Since Thanksgiving is just a few days away, I have been thinking about Christmas a lot this week. Usually I have already decorated my house (I like to do it when DJ goes to deer camp for opening week) and have already done most of my shopping (or at least have my list). NOT THIS YEAR! I guess maybe it is because I have a newborn, maybe because DJ didn't spend a week in camp this year or just maybe it is because I have had my head stuck in the Twilight books for several weeks now (just finished reading them for the second time). Take your pick...my guess is all three!
I haven't really wanted to put up a tree since Trey is crawling and getting into everything. I can't get him to sit still! HA! He has discovered that going from room to room is fun. His favorite things to get into are the chess set in my entertainment center and the dog's water dish. I can only imagine what my tree will look like after I put it up and he notices. I am a little scared about that.
I haven't really had time to do much shopping since being a mom of two really takes all my time and I have been using any spare time to read. The books are great and I would say to read them if you have any romantic bone in your body (girls and boys alike). However be prepared to spend all your extra time in them because they are addicting. I think I have gotten my fix for now. I have more pressing issues to think about now. Maybe after Thanksgiving I will decorate the house and do some shopping. Maybe then I will feel the Christmas spirit.
Am I the only one out there like this?

Ha! I'm right there with you. We are going to put up our tree and I've been informed to put all non breakable ornmanets up top and to anchor the tree to the wall with a little eye hook and fishing wire. But remember, it's not important how your tree looks, everyone will understand that you have a crawler and won't judge your decorating. But if Hannah is anything like Greyson he's already asking why ours isn't up.
Love the part about Twilight...they are completely addicting and I too am wanting to re-read them after seeing New Moon. Good luck keeping Trey out of the tree! I am super nervous about Ryne this year too.
It's still early - I never even consider decorating until after Thanksgiving and usually it's the first of December. It may be better to wait if you think Trey might mess with it. Enjoy yourself! It's all supposed to be fun, not stressful, right?!
