santa's little helper

i finally got the chance to do some christmas decorating today-- corey got the tree last night right before it started raining and i threw a string of lights on it to show james how fun it is to have the tree lit up (he was mesmerized by the tree at Taadu & Oma's house last weekend)... so this morning i started putting up our icicle lights that we hang above our windows, fishing the lights between the curtain rods... by the time my arms felt like they were going to fall off from holding them above my head so long, the lights for one window were finally done!

only to plug them in to discover they don't work... of course that would happen on the one string i didn't plug in first to check them

"oh no" i exclaimed

"wha happen?" asked james

"the lights aren't working!"

seeing the dismay on my face my son said "i give you hug" and walked over to console me... he then said "i get you skwewdrwiver to fix it" and went to the garage to grab one of his plastic screwdrivers

"oh thank you sweet pea but i don't think a screwdriver will fix the lights"

"i get you hammahr" and grabs a hammer for me instead

what a great little helper i have!

Most things can be fixed with a good whack from a hammer! Too cute! I miss you all so much! Can't wait to see everyones photos. The kids really liked seeing the pictures. Give your cuties a hug for me!

I don't know I think I would have used the hammer and smashed those bloody things for not working :) *smiling. Such a little helper! Hope you guys have a wonderful holiday!! PS Glad you thought the hair was beautiful, send ESP vibes to the hubby over here who is not so liking it :). Cheers-Aimee
