its that time of year again

i love love love this time of year. feel like starting my decorations but need one round of spring cleaning first. the husband is like "but we're not gonna be around for christmas".

but still.

it's etha*ns first christmas. & it's not like the decorations will be up only for christmas day right. it'll be there for a while. so i'll probably start soon. i have to finish up my christmas shopping & wrapping. & i have no idea what to get for etha*n as a first christmas gift. hmm... my christmas carols should be playing when we get home so that he can join along with his chortles.

the poor boy. i used to sing him to sleep but not anymore. last night, i put on one of those music channels while rocking him to sleep & he began humming along like he used to when i sang to him.

i wish i could get new curtains but i guess i'll save it for next year since we're not entertaining this year.

oh well.
