No cards from us this year

Happy Holidays!
Top Ten Reasons you are not getting a Christmas card from our family.
10. Have you met Jack? If you have than you know we are very busy around this house keeping him from killing himself (today’s event was when he was using a piece of cardboard to slide down the stairs. How does he come up with this stuff????)
9. We are expecting a baby girl in February! I tend to use pregnancy as an excuse to get out of anything, from pumping my own gas to sending out Christmas cards.
8. For some reason, we decided that now is the perfect time to put our house up for sale. At 8 months pregnant….hmmmm….this was not a good plan.
7. We left all of the house projects to wait until the last minute, so we have been super busy painting, tiling and organizing.
6. Jay has been very busy with his job lately and we really didn’t want to have to photo shop him into the picture.
5. I have been taking a ton of pictures of Jack for a Christmas card, but the little tike is so fast, all I have are pictures of his back as he runs away from me.
4. Can I claim that I am just trying to save trees by not sending them out?
3. I have long since given up on having Jay help me with Christmas cards and Jack just stared at me blankly when I asked him to help.
2. We DID have serious plans on sending out Happy New Year's cards, but that too slipped right by us.
1. Again, I have to blame Jack. He is one busy, busy kid! Just keeping him from dismembering himself is a full time job!

We (OK, just me, Jay really isn't too hung up about this) really feel bad about not sending out cards to our friends and family. I swear, next year it will be done!
