Typical

The kids were so sweetly playing with some small wooden nativity figurines this afternoon as they were decorating the Christmas tree in the playroom. They were so quiet and sweet and cute that I ran for the camera...just in time to catch Autumn tackling Joshua because he touched something of hers. Welcome to our life.



Oh, and then they decided to hang small glass balls on the tree which Joshua discovered "pop," as in break, when you squeeze them between your fingers. He discovered this three times. In two hours. Much to the dismay of everyone in the family, including himself. We have never seen the pouty lip and tears before but they sure came out tonight when he was reprimanded. And that's not even the real tree. Luckily most of those ornaments are handmade and unbreakable (I think!)

Ha ha ha! I think our trees will look similarly bald on the bottom 1/3 this year. :)

Ah, the camera never lies, hunh? Somewhere, I think in Chicago, is a movie (You know, in the OLDEN days!) of Jean smacking her younger cousin Stan for doing something similar.
