Chris decided today would be a good day to put up the Christmas lights. This is interesting for two reasons. One, we have never put lights up outside in the six years we have lived here and two it is only ONE day after Thanksgiving and the so called magic of the season has not hit me yet. Chris went and dragged everything out and started working on creating a wonderland of lights.
Meanwhile the girls were watching the new Ariel movie. Amelia was inspired to dig out her Halloween costume which happened to be a mermaid outfit. She had me do her hair up and was way into character when she realized Chris was out working on the lights. She ran out to help him and totally refused to put a coat on. She threw a MAJOR mermaid fit. I said "Amelia it is cold out." She said "But mom I don't want to cover the beauty of the costume"...hmmm who can argue with that logic??
So the mermaid helped hang the lights in all her glory. Shivering and with blue lips but with a smile on her face.
