We had a whirl wind of a weekend. Cordelia and I were sick but slowly recovered. 
Nothing serious just a cold.
We have started celebrating Advent with little activities each day, quietly anticipating Christmas. We set up our little tree that looks more and more pathetic each year. This little tree has come along for the ride with our family for 10 years! Someday we will upgrade to a bigger, fuller tree.
We are totally excited to attend our first school concert this week. Becca has been practicing daily, bringing out her guitar and belting out the songs they learned for the concert. It is so cute! She sings “Oh Canada” a lot too … with vigor and pride that cannot be surpassed!
Ethan had his eyes checked today. Becca’s strabimus (the reason she wears glasses, her eye turns in) *may* be hereditary so Ethan was screened early. His eyes are perfect and he was such a good boy with the testing and doctor!! He was absolutely unimpressed with getting his eyes dilated. They had given him some Bob the builder stickers and he kept muttering “Can’t see Bob! Can’t see Bob!”
Cordelia is growing and changing so quickly. She absolutely adores standing in her excersauser watching the kids play. She grabs toys, hair and everything she can grasp. She is constantly amazing me with her smiles, wit and development.
I still have so much to do to prepare for Christmas. Every year I vow to be more organized and every year I am so not. I am going out with a friend to go shopping this week so hopefully I can finish up. We are not even spending that much this year and I am still behind!
How are your Christmas preparations going?
A Canadian mom with three cute kids. This blog chronicles our lives my creative pursuits. 
I have a cold/sinus/allergy something that I jsut can’t kick. It sucks.
Christmas is coming along. It will happen, with or without me.
Hoping you (and I) feel better.

Ugh. They’re fun, but were so much more so when I didn’t have to work!

I don’t like to do any prep until the week before or so. I like to leave things up until New Year and if I put it up too early it just becomes part of the decor and stops feeling special.
Gald the doctor’s was ok. Impressive that he was so goo. Those drops suck.

I’m pretty much with Christmas. With a December birthday I had to get presents ready way in advance so we wouldnt brake the bank this month. So I have pretty much all the kids stuff, and my husbands. I doubt I’m getting anything but oh well. It’s gonna be a nice quiet relaxed Christmas here.
I think your tree is cute!
We have an artificial tree… it’s pink and has disney princesses on it -_-
We’re gonna buy a real tree too though, Sunday after the baby’s party
Christmas? Oh crap I forgot about that! lol just kidding! Things are slowly chugging along.
Glad that everything is going on smoothly despite being busy. I’ll be off to China and travelling back two days before Xmas so I’ll just chill out with my family
I’m very behind as well…but the thing is, I almost always get everything that I want to get done, done. So. There’s that at least. But it doesn’t stop me from panicking.

Glad y’all are feeling better.
It never seems to matter how organized I try to be, I always end up behind. Oh, well. Everything will get done eventually.
