What a weekend!

It has been somewhat productive. Shelby and I partially decorated the house for Christmas on Thursday afternoon. It isn't a whole lot yet, but things are still somewhat astray in the new house--at least that is how I feel.

Friday we did the Christmas Stroll Open House---incidently Shelby ended up buckled into her car seat after some fighting/arguing with Mom later in the afternoon. I told her I would do it, and on the way out to have a "chat" she said I wouldn't really do it. I had to hold up to my word and strapped her in, moved the van to a closer location near the door, left the vehicle running (gotta love those remote starters) and locked the doors and went inside. After about 5-10 mins. I went back out to check on her and her attitude had changed dramatically!!!

Saturday found us lounging in the AM, but I had a LS party in Cohagen that afternoon. Santa did come "per request" to bring Shelby Candyland early. She is into Board Games and can't understand why she can't play the NFL Monopoly we have. So, Dad & I put in a special call to St. Nick to see if he could kindly bring her a toy early. He came while she was upstairs and left it under the tree for her...she was ecstatic and is now a Candyland pro after about 6-7 games in one day! :-)

Today my butt is dragging--thinking this is what the Doc was talking about when feeling yucky! I did get the picture frames hung, the house cleaned and mopped and kept the peace with the Munchkin and Daddy. Now as I type I feel I could fall asleep right now. I knew once I sat down I was a goner, so I have been going non-stop as much as I can. I think I will go lay down and rest while Shelby plays "babies."

I've added some pics of the tree and Shelby--Daddy was running the 600 snowmobile outside and she thought it was really loud (it really wasn't, but she has become very dramatic)
