Starting tomorrow, there are 4 weekends to get my Christmas shopping done. Yesterday we went out and I was semi-hopeful to pick up a couple of things I knew I needed. Both are already sold out. I have cruised almost every Walmart looking for a case for Gage's MP3 player and we finally found it at Amazon.com so one of my items is on way...My to do list isn't very long. I don't have a large family. Don't have to buy gifts for co-workers anymore but the intensity of what I am shopping for is still there - whether buying for a few or many and that is where I could and sometimes do, lose focus.
I shot this pic of Gage modeling a ladies scarf at Old Navy yesterday. We really did have a great time. He is always up for anything fun so while Miss M is trying valiantly to escape from the stroller, we are goofing around trying to make a little happy time. The camera has always made Gage happy and I have learned to see the world a little different through him...and the lens.
We hit Target and Costco and then we ready to head home. The kids fell asleep on the way home so I guess, we just wore them out. In turn, they wore me out. They wore out that part of me that makes me a to do list maniac. As I got home and downloaded my pics, all I saw was the FABulous time we had. All I will remember is this silly pic of Gage not that I couldn't find a single copy of Fairie Tale Theater for my sister. Today, my perception of my to do list looks a little different and I dare say, will throughout the next four weeks.
To Do List -
Remember Yesterday
Be in the moment
Love
And even after the holidays, my to do list will begin this way. While other things will be added, this will be the headliner. I end my first month of the year long POTD ( picture of the day) project with Gage and his scarf. Not a bad way to end...
