I can't believe how quickly this year is flying by! With Halloween past, the decorations put away and costumes packed up I find myself looking forward to the next.... Thanksgiving right?
Well if my kids had anything to do with it we would just bypass the whole turkey and gravy and proceed full speed ahead with Christmas! I just don't think they get it. After spending a day a Disneyland last week, Phearson asked me if it was Christmas Yet. "Not yet." I replied and tried to explain to my youngling that we have to have Thanksgiving first. "But it is Christmas at Disneyland" he quickly spouted back. (He had noticed and was 100% in love with the Christmas decorations Mr. Disney has already donned) "And... it is Christmas at Target!" he added.
Yes... I suppose it is Phearson.
So who am I to argue with a 3 year old.
I caught wind of the first sales and started my Christmas shopping. I cleaned out the boys room and got rid of old toys. I purchased Porter's favorite, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (although we have already been watching the Polar Express for the last couple of weeks). I suppose I am a bit like my little ones... I just can't help myself.
And who can complain about ANYTHING that will make three little boys sit, quietly for 1 hour and 33 minutes!
I will have you know, however, that I AM still decorating with pumpkins and spice rather than stockings and candy canes. And don't get me wrong, I love-love thanksgiving, but the Holidays are the Holidays... may it be Thanksgiving or Christmas!

I LOVE that last photo of them. We take our quiet time however we can get it!
I agree with everything! An hour and 33 minutes of kids sitting still is PRICELESS!
I can't believe how fast time flies. Soon we will be reading each others posts of what we got for Christmas. Way to go on the early shopping. I am still trying to come to terms with being back to work...one thing at a time!
