Today’s the day we head to the hills to cut down our tree. We’re leaving in caravan at 9:30 with our friends the Harris’s. They sign up for the permits from the forest service and Carrie calls a day ahead to get sandwich orders from everyone. It’s a fun time and a great tradition now that the boys are older. The best thing is the tree is so fresh that it’d last to Spring if we wanted it to!<\/p>\n
Yesterday we managed to keep Lori laying low for most of the day. She did get up too fast once to break up a skirmish between the boys. Of course it was over something important like Jag touching Ty’s stick. That’s right, a stick, oh boy.<\/p>\n
I was at the grocery store so I couldn’t squash the whole thing before it started. Jag didn’t start it or do anything to escalate it so we were very proud of him. Don’t get me wrong, he has his moments too.<\/p>\n
Lacey woke me a bit before 5 and Lori said she’d get up but I told her to stay in bed. I think she’s a little better as she needed a day of rest. Ty had a sleep over at Nick’s after they both played here for the afternoon. I was going to keep him in his room for his little tantrum but changed my mind when Nick called just to get him out of Mom’s hair. Good parenting by me!<\/p>\n
Time to run, we’ll post pictures tomorrow of our tree. Hope everyone is well, it’s December 1st tomorrow, hard to believe it. Where does the time go, where does life go? Don’t waste a minute as you’ll never get it back!<\/p>\n
God Bless<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
