I'm thankful to see the world through the eyes of my kids.
Yesterday we walked to lunch and on the way back (before Lucy had a total "I'm exhausted let me sleep" meltdown during which I had to carry her kicking and screaming down our street) we saw a sign that said --Leaf Collection in this area: November 29-December 6--. I wondered aloud if that included us. Emma said she hoped it did. I agreed that we had some leaves to rake. She looked at me quizzically. So I explained what a leaf collection was. She laughed and said she thought a leaf collection was when a group of people got together and collected leaves in their area and then compared them, and maybe afterwards they'd have cookies and apple cider. Now that's a leaf collection to get excited about!
I love Christmas, anyone who knows me well knows this. I'm not quite ready for decorating....though we've been playing carols for a week. I want to really get the house clean and clutter free before we bring out the decorations. To my surprise and delight this morning Eleanor was totally decked out in an outfit that made her look like the cutest Christmas Elf. She's ready and because of her sweet spirit I'm working like crazy to get there too!
