system. Or the lack there of anyway: I remember being disciplined in school. If I broke a rule I was sent to the office where my mom was already waiting for me. (Didn't help that she worked at my elementary school) but still. So not only did the principal lecture me about how talking in class and being disruptive was disrespectful, I had to get an ear full from...
It's a tradition of mine I made years ago to have my tree up on December 1st. Regardless of what is going on, it comes up! I have also been saying for the last 3 years that I am going to get a new tree. This one is 11 years old....it's time for an upgrade!
Jill and Jaxon helped arrange the lights and "fluff" the branches, as Jill called it. They had fun.
Jaxon was a huge help in making sure he messed up everything Jill was doing. All in all he did good. He has only messed with the tree a few times and has broken only one ornament. (so far) He loves Christmas. He likes the tree. He kisses his sock monkey ornament everyday. He has managed to rip all the name tags off the gifts. We have to say goodbye to the tree every morning as we are walking out the door. He will hate to see it go come the 31st. But a good memory was made this month.
