my TO DO LIST today

Charlie, Brady and I just got home from the gym on a COLD Georgia day. Burr. While Brady is napping, Charlie and I are making chocolate chip cookies (a staple in our home) and watching Noggin (yet another staple).
On our to do list today.....
1. Unpack Christmas decorations and hang wreaths on the windows outside. Burr.
2. Eat cookies, do laundry.
3. Enjoy our day and try not to get caught up in all of the things we need to do or pay. Be in the moment and forget the stress.
4. Pick up the big brothers at school at 2:25pm.
5. More unpacking decorations while watching Brady eat everything off the floor!
6. Pick out a Christmas tree with Daddy.
7. Strain our backs trying to get it in the tree stand and into the house.
8. Put the million lights on the tree (actually, I end up doing this. Why?)
9. Be in the moment and forget the stress. It will be there tomorrow. Do laundry.
10. Watch our kids enjoy the magic of the season. Love every minute. Do laundry.
