This is the first entry for my 2009 Daily December album:
Day 1 - Front Page
Journaling: Today was spent shopping for all of the finishing touches for decorating the house. Mom & I went to TJ Maxx, Marshall’s, and Michaels, toting Dylan everywhere we went. Then, we decorated and cleaned up all of the craziness. I tried to get ready for tomorrow night’s party fighting the two crazy monsters who were destroying as I was cleaning. They ended up in bed by 7 pm!
- Day 1 – Back Page
The full moon was out tonight and I think my kids knew it. We’ve been reading a book, called Dogteam for the last two weeks. It’s about a team of huskies running through the snow at night. It is beautifully illustrated and is written in a simple poetic way. It is a pleasure to read it aloud to my dog-loving boy. In the inside cover, there is an illustration of a single wolf howling at the moon. We’ve acted this part out many times. So, after I sent the kids to bed, there was a lot of protesting and then there was howling (I believe, at the moon). What an appropriate finish to this day!
Oh, that’s gorgeous! I love the contrast of the house during the day and at night.
