BAH HUMBUG

Today after Madelyn and I got home from church we decorated the tree and house. I really wasn't in the mood to decorate, even with the Christmas music blaring. It just seems like so much work when it is going to have to be taken down in less than a month. I'm also a bit particular about where ornaments go on my tree and when Madelyn helps they all go in the same area and I end up moving them. Call me a scrooge, but I really would like to resort to a table top tree that doesn't need decorating. However, since I have a five year old in the house I will do my best to put on a happy face, sing a Christmas tune and decorate until Madelyn is old enough not to care. As we were decorating inside Ryan was putting the lights on the outside of our house. His grumpiness about putting on the lights makes me look like a Christmas Saint.



Jen and Garrett came down today to pick up Matt. They were lucky enough to get to witness my grumpiness. But, they did put me in a much better mood. Matt showed off his airsoft gun to Ryan and as I stepped outside to take a few pictures Ryan unloaded the gun on me. I have several welts on my back, neck and arms from that. Jen, Matt and Ryan couldn't stop laughing. I had a few choice words to say about that. Needless to say I will not be playing airsoft with them any time soon. OUCH!!



Garrett and Madelyn played outside and were pretending to be poor folks. Then they decided they were going to rake leaves and throw them in Madelyn's playhouse.
