Time is flying by - we are in the final countdown! The amount of trash and dust that has been removed from this house makes me question my cleaning standards. The state of our house right now? I could totally live here! It will last about 45 seconds after the first child wakes up, but for now I am relishing in a tidy, clean, but mainly de-cluttered home. It is heavenly.
Also not realistic. Maybe for some. But, the stress it causes to maintain it makes for bad relations. It is also not conducive to your kids wanting to have friends over - and then I can't "spy". So, it bodes well to deal with having a "fun" house vice an orderly one.
It does, however, continue to make me a believer in the "one in - one out" policy. You get something new - it replaces something old (which makes its way out the door).
While the countdown was a bit on hold, I have been making headway on reorganizing. And now, I just have one sleep and Grammie and Pop will be here in...

| 寒い Samui!!! It was c-c-c-c-o-o-o-o-l-l-l-l-l-d-d-d-d this morning - and they let me know it! |
III Three 3
II Two 2
and I One 1 (little angel)
more day!!!!!
And now for the outtakes:
When not shivering and groaning about being cold - Two is really hilarious!
Angelic duty:
Ian got the angel honors this year
If you look carefully, you can see he is pant less. He had put his unders back on - inside-out and backwards. We gave up on the putting his shorts back on!
Aiming to get the top of the tree right up the poor angels...
backside - we have contact!
A job well done (albeit a bit crooked - so appropo!). "Two!" (Peace?) No - ONE!
And, it turns out, he is apprehensive about the shoulder sitting...
I gave it a try after Eric nearly dropped him (source of fear?!?)
Getting the "One" turned out to be a challenge
