It smells like Pine-Sol in here

-
We got our tree up and I love it! It was so fun to put up together! We do the fake tree thingy because hello! I don't like to clean my floor everyday. So we sprayed it with Pine-Sol and rubbed a car air freshener all over it's lovely boughs.
This one entertained herself by jumping on Daisy Dog. D.D. didn't mind because she had a chewy.

Rock, paper, scissors to see who gets to put the star on top.

The winner!
The finish. Ta dum!
(Corrine was reading this over my shoulder and goes, "The star is falling over." Ok, so we're not perfect. Sheesh! The dillusion is over.)

That would bug me if the star was leaning. Please make it straight or else I won't be able to stop thinking about it.

We have a white dove on the top of ours and it's falling over too :)
So...did you really put Pine-sol on your tree? That is so funny. I have an extra Spruceberry candle if you want it.

I really like the photo of Corrine and Hunter doing Rock, Paper, Scissors. Rinee looks like she is a reindeer with antlers! And a beauty at that! So sweet!

Mike is really thinking about going into the garage to get some antler sheds so that he can scratch away at the tree trunk. You know so it looks more realistic.

Hey I remember that tree... Well ya know what? Our tree came with lights on it already!!! Take that. Although I do miss setting up the tree and putting the lights on it and then the ornaments and then dancing around the living room and jumping on the couch singing Sleigh Ride by the Osmonds. And lastly after everything settled down, arguing with timmy. Ha! Those were the days.

I wonder if my man will ever grow his hair out? Don't you think that when a man has hair that is thick and rich like a man's hair should be, it should be long? No man-bun style though. Bleh. Kinda like this... But seriously. Who didn't have a crush on Grizzly Adams?  Hunta boi is playing football again. This year, the 2016-17 school year, will be his last year playing high school football. Say what?!? For reals. He's a senior y'all. A SENIOR. Can you hear my panic? Did you just see my eyeballs pop out of my head, roll across the floor, gather dust mites and come a rollin' back to me? That means we (I) only have a limited time left with him at home. The days are slipping away like seconds on a clock. Much as I try, I can't seem to stop that mean old man, Father Time, and his clock that is tick-tick-tocking away. Though I must say, we are SO proud of who he is growing up to be. Of who he is today. And we really are very excited to see where his lif...

I know I've told you before, but I'll say it again. I love to get my hair done. There's just something about having someone else play with my hair that puts me into a hypnotic state. It's soooo relaxing, and I love the feeling of fresh, soft, just done-by-someone-else hair. It's also something that I don't do often for 2 reasons: 1) I'm lazy and don't like having to maintain my hair. 2) It can get pretty pricey. It may be because I fell into one of those hypnotic states that the following disaster occurred. I guess my first clue of impending doom should have been when my stylist decided to get her nails done. At the same time that I showed up for my appointment. Now, I'm a compassionate person, I didn't think it was a big deal, so I shrugged it off, and waited patiently for her to finish. My next sign on the road to "bad hair-dom" was when she asked the stylist next to her what colors were used on my hair previously, because she j...
