one more sleep

As our kids were growing up, we used to count down to big events by how many sleeps it was. Each Christmas we'd pull out the Countdown bear that would be filled with treats in each pocket. As each day would pass the kids would move the bear and get the treat. It was never difficult to get the kids up for school through the month of December, because it meant that the first one up got to move the bear and therefore get the treat.

Times have changes considerably. Poor Mr. Bear had sat in Dec 1 pocket for about one week until I remembered to move him. In fact each week he'd jump a couple days to get caught up. Having our boys home over the Christmas holidays has brought back alot of memories of Christmas' in the past, it's been great reminiscing with them. So until the big day......

Blessings

Thanks for the reminder to again treasure each day..things change so fast, I am getting more and more nostalgic and think about how quickly things will change.

I needed the reminder to take each day and TREASURE it
