the tree!

is kind of a nightmare. Pierce's fave thing to do is go over, pick a ball off, remove the hanger , and chuck the damn balls all over the freaking house. the main theme is fuchsia, but i have silver , turquoise and lime green . all glittery, some shiny (because they came in the same boxes of colors) and ALL PLASTIC. the fancy way to say it is shatterproof, but ya know they are SOOO plastic. it's ok then it makes it fine for Pierce to strip everything off he can reach , and practice his throw. he has a good arm for a 16 month old.

Then, i didn't like the ribbon i had used yesterday,there was an empty spot on the front and no more ribbon so tonight i took everything off and re did it with different fuchsia ribbon. Of course Lance liked yesterday's ribbon better, or just the application of it (who freaking knows!) but the kids loved helping put the balls on again. I do have a couple kid ornaments already up and i don't mind that they don't match because my kiddies made them for me with love. i love how they are for me and not for Lance(they don't put his name on them, just "mom"and they give then to me to open) . and then there are the toys Liberty added hangers or string to and hung, like the ninja turtle action figure and a strawberry shortcake toy from McDonald's. we are fancy! let me tell ya! oh and the topper? LAME, well i can't find mine from last year, and so far i have yet to find one that either coordinates, or matches. and i bought a super cheezy one today at tar-jay and yet. it was too cheap and small looking i couldn't hack it. it might just end up with a bow on top.

Pictures? you wanna see the fuchsia tree? i am feeling all sorts of pressure becuase you guys wanna see it. what if it is dorky, or stupid looking? ARGHG! i'll show you. but i haven't taken pictures yet. lemme finish the decorating , take some pictures TONIGHT BEFORE I GO TO BED, and before Pierce begins again with the wonder of tearing off the ornaments and chucking them across the room. then I'll post them tomorrow. and warning it isn't all that great . some people have only one of every ornament on their tree, as a result of years of collecting? well mine has an A$$load of the same thing over and over. yeah so don't be disappointed. i like the matchy thing. and have searched for more of the same today. but since it is last minute, i am struggling to find 'em. today i went to 2 Targets, 2 Walmarts, 2 Michaels and one Marshalls. and i am already thinking about which targets and Michaels i am hitting tomorrow. i am on a quest!
