The neighbors are looking at us funny

November30

We had a great week with Steve home.  The girls loved having Daddy around full time.  I have no idea where the week went.  I wanted to go check out the Opryland Hotel in all of its Christmas glory and take our Christmas card photo while Steve was off…I didn’t do either.  We just enjoyed being together.  And we walked and drove around picking up sticks.  It is for a project I will share soon.  But the neighbors are starting to look at us odd.  While they are all decorating for Christmas, we have a pile of dead tree branches in the driveway.  And we keep coming home with more – because I have to have the perfect dead tree branches.  Because I have a little OCD streak that I work hard to keep in check. (Anyone who knows me in real life knows that I refuse to decorate for Christmas prior to December 1st.  Blame my mother.)

Photos from our walk and playground stop yesterday:

I didn’t notice until we got home and I looked at the photos that Daddy put her shoes on the wrong feet.

    LOL – esp the look on Sabrina’s face with the shoes on the wrong feet – but I guess it did not stop her from having tons of fun at the park. Glad you had a family filled week.

    You need to go to the ice castle place for me. I loooove it and the girls would love the slides.

    Also, how long do I have to wait for branch details? I’m curious!

    I let the boys dress themselves except for church. I’m pretty sure we’re the freaks of the neighborhood.
