Merry Merry...

I am knitting my little heart out. Christmas is seriously sneaking up on me and I have the crafty fever that one can only get when one is due to have a baby right at the same time Christmas is supposed to happen. And the insane person is also planning only homemade gifts, as well.

Because yes, I am that crazy.

I have a house to clean, a baby to prepare for, and what am I doing? Obsessively knitting one hat and three scarves before Christmas. Seems reasonable, right?

Peanut Rocks the Antlers

Peanut is clearly giving me a look that sums up her feelings on the matter.

Also, we made almost-gingerbread houses out of graham crackers and stuff. It was fun:

Almost Like Gingerbread...

I am now dreading the family meet-ups and in-law visits. (Can you believe I have to host my in-laws three days before I am due to have this kid? Am I just a glutton for punishment? I need a clean house for guests... Ack)

I hope you are having a less stressful holiday season, and that you manage to find the joy between the challenges. I know I am. Peanut has begun announcing, "Wook! Mommy! Wights!" every time she sees so much as a strand of Christmas lights.

Oh, I am a lucky mommy. Merry, merry.

Merry merry, honey. You are a glutton for punishment! My Christmas is all handmade too, but that's out of necessity! *snicker* I still have 6 sock monkey's to make, and a bunch of other crap too. You'll survive it all! You know how to get out of that family gathering right? Go into labor of course! Always worked for me. *wink*

Ah yes..your child's expression says it all. You failed to mention that there are lists somewhere in the house. No worries, it will all work out. I agree with Boo, you could go into labor and solve the problem of house guests. Seriously......
