Not the way I would do it

Do you ever get certain thoughts in your head about ways things should be done?  Things around the house?  Ways the house is "run"?  I do. Please, I am a type A.... do it my way..... I'll do it myself.... kind of girl.  Especially where the boys are concerned, I've done things my way for a while now.  WELL.... now that I'm working out of town 4 days a week, TH has stepped up. 

If I'm honest, there are times I want to say, "That's not the way to do it." or "Do it this way." But you know what?  He's getting it done and doing it well.  Over text a few times he has told me he has things under control. And he does!  It's been good for my husband and for our boys to have him more involved in day to day life.  Don't get me wrong.  TH has always been an awesome husband and great father but I've handled most things where our boys are concerned.  Now two days a week, TH is in charge of the boys.  He handles school drop off and has the two little ones for the day.  I do my best to have dinner in the crockpot or something assembled that just needs to be popped in the oven.  If I can get TH to take over some cooking duties, I would have it made!! (You'll notice I'm not holding my breath on that one.) 

So while things aren't being done how I would do them, they are being handled.  I'm one lucky lady to have such a great husband and father to our sons!!

Decorated!

 

Decorating the tree was so much fun this year!  We decorated the big tree as a family, and then TH helped the boys decorate theirs.  I couldn't hand the boys ornaments fast enough.

 

TH helping Lil Man and Baby Boy put the ornaments in just the right place.  Obviously given their height, the bottle part of the tree was covered. 

 

A little brotherly love!

 

And it's done!! Minus the tree skirt of course.

 

Got to have one of mommy and her sweet baby.... it's this little guy's first Christmas.

 

Sitting in the den at night when the house is quiet with the Christmas tree as my only light..... one of my absolute favorites of Christmas times.  Hearing the boys argue over who is going to turn on their Christmas tree is pretty special too.  Christmas time with children is just so incredibly special.
