oh Christmas tree!

30 seconds after my son John came home from his dad's house , he was ready to go buy our tree. "Can we go now, can we?" It sounded like he was 8 yrs old again. We drove down to our local fire house, where we've been getting our trees for as long as I can remember. This year John did the driving. Of course he picked the biggest tree in the lot (almost). The fire dept. is nice enough to deliver it every year.

When the tree was delivered we realized it wouldn't fit in the living room (too tall). So the tree spent the night out in the yard & this afternoon Matt took out his tools and played lumber jack... he removed at least a foot from each end. After dinner John took all the decorations out the attic & started trimming our tree. Now he's asleep on the couch & only half the decorations are up. He's good out of the gate, but the kid lacks stamina.

Young kid fuel

PS2 + Junk Food + Having it their way = Job Completion

That might be a good recipe, but this kid doesn't eat junk food.
