The Jesse tree is up and it is beginning to look a little like Christmas

I had a tough time finding a tree branch this year to use for the Jesse tree so I just decided to get a skinny, country looking artificial tree and use that. I will post pics tomorrow to show what it is already looking like after just a few readings. I finally finished cleaning the "son" room. That room is always the worst as we spend most of our time there with school, toy area and computer area. I managed to muster the energy to retrieve the Christmas decorations so tomorrow is the official starting date of decorating. I absolutely LOVE this time of year. Oh I will also post some more pic tomorrow of some more organizing ideas which include shoe storage, coat storage and backpack storage. We have a very old house with little to no closet space so I had to be a little creative. Note the little in that sentence.
