We got our tree!
We went to the woods behind our house and chopped it down! The kids hate it and wish we had a fake tree with more branches. HH & I love it! I guess the kids will have "fond" memories of the crazy trees mom and dad always got for Christmas!
Here's a pic from the kitchen. I made the garland out of the leftover bamboo I had when I trimmed the blinds. I kept the leftovers for some project, I just wasn't sure what until now!
Here are all the decorations. It doesn't look like so much.
Since nobody likes the poor tree, nobody wanted to help decorate it.... Maybe I'll have to do it myself. Or maybe we'll leave the tree as-is with just the lights and some beads.
HH and I went to Charlottetown Saturday night for HH's school Christmas party. It was nice to see some of his classmates I'd already met and to meet some new ones.
We also went to Cottage Industry, where I finally ordered a rug for the front room. I got a gift certificate from there for Christmas last year! It was hard for me to make a decision of what to buy. So, I was glad to finally decide! HH helped by saying, "That looks like a good rug." ;-) They had to order it and it'll be in around the 23rd or 24th so we may get it after Christmas! This is what I remember the rug looks like.
We had a rushed start to the morning. Mondays always seem to be hard on the kids to wake up. Both kids were slow to get up so I blasted the radio! That got DS up so he was able to have breakfast and get ready. DD still didn't wake so she didn't have time for breakfast or brushing her teeth. I just gave her some gum to chew! Then, when it was time to catch the bus, DS actually missed it because he won't walk out to the bus if it's already waiting. DD caught the bus since she doesn't mind walking out! Missing the bus drives me crazy!! Although, it's only a 5-7 minute drive to school. I told DS he owes me $3 for the ride. He wasn't happy! Well, I wasn't either, although I'm trying to get over it. ;-)
Hope your week is fantastic and everybody catches the bus on time! :-)
