Oh, wait. I take that back. We were ready for Christmas until the boys informed us that only the inside of our house was ready. They claimed that our poor, undecorated, plain ole boring outside was the saddest house on the street. They went so far as to claim that Santa may not even like our house enough to stop by on Christmas Eve. My, oh, my. We could not have that. Leave it to Memphis weather to provide us with a 64 degree day this week....perfect for hanging lights outside. Of course, out of the 12 strands of light we had only 5 of them worked. We made due and now 4 of the bushes in our front year bear twinkling lights. Now we're good to go.
Hold up a minute. Not so fast. Our boys have not let us off the hook just yet. They are now claiming that lights are not decorations....they are just, well....lights. A Christmas tree has lights AND decorations. And that is in fact what the outside of our house needs....at least according to Kaleb and Nathan. I don't really know what we're going to do to remedy this problem....any suggestions?

I'm thinking that a bag full of wiffle golf balls and some string would make some good outdoor decorations to hang on the shrubs. Then, when spring arrives, they can practice their swings with them.
