“Oh Mom! You forgot to tell me it’s Christmas today!”
Chloe tells me this everyday. Every. Single. Day. And every day I respond with…
“It’s not Christmas yet, honey. I’ll tell you when it’s getting closer. First we have Christmas EVE…”
So, to save my sanity Tim suggested I make a paper chain to help her visualize how many more days it is until Christmas. She’s VERY excited about it. 🙂
2011: Christmas Chainlink Countdown!
I made the “links” comically huge for a more dramatic effect.
That is a great idea! Chloe’s dress is cute 🙂
That is a great idea! The Fritz kids are coming next week, so maybe I’ll make one for when they are here.
We were wondering if your house is really warm – that looks like a really summery dress. Or was she just trying it on?
Haha–it’s funny you both commented on her dress. It’s her “dress-up clothes” dress that she wears for fun around the house. She used to have a blue tutu that she wore obsessively but it was too small so I packed it away. I found this fun dress at a garage sale for $1 so it’s her new play dress. And yes… I’m always trying to get her to wear a sweater over it but she doesn’t want to–I think she would be cold too!
I was just wondering if you put it up hi in order that she can’t pull off extra links without help? 🙂
