While I was finishing up my house work (lol) for the evening, I found my buddies just like this.  They were talking about our first Christmas in our new house.  Noelle has lofty holiday decorating envisions… we shall see (Mommy girl’s tired)!

This is a picture of Noelle with her "trash box."  Every night we’re out at the house she collects discarded wire and adds it to her trash pile.  She is so proud of herself (this was her idea) and her little contribution, and we think it’s really thoughtful.
