Well, yesterday didn't exactly go as planned, but it all worked out in the end! We didn't get the lights on the house, but we did get the ones on the bushes. And they are colored. I am a white light person (except for on the Christmas tree) and Sean is a colored light person. For years he has tolerated my white lights outside, with the exception of the blue and green ones that we've added over the past few years. Well, yesterday after we pulled out all of our lights and realized none of them worked, I made a trip to Target (bummer - lol) to get new ones! Lemme tell ya. The shelves were almost bare. I think the warm weather enticed everyone to put up their lights yesterday. After standing in front of the light section for WAY too long, I ended up with 900 colored lights for our bushes. Sean is a happy guy!
We ended up putting the lights up in the dark. By the time I got home and we had dinner (we had skipped lunch since we were on the road) we had lost all light. So we bundled our sweet baby boy up in his snow suit and winter jacket, complete with hat and mittens! He was very unimpressed by it all. I was going to take a picture but decided not to put him through the torture. Once outside, he did have fun although moving around proved to be challenging for him but he did get the hang of it.
In the end we have beautifully decorated bushes and the house will just have to wait until next weekend!
Today was busy with cleaning the house from my week of recovery from 'symptoms' (you will never hear me say the words, "I am sick") and with grocery shopping for the stuff I need to make all four pies for Thanksgiving.
Sean is in Cincinnati tonight at our meeting and I am here with Cory (since Rose is in Pakistan) who is sleepy soundly in his bed. So, I am going to treat myself to some "do what I want to do" time, although I'm not quite sure what that is yet! Hmmm.....
