Holiday Cleanup
How do you clean up after the holidays? For us, it is a tad more interesting. Madison’s birthday was yesterday (she turned 5!), so we always have the quick cleanup that needs to be done from the time we get back from visiting Wisconsin and her birthday party. I usually get about a week if we are lucky. Since we have the basement now, Bill let me keep up the Christmasy decorations, but we did pull down the Christmas tree. I need as much room as we can get, and this is pretty much the only way I was going to get it. I figure everybody will hang out downstairs for her party just like they did for Christmas Eve. The sad thing is that we are the only one on the block who still has their outdoor lights up. Now, we don’t leave them up till June or anything, but it seems that it is kinda odd that on 8th of January that everyone has packed up everything already. Now, I’ve slacked this week, and I have to get all my cleaning done tomorrow with the kids underfoot. This should be interesting. My sister is arriving tomorrow, so its not quite the end of the world if she’s the only one who sees my non-clean house.
How do you clean up? Do you have a set plan? Do you just do a little bit each day?

Early Halloween Parties
Yes, we have already started celebrating Halloween. That happens when you have a little one in preschool. Since I have to dress Madison up anyway, I threw Will’s costume on too.
This would win any 2 and under cutest costume contest, right? I love this costume. It does come with a cute little hat. However, no matter how hard I try, he won’t keep it on. Madison came home already with an entire bag of candy from preschool. She’s already figured out how to sneak some of it already too! They trick or treated in her preschool building. Plus, all of us parent brought candy too! I do feel the need to smack the parents that brought pure sugar candy. Trust me, Madison does not need sugar to bounce off walls. You can only imagine how she is with sugar.
Madison would win for cutest costume 3 and up, don’t you think? I love this costume. It sucks that I caught the window glare in her glasses, but she looks super cute in her Cinderella costume. It is suppose to be in the high sixties tomorrow, so we shouldn’t have to wear our coats out trick or treating. We then are meeting at my sister-in-laws and going trick or treating by her house. We also have a Halloween party on Saturday. We have quite a busy couple of days just to celebrate Halloween!
Though I’d have to say that the best photo I took so far, I took at her preschool today:
She looks so excited and happy! What are you doing for Halloween?
