Leaning Tower

Last night Momoko stayed up late. Around 4:00 am I asked her to go to bed. She agreed. That's why I did not find it strange that at noon she said she still needed some more sleep. Little Kat loves this. He sneaks downstairs and has the big screen TV all to himself.

Finally the family all got up. First Kit Kat drove to pick us up some fast food. Then it was time to get to work. I have been sick recently so we have had no company over the house. It was time to get this house ready.

The big chore was to get our Christmas tree standing up straight. It was leaning a little bit. Then the kids put a star on top, making it tilt some more. Little Kat tried to figure out what was wrong with the base. No luck. They ended up sticking some paper under one of the legs, like you would a wobbly table. Now the thing it reasonably straight. We even got a few gifts under the tree already.

Out with the Old

Today the kids got some DVD videos for St. Nick's day. I was told that I got a video too. However it went straight into the DVD library. That will teach me to not put out my shoe.

Tomorrow is trash day. In the cold outside, I sadly loaded up our old Christmas tree parts into the trash cans. It was time to retire that faithful tree.

Momoko had to take Little Kat to the doctor today. She took advantage of the day off by purchasing a new star for the top of our Christmas tree. It is a red glittery thing. Looks good.

After work, the family watched The Sorcerer's Apprentice with Nick Cage. Momoko and I actually saw it in the theater. It was new for the kids though. Was just as enjoyable the second time around.

The Tree is Up

Last weekend the cats tried to put up the Christmas tree. However some technical difficulties with the lights caused a slight delay. This weekend they came back in full force. The tree is now up.

The star at the top of the tree is dim. But we can live with that. The hardest part seemed to be fitting all the presents under the tree. And I have not even wrapped the gifts I am giving.

I think Little Kat decorated our front door as well. We don't need too much. We are going out of town for Christmas. Personally I am looking forward to a "Wii" Christmas. Do you know what I am saying?
