Anyone Else?

I have tried to avoid this... the explosion on the refrigerator door. But try as I may, every time I remove something off the fridge that I think no one will notice, my plans are thwarted. "Mom, where'd my superman picture go? That was one of my best." or "Mom, I hung that Spiderman picture RIGHT there. Who took it?" or "Mom, why is that Batman picture in the recycling bin? Silly Mom, you must have thought that was trash..." as one of the little boys recovers it from the bin and re-hangs it back on the door.

All this to say, I really do LOVE the mess on the refrigerator door. It's beautiful. My mom cleaned out my entire fridge the other day, inside and out, bless her heart. And when she had the front all shined up and emptied, I thought how sterile it looked with no pictures and coloring pages on it. So, while I do enjoy a clean refrigerator door, I don't enjoy it enough to keep it empty. I love the coloring pages and pictures and handprints even more!

Btw, if you're waiting on a Christmas card from us, you'll be waiting for awhile. December has been a challenging month, and when I recv'd our first card in the mail (way to go Marcy!), I thought ... oh shoot... I completely forgot about Christmas cards this year! Oh well, we'll send out a spring card or just skip it altogether and mail some next year. Merry Christmas from us - and we'll thoroughly enjoy all of your cards hanging on our doorway. I love seeing all the pictures!
