What a day! I was up bright and early – and it was BRIGHT!!! The Sun was out – it was GORGEOUS!!! Picked up Trina and headed to Winters for our Quilt morning. We were missing our 3rd Amigo – Ashley – but that just meant we could complain about our hubbies and kids without worrying that she was left out! ;-) Seriously we missed you Ash and we can’t wait to start the new quilts next month!
After our return to normal mommyland – it was time for Christmas to be over. J1 and I took down the outdoor decorations – but I did leave the interior porch lights – I think they light our porch nicely without being glaring, but I might get overrulled any day now.
Then, J1 and I started on the tree, but JGirl made that very difficult. So we came into the kitchen and made bean soup and apple pie. He was pretty handy on Grammy’s apple corer/peeler/slicer!
After Hubs and other boys returned it was short work to get the rest of Christmas packed and put away. My living room is back to normal!! Hurray! But now I see a 3’x5′ spot that is screaming for a hanging quilt. Hmm…if only I had more time. 🙁
Again, my life is pretty boring right now…but that’s not a complaint – that’s a blessing! Hope your life is boring too! 😉
Packing up Christmas is always a lot of work and makes me a little sad. It’s funny because right before I do it I think, “I am so tired of these decorations”, but as I am doing it I starting wishing next year was already here – silly I know.
I have most of the indoor Christmas stuff taken down… Just waiting on Joe to take down the tree, and he always takes down the outdoor lights too (I don’t do ladders *lol*).
Ahem. We didn’t complain, we were discussing their eccentricities! 😀
We’re going to take the tree down and pack up the stuff tomorrow. I’m a little afraid of what A’s going to do – he bawled last year. Poor kid!
Aww, I was bummed to miss it yesterday, but since I am behind by about 5 blocks now….. anyways, hope to be back for next months….maybe I will get my machine fixed now. 🙂
