I'm Melting!

Quick~What is that line from?

Gracelyn watched The Wizard of Oz for the first time recently and just loved it.

That also means the attempt she made at a snowman is leaving us as well. As quickly as it came it is leaving. Well kinda. Of course you can still see plenty of snow in the shade of our home but it is not pretty and glistening anymore.

Cameron has been very busy putting up Christmas lights for customers this week and weekend and it is really wearing him down. He HATES it. There is so much that can go wrong with Christmas lights. Fuses, burned bulbs, timers, etc... but it is almost over and then his vacation begins. We both can't wait for him to be able to relax. He will have a few clean-up jobs to do but for the most part he is done with his season. Until next year... OIE!

Found a fun little thing to add to the blog. You just type in your blog address and it generates a word cloud of words that stand out in your blog. It is funny to me to see a word and remember which entry it came from.

I sure hope that Cannon knows his name is Cannon and not No~No. He is in love with the tree and Christmas decorations. It is so fun to watch him go up to it and "pet" the tree. He does really good for the most part but every once in a while he gets really brave and grabs an ornament. He immediately looks at you to hear your response which is most typically no~no Cannon. If you get up then he drops it and runs. So typical of his age but so funny to watch him figure out life as well. I've caught him a few times laying under the tree looking up. That is my absolute MOST favorite thing to do!!!! So I got down there with him and we just looked up at the tree together and talked about it. He had lots to say and I couldn't understand a word of it but I hope he was telling me that he appreciated the effort it took for me to get under there. I also hope he was telling me that it was his most favorite thing to do too! I wanted to stay longer than him but after a few minutes he was onto bigger and better things like the dancing snowman we have. :)

We have been listening to Christmas music since the day after Thanksgiving on the local radio station. Either in the car or at home it is playing non-stop around Gracelyn. Today for the first time when Feliz Navidad came on she got a big grin and said, "Mommy, I didn't know we had Christmas songs in our car." I told her that we had them on for the past week but she just didn't pay attention to it. Is she a blonde or what? Now if she can just master the 3 songs we have to sing for our program at school we will be set!

Have a great Monday!!
