Yes, we realize that it's not even Thanksgiving yet, but we decided to get all of the holiday decorations up early this year. Pete will be going on a 10-day stint to Dubai shortly, so we wanted to enjoy them a bit earlier. It only took us about an hour last night, thanks to Andrew and his ability to order us around.
"Mom, I do it, no my turn, right now."
"No, Daddy, no, my turn."
"Doin' Daddy? Doin'? My turn."
"Open on it. My turn. Open on it. Right now."
After the boys got the tree up, I had visions of us all happily placing the trimmings on the tree.
It didn't take long for that vision to come to a screeching halt.
Apparently I didn't want my almost 2-year-old touching the glittery, breakable ornaments.
And my other helper was busy playing with the camera.
Before long, this was the scene.
Poor kid. I made it up to him by bringing him with to Hardware Hank for paint samples tonight. He wore his turkey hat, sunglasses upside down, and carried a button the whole time.
