christmas: up and running








this weekend has been fairly productive.

eli came down with a croupy head and chest cold on friday, so it was a slow day while we spent the day at home.
we decided to throw-up the christmas decor on saturday. c.j. is leaving on wednesday morning to fly to las vegas to spend thanksgiving with his family, then he will drive over to l.a. to attend a USC game with dad and the guys. we figured that since he doesn't get home till the sunday and monday is officially december we had better use our time wisely and just gitt'er done.
in my mind, one less thing to do in the next little while.

i was able to clean out under the bathroom sinks, chuck empty containers, discard old crusty lotion and junk. i swear it multiplies...
i filled 3 huge garbage bags to send to the salvation army full of elis old clothes age 12-18 months which freed up 3 storage bins in the basement. i shed a few tears remembering how cute he was at that age in those clothes. how stupid is that. it is just clothes, but it did remind me of him at that wonderful little age.

it's the last week of november folks. can you believe how fast this month has flown by? or is it just me?
