Arrington Christmas Program

Some of you may remember last year, we did a little dancing Elf number for our friends and family in honor of Christmas. This year, I've had a little more time on my hands to put into the show. Enjoy!

An extra special number honoring the romantic dances of the past...

Let it SNOW!

(this was Griffin last week, the first time he really figured out what snow is)

Griffin has had a fun weekend! Last night, he had a sleepover at Grandma's, then he woke up to lot's and lot's of SNOW! He calls it, "'No", and he loved playing in it. He didn't even mind when Sean threw snow at him, he just opened his mouth and tried to eat it. It was a fun day. 

It's beginning to look a lot like...

CHRISTMAS! I love it! I have my tree decorated, other decorations up, lights outside, and finally yesterday it snowed. I love looking out all my big windows and seeing the snow on the trees, and the light that shines in. It's the perfect scene. Ahhhh. Too bad the practical part of me isn't prepared at all! I have even thought about gifts, or plans like that. But, the important part is done. I better get a move on it! 

A little whine and cheese...

From 3:00 till about 5:30 is by far my least favorite part of the day. It's that time when I've done about everything I can think of to keep Griffin entertained and busy. I've given up on the long list of things I've hoped to accomplish in the day, frustrated at only completing one thing, or two if I'm lucky. Griffin has either napped, or passed the point of no return for hoping to accomplish a nap, and is cranky. I'm waiting for Sean to get home, but there's still a good hour or two before that happens. I'm tired, usually hungry from lack of a meaningful lunch, and worn out from wrestling Griff through 4 diaper changes, mostly major poop, (at least that number is down from those early days!) fighting to keep him inside, keep him from undoing any progress I've made in getting the house clean, laundry done, ect. I'm disappointed that I still can't find a job, not that I could get one if I wanted because I still haven't gotten my license approved. Then, to top it all of, my husband gives me attitude about me "not doing my job" and "having it so easy" since I don't have to go to work all day. He sooo doesn't get it! 

Okay, I'm done throwing my little pity party.  But, the best part is that every day, around 6:00, we have dinner, I give Griffin his bath, we read stories and play, and he goes to sleep like the sweet little angel he is, and I get my second wind. Start making lists for the next day, finishing up things, hang out with Sean, and it gives me just what I need to make it through till three o'clock tomorrow.
