Things Learned This Week

1) Proof read our Christmas cards more carefully. 130 just came from the printer and are all wrong! We're making do, but have to go in and doctor each and every one of them.

2) Don't mop the floors the morning of the day my 11 year old is cooking all the meals.

3) Duct tape doesn't stick as well when it's cold.

4) A tempurpedic mattress can freeze somewhat.

5) Andy is cute when he sleeps in all his sweats with the hood on, in an effort to stay warm at night.

6) Don't assign each boy a full day of cooking duties on consecutive days.

7) The season of Advent should be about remembering Christ and loving each other, not stressing about what activity to do each day.
