10 Random Things for Friday

1. I am absolutely not a black Friday shopper. I hate crowds, and I'm usually too busy and just don't care enough to research what's on sale anyway.
2. It finally feels cold out!
3. Remembering what day it is gets a little tricky when Maggie is off school for five days, and hubby is home from work for four days.
4. The kids are already on a terrible sleep schedule, with staying up late for stuff because they can then sleep in later in the morning (although Jack always chooses not to anyway). We're going to have to rein it in this weekend so we'll be ready for real life by Monday...
5. I'm so glad we can finally be excited about Christmas :)
6. Don't forget - there's still another day to enter my Melissa & Doug play food giveaway! 
7. Hopefully this will be our last year with a gate necessary around the Christmas trees....Luckily I think we can use the anchors already in the wall for the other gates. We just need a few more sections of gate. Oh, the concerns people without small children can forget about so quickly! ;)
8. I've got stuff to mail, but I don't want to spend family time going to the post office. It can wait until next week.
9. Need any fabulous gift ideas? I'd love to help you find something really unique through my Dove Chocolate Discoveries business. Shop around the site, then at the end when it asks, tell em you were invited to a chocolate tasting, and give Becki Bayley as the hostess name. If you're local to me, you can even ship your order to me to save a few bucks, and I'll deliver it to you during the second week of December. Thank you for your support!
10. By the way, I'm thankful to all of you for reading my daily ramblings. If you've got a blog and haven't seen me visiting, please leave your site in the comments - I'd love to check it out!
