The Tree

We heard about a U-cut Christmas Tree farm
with a wonderful deal--
any tree for $25.
We'll take that.
The grandpa's that owned the place were really sweet
and loaded us up with candy canes and cocoa.
And we found a perfect tree.

D's contribution was whacking the tree with a saw cover.

The next day was for tree decorating!
But first we needed to do a little bit
of couch jumping.

 

And chair sitting.

 



Ready!

Yeah for Christmas trees!

Double Date

How lucky I am to be able to step out to the theater
with not just one, but two
handsome men.

 

It was a play

performed by 2nd-5th graders.

An amazingly talented group of kids.

It was pretty impressive.

Kyler says never,

but Kacin now thinks

he might like to try his hand at theater sometime.

 



But until that time when he is on the stage,
I think he is pretty content
being in the audience
munching on Halloween candy.

Kyler's Wolf

He earned it with more than a month to spare before turning 9 and become a Bear. Congrats, Kyler, on earning your Wolf!

Zoo Lights

This Christmas month

I am feeling

determined

no matter how long it takes

to load everyone into the car

or how crazy it is to keep every one content

or how often we have to eat out

because I am too busy loading up diaper bags and helping with homework and managing behavior

to cook anything

no matter

We are getting out

and enjoying the festivities of the season.

 

First adventure:

Zoo Lights

which included "snow" falling, indoor snowmen and snowball fights, lights, reindeer, and a few animals
