it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Charlie doesn't want to play in any reindeer games 

Yesterday Charlie and I ventured out on our own. Every year that I don't move home is another year I forget how to get around the little city I grew up in. On our way back I realized I had no idea where I was going but my inner man refused to stop and ask for directions. Oh, and by asking directions I mean looking at google maps on my phone. I was certain one road would run into another and I'd know where I was. 45 minutes later I wound up three cities over. Upon our arrival home I got bored and made Charlie take these photos with me. It's a mother's job to torment your child like that :) Later on after he found someone better to hang out with, I decided to venture out at night on my own sans glasses. I forgot how dark suburban streets are at night and not to mention that I'm in deer country and I found myself breaking every few minutes thinking I saw one. Nope, just a plastic bag. Note to self: wear glasses at night so you aren't breaking for litter.   

Ho Ho Ho - Pretty sure my child is counting the days till daddy gets here. Me too, kid. Me too. 

I packed some of my craft materials. I mean, that's completely normal, right? 

My "holiday" wrapping this year.
