Advent'ING Day 3&4

December 3rd and 4th
Watching and Doing
Combining two in one today, as Kia spent the evening with her friend Alex at Chucky Cheese, we missed out on the opportunity to "watch" something - instead we're going to be WATCHING the matinee of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (yay, finally!). As a fan of the books, it is hard for me to accept that I'm going to the movie with two people who don't even realize what the three remaining deathly hallows are...but I'll survive (btw...they are the invisibility cloak, the elderwand, and the stone in Marvolo's ring, which fatally wounded Dumbledore) sorry my nerd is showing.
The DOING portion of today is putting up the Christmas tree. I've gone on about how I'm not in the mood to decorate but I'm totally into Christmas, but I'll bite the bullet today and put that bad boy up, if for no other reason than to see the boxes go back in storage and out of the entrance way and front room, where they are currently obstructing movement rather nicely. Eating turtles chocolate, and listening to Christmas music while Russ watches and snoozes on the couch is the tradition. Bring on the tree!
