Sunday, Fun Day

Today was some what successful. Not as successful as I would have liked it to be but I think we did pretty well.

Went to church-check
cleaned house-check
get Christmas Tree-check
clean house some more????

So my house isn't as clean as I would like it to be. My in-laws are coming tomorrow and I still have so much to do!!! Our bedroom is a MESS and I haven't gotten to the guest bathroom yet. On top of all this I have to work tomorrow so most of the last second cleaning is going to fall on Hubby's shoulders. I hope he is up to the task.

The one good thing that came out of today is that we were able to get a tree today. We actually got to go to a tree farm and cut one down. It was really fun and I'm so excited to start some new Christmas traditions in our family. I didn't grow up cutting down a tree for Christmas and neither did Hubby but we both decided that it would be cool to do this for Christmas.

Thats all I have to say about today. I still have a TON of cleaning to do still before tomorrow morning. I should have an interesting post for you all tomorrow about my in-laws.

Weekends

I have a love hate relationship with weekends. On Friday night my idea of what the weekend will be like is very ambitious. By the time Sunday night rolls around I feel like a complete failure. Now that I find myself in the middle of a weekend I am going to share with you what I hope my Sunday will look like.

Tomorrow the Winrow family will be going to Church. After which I plan to clean my house. (Something I am doing constantly since my in-laws are spending Christmas with us this year, more on that in another post.) Later in the afternoon the Winrow family will be meeting up with the Ruiz family as we journey to a Christmas tree farm to cut down our first Christmas tree as a family. We will then return home and prepare the house for the Christmas season. After the house is decorated I will once again run around the house and clean it. Somewhere in between all of this I plan to do laundry for Baby Boy.

These are my plans for tomorrow. We shall see how much of these plans get done. I will update you all with my progress. I hope that we will be quite successful but I'm just being positive. If nothing else I hope to have Christmas-tree-cuting pictures to share with you all.

Wish me luck!

NAPTIME!!!!

Ever since Baby Boy joined us in May we haven't had a regular nap time. I have long since given up trying to establish one and just take the early bedtime as my consolation.

Other moms have told me that the nap time routine just magically creates itself when the baby is older. Low and behold the last two days he has taken an hour long nap!! I feel so rested today and I was able to pick up my house a little bit!

I really hope that this routine sticks but because I posted about it here for all the world to see that means that it won't and come tomorrow he will be up all day yet again :/

I am glad that we have a nighttime routine though. It has really made a difference. The nighttime routine actually helps to relax me and get me ready for bed! By the time Baby Boy is asleep in his crib I am ready for my glass of wine and snuggling in bed with a good book.

That's enough rambling for one post. Tomorrow I shall post about my addiction...daily deal sites...
