We put up the tree!

I have nothing useful to share today, except that the Carroll County 4H group is adding "Clover Kids" this winter, a club for K-3rd graders, so get registered! You can hang out with Simon and do 4H-y things, like...well, really, I have no idea. But I'm sure it's wholesome and educational, and you only have to pay $30 per year for your child to be in as many 4H clubs as he/she wants to be in. Isaac is doing "Outdoor Adventures" and the "Health Careers Club," and I think there will be a book club later this winter. The ISU Extension office, where you register, is by Anytime Fitness and the laundromat.
Anyway, we did put up our Christmas tree, which is aggravating for me (perfectionist, not sentimental, annoyed by broken lights and ornaments without hooks) but enjoyable for everyone else (non-perfectionist, sentimental, like to touch and look at shiny things). The evidence:
 Isaac mad; Simon happy and pre-nosebleed.
 Isaac happy; Simon mad and post-nosebleed (see shirt).
Grace was napping and missed the fun, so here she is eating a Pop Tart. Could be her last; this was the worst mess to clean up ever.

  1. Your kids are so cute! I recognize Esme's dress! We are doing Clover kids this year too. Our group is really fun- last year the girls got to play with baby goats & bunnies (highlight). It was well worth the money & effort.
    Our tree is half un-lit. Quit trying for perfectionism, just be happy your lights work.
