Decking The Halls

With a major rain and windstorm on the horizon we decided Saturday was the perfect day to string up some outdoor Christmas lights. We're festive people - that's just how we roll.
Matt hauled out all the boxes of lights and put his little elves to work in the "test environment."

Pin the Tail on the Reindeer....


Liam's latest ambitions are to be a "leaf blower man" or a "garbage truck" so he combined the tasks and busied himself with collecting leaves and stuffing them down the drain.



Sarah didn't have to do much but look cute, and I think she pulled it off....




The kids and I bailed on the project shortly after Matt's balancing-on-the-recycling-bin trick. We tried to lure him into the warm house with a cup of hot chocolate...with a staggering mini-marshmallow to cocoa ratio! 'Cause that's how Liam rolls!
