Can you smell it?

We were at the tree farm this weekend picking out the tree and saw a sign..."You're at a Christmas Tree Farm, feel free to breathe deeply."But, I'm getting ahead of myself.Monday was Grandparents' Day at school.

For the last week she's been going around the house ...

... and welcome to the mess. I know a thing or two about big families (I've got 6 kids + a daughter-in-law), carpool, grief, Jesus, the Texas Aggies, prematurity, marriage counseling, decluttering and party planning, but I still don't know why it's so hard for my kids to put up their shoes. My Texas-sized heart is honored to have you here!
