Got a lot done...

So today was one of those days that I got a lot done. At work I accomplished a lot, which was a good feeling. Finally after a long month my desk is becoming clean from the stacks of paperwork. I finally feel like it is organized. After work I rushed home to get some work done outside before the sun went down. I hate how dark it gets so early. I got out the lawn mower and decided that would be the best way to get the leaves up from the back yard. I was impressed at how fast it was to bag them that way. So I took the lawn mower to the front yard and decided to tackle the huge pile. I made good progress, but still have a long way to go.....

After I did some laundry, put up the Christmas tree- that is right. I figured it would be best to slowly take the next few days getting the tree up and decorated. I never have the block of time to get it all done at once... so slow and steady is the way to go. The plan is to have it all up and ready for the day after Thanksgiving. What can I say I am a Christmas girl. I love the holidays and love to decorate for it. All I can say is that this year's tree is bigger and better than last year's already.... (thanks Ashley)

(don't mind the pumpkin in the same picture as my Christmas tree... it will be put away soon)

So I haven't blogged for awhile so I thought I would do some quick catching up. There are stories but I will spare them on the blog and just get to the good stuff, which is the pictures.
