It's not the week before Christmas that's hectic, it's the week before that! I'm still not finished with the scarf for Sunshine's teacher, although I am in the homestretch. Hopefully 2 hrs of uninterrupted knitting tonight @ Panera will help. It's long enough to BO now, but I'd like it a little longer.
We have a cookie exchange w/ her class on Friday after which we'll leave for ATL for the weekend.
This week I'm finally painting the kitchen & Sunshine's bathroom. Hunter helped me yesterday by washing the walls w/ the Trisodium Phosphate solution until he decided that the rubber gloves were too small for his hands.
Our guest room is finally set up, thanks to Hunter & my friend's hubby putting the bed together. I'm on a quest for the perfect chair for the corner near the dresser. A Queen Anne style would be perfect.
Today Sunshine & I will be touring the elementary school near our house & enrolling her. We were very torn about withdrawing her from her current school as it's been a great experience. There are only 10 kids in her class, something I know won't be the case at the new school. The local elem. school has a great reputation, super great really, several of our friends have their kids there (friends of Sunshine) & well, the librarian is a friend of mine! We're less than 1/2 a mile away & will be able to walk to school, which is very rare nowadays.
We're also getting our tree today. We had decided to do a real tree & then buy an artificial one after the holidays when they're on sale. The last few days of rain convinced us to go ahead & buy an artificial one now rather than a real one that would need to dry out before coming into the house.
And last but not least, we're watching Sunshine's health. A cold or anything contagious throws a major monkey wrench into our Christmas plans as well as our plans to go to ATL this weekend to celebrate Hunter's cousin's college graduation. Both FIL & Hunter's aunt are recovering from cancer & a sick child is a recipe for disaster. I'm praying she's okay & we get to see everyone.
