Getting things done:
Today I am going to the grocery to stock up on all of the ingredients I'll need for Christmas. I am so grateful to have relatives right across the street so I can go shopping without dragging three kids along! I found kits for making gingerbread houses and they were only $9, but to get one for each of the kids would be a bit much. So I bought ingredients to make our own house pieces and different candies to decorate with: baby M&M's, holiday colored gumballs, peppermint sticks for posts, gingerbread marshmallow men, gingerbread family cookies, coconut for grass or snow, tiny chocolate santas to put on the roof, and gumdrops. I really wanted to get a box of those chocolate rocks that look sooo real, to make a walkway, but wow they are expensive. I contemplated for a while, then decided we could do without a walkway!
