All I want is peace and quiet. I want to sit, put on some Bing Crosby and gaze upon my beautiful tree.
I attempted to do this. Soon, I had tackling boys join me in the room by the tree. At no point had I said, “Hey, guys! Get in here quick and start wrestling like maniacs!”
I tried oh-so-very hard to ignore them.
Impossible.
I knew my moments of silent reflection were slipping away once T.Puzzle decided to run speed tests on his backwards running ability. FYI, backwards running is not one of his shining strengths. Thankfully, he holds tightly to that wonderful six-year-old mentality that he is hands-down amazing at everything (or is that a trait inherited from Mad Dog?!?).
Full Speed added his two cents by creating this ‘Deck the Halls’ gem:
“‘Tis the season to listen to your Mommy… fa la la la la, la la la la
‘You better listen or she will punish you… fa la la la la, la la la la”
He is clearly showing signs of being an astute and accurate lyricist who can capture a moment in time beautifully.
Quiet and Christmas just aren’t meant to be at this juncture in my life.
Honestly, I wouldn’t want it any other way.
Writes for all Mommies 
You have 2 beautiful boys! I hope you used this picture as your photo Christmas card this year!
Thank you so much! That picture was from last year but it is one of my favorite Christmas photos of them. I wish you and your whole family a blessed holiday!
