So we've established that I get a little "over achieving" when it comes to lots of things, right?
Such as the size of my Christmas Tree?
Well, the stand that Terrance bought leaked...so he had to take the tree down to return the stand ( one of those super duper swivel self watering things)
Since the tree was down, he decided to "trim" the trunk a bit. You know, make a fresh cut so the water could get in...and lower the tree a bit.
I was in the front of the house, decorating the porch, so I was unaware of his evil machinations in the back.
Until I saw this:
ACK! I believe we have the lead player for "LOG" on the Ren and Stimpy show. Its big, it's heavy, it's wood!
Next came Dawn pleading "Just leave me enough branches on the bottom...OH MY GOD! STOP CUTTING THE BRANCHES!!! YOU'RE BUTCHERING THE TREE!!!"
And while I am not admiting a thing....This is what the tree now looks like:
Not so bad I guess. And Emily didn't notice a Thing. The extra branches off the bottom gave me enough greenery to do this:
Ok, yes - I know. A bit much Dawn? I know - but the neighbor has strung up these multicolored lights over the front door in the shape of a Christmas tree ( see exhibit A) - as if to broadcast to the neighbourhood that the people in this duplex have no taste! LOOK!
So I had to redeem us somehow.
Tonight I plan on shredding the trunk to make homemade wrapping paper...
Kidding.
Maybe.
