Is it just me or is that Advent Calendar taunting me each morning? I swear I can hear it saying something like, "Na na na na boo boo... Jenn, you better get your act together because there are only 6 days left."
So basically, I panicked this morning. My sweet kids did not help the situation. After a lovely performance by Ellison at the All Saints School Christmas Pageant, Ellison and Dylan were both guilty of grabbing one to many cookies (or maybe 5). As a result, they tossed and turned throughout the evening and I played musical beds.
Sleep deprived (as always), cup of coffee in hand, both children woke up with a sugar hangover (and extra early). Door #6 on the Advent Calendar was the last straw... it taunted me.
And tomorrow is Door #5.
Oh well, the good thing about me is that I panic and then move towards action. Panic is over, kids have come down from the sugar high, and present list is now checked. Phew.
A few pictures to explain what sugar does to my children:

| You can see remnants of the first cookie all over his mouth. The problem is that he snuck off and had more! |

| Refusal to leave stage. Still cute, but on a sugar high. |
Sweet Ellison

| Sure, I will cooperate. |

| Me? Cooperate? Never! |
