I KNOW...IT'S A MESS..A VERY BIG ONE..AND I GUESS THAT IS WHY SCOTT IS BENT ON PUTTING IT UP AS SOON AS NOVEMBER 1st ARRIVES..IT'S A BEAST!!! AND HE WANTS TO ENJOY IT FOR AS LONG AS HE CAN BEFORE WE HAVE TO TAKE IT DOWN AGAIN...MY PARENTS FOUND IT AT SAM'S FOR A SUPER LOW PRICE WHEN WE MOVED IN OUR HOUSE CLOSE TO SEVEN YEARS AGO...AND THAT WAS THEIR GIFT TO US BECAUSE WE MOVED IN RIGHT AT CHRISTMAS TIME..IT IS A HUMONGO TALL TREE..AND WE LOVED IT..UNTIL AFTER THAT FIRST YEAR WE TOOK IT DOWN :) NAH, ACTUALLY WE STILL LOVE IT BUT IT IS A SERIOUS JOB TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER..THE LIGHTS KEEP FLICKERING OUT AND BRANCHES HAVE FALLEN OFF AND IT TAKES ABOUT THREE OR FOUR HOURS TO BE STRAIGHTENED ALL BACK OUT..SO, I CALLED IN THE BIG DOG...
MEET SCOTTJ....WHOM I'M VERY THANKFUL FOR..BECAUSE HE IS THE MASTER OF PUTTING UP THE ARTIFICIAL TREE (OH I SO WOULDN'T WANT TO TACKLE THIS PROJECT..EVER!!!!)...CAN'T YOU JUST FEEL THE LOVE ON HIS FACE FOR THIS TREE...THIS IS HIM ACTUALLY IMMITATING MY "FAKE SMILE" AS HE LIKES TO CALL IT WHEN I GIVE HIM THE "FAKE SMILE" WHEN I'M TRULLY NOT EXCITED ABOUT SOMETHING....
TONIGHT, NANA IS SPENDING THE NIGHT WITH US BECAUSE THE KIDS ARE OUT OF SCHOOL TOMORROW AND PAPA IS AWAY FOR A WEEKEND OF GOLF..AND WE ARE GOING TO ATTEMPT TO DECORATE "THE BEAST"...I'LL POST SOME "AFTER" PICTURES SOON...DID I MENTION...I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE CHRISTMAS!!!!!!
