Charge it we did, Angie. Thanks for the advice. Friday we hit the stores again whilst Granny babysat. Time sure does fly when you''re shopping. More charge it going on. I need to get another job, or less grandchildren. Hey, but i'm not complaining. Just mortgage the house. Thanks granny, you did a good job -- do you have experience or something?

Saturday found us undecorating the house and redecorating with a myriad of lights and various snowman apparatuses. Or should I say apparati? After having arisen at 6:30 am, due to two young children not wanting to stay in the ol woman in the shoe's comfortable beds, we began what we thought would be a fruitful Christmas prep day. By 11:30 AM, We were ready to pull out our hair, so we piled the kids into the CRV, drove up the road and convinced Mr. Grasse to let us continue our yearly tradition of cutting down one of his trees, although he is no longer in business. Guess he likes us.

Doug cut it with his one good hand, while Aiden ran through the forest and Sarah flailed about
In her snowsuit.

To make a long story short, it is now Sunday night and all that adorns the tree is a cornucopia of colored lights. We'll work on it this week between feedings, bum changes, games, radio shows, meal prep, teaching and so on.
