- Finish up Christmas cards (need to update addresses, wait for pics from Winkflash,
wait for envelopes from my bestest sister ever, buy stamps, mail) - Finish buying presents (maybe one or two things--need to buy something for Emma's teacher)
- Finish wrapping presents in progress
- Try to find someone to watch Leah so I can go to Emma's Christmas party at school
- Haircuts for possibly all three girls, if not the older two for sure
- Make returns to Des Moines--may have to delegate that one to hubby
- Do holiday baking (poppy seed bread, sugar cookies and whatever else I feel up to)
- Figure out what food to have for Christmas Day
- Make said food
- Put laundry away
- Clean the house for company
- Potty train child #2 in progress
- Send money off for hubby's side of the family
- Shovel 4" of snow off hubby's side of the driveway because I love him
- Instill in children the magic and wonder of Christmas while emphasizing the real reason for celebrating--the birth of baby Jesus
Is that enough for the week before Christmas? The weather isn't helping my cause much--inside all day the past two days and probably Thursday as well.
ETA #13 & #14--I'm sure there will be more additions!
It may not look like I got much accomplished today, but I did. Honest!

I don't know, I think #10 and #11 are a long shot. Envelopes from #1 should be to you today or tomorrow. While you're at it, can you work on #12 with my kid, too? :D
We've gone through three loaves of poppy seed bread already.
Recently, whenever I ask Mable "What did you forget?" (saying thank you, putting your coat away, etc.) she replies... "Christmas is really about Jesus' Birthday, not Santa."
I think they might over-drill that at school. ;)

Thanks for stopping by! I love the way your name is spelled...but that extra "y" sure is special, isn't it?
I actually tried two slings with #1 and I never really felt comfortable with them. Isabelle actually hated them.
And, I love that you are potty training, too. If you have an secrets let me know. Our 2 year old (26 months) does great at school, but she's horrible at home!
I'm planning on doing a birthday cake for Jesus to help the kids understand a little more!
Good luck with your to do list!
I have avoided making a list because I DON'T WANT TO KNOW how behind I am.
The whole light shopping/going to Kmart/and the liqour store extravaganza last night meant nothing got worked on for Christmas.
I so need to make that list too, that will be my blog post tonight or not as I love to live in the land of procrastination and denial!
