Savor the moments

      Christmas is almost here I think I was too prepared.  I have all my shopping done which was easy because Mike's work is slow so the budjet was tight. My brother is hosting Christmas Eve and my Mother Christmas so I wont have to cook much.  Yet I'm still anxious because I have nothing to keep me busy in the mean time.  Just trying to keep on with the daily schedule with the kids and enjoy time with them.

       For instance this morning I realized it's really time to move my baking items to a higher shelf in the pantry.  Everytime I open that door I have two kids trying to wiggle past me.  This morning while getting Joseph cereal he squeezed past me and ended up having shredded wheat with marshmellows and sprinkles.  I usually give them pretty balanced meals but he will only be 2 once and I want it to be special.
