For the past couple days I promised the boys we would make some cookies, so today was the day. They were sooo excited. I love seeing Payton's dilapidated little stars piled on the cookie sheet. It was just such a fun afternoon focusing on time with the boys.
I made it to the post office and sent off the last of my holiday packages. And this afternoon I re-decorated the Christmas tree. We let the boys have their hand at it a few weeks ago, but it needed a mother's touch.
Speaking of ornaments, this week I sent Scott to the Hallmark store to find a train ornament to commemorate our little trip on the Polar Express earlier this month. He couldn't find a good train so instead he came home with Darth Vader. And it talks. I guess it's kind of been a Star Wars year in our family, so I'm actually okay with it.
It's been a great saturday. Scott has been a great help -- getting chinese take-out for dinner and even cutting the boys' hair while I was out running errands. He's a keeper!
