THE tree


We decorated the tree on Sunday afternoon! I think it looks really nice this year! The pic is a little disappointing since you can't see the twinkling white glow from the lights! One of my favorite things about it is that we have a great window in the front of the house so you can see it from the street! So here are my sweethearts in front of the tree!
no. of days tree has been decorated: 2
no. of ornaments broken: 2

I will keep you posted as we progress through the holiday season with Mark Destructo! He loves the ball ornaments, and they slip off their hangers so easily that he steals them and carries them around the house. He really likes bears, so I pointed out all the ornaments that were bears. Bad idea! Today I found him making a ceramic bear ornament "dance" on the tile floor! Poor little bear lost his tail and half of his back. I have to commend the bear for making it through about ten or so bangs/dance steps before I could rush in to see what the banging glass noise was! The second casualty was a glass football ornament; he threw it, again, onto the tile!
We also lost one of the wise men from our nativity set! I think Mark had something to do with that too! Good news! He has been found and returned to his rightful place of eternally guarding baby Jesus! What would we have done with only 2 shephards?!! I shudder at the blasphemy!

Sounds to me like your slacking on your discipline. Mitchell never got to play with the ornaments and he also could only play with the little nativity figurines at the table they were on. Even though I'm the little sister between us and I got away with alot more that you I still gotta make sure that both of my boys are being treated equally. Mitchell will always remember the stuff mark got away with that he didnt! Don't you? you know I love ya sis. See ya in a few weeks for the wedding event of the century!!!! lol
