Home School Life

Ooh, six more days!

Tonight we went to get our tree. I can never get my tree before school gets out, so we always head out the Saturday after school gets out and get it. This usually means that we get a GREAT deal, and this year was no different. We went to a small locally-owned lot where they were willing to deal. When we walked in the teenage son of the owner asked what size we were looking for. I said, “Small, cheap. We’re looking to talk you down on a discount tree.” He said, “Yeah, we’ll do that. We just want to sell as many as possible.” When I told him we wanted to spend $20 he showed me the trees we could choose from. We picked the biggest, most beautiful one and when we realized that I had forgotten to take the car-box off the roof of my car, he offered to deliver it! Awesome! It’s still in the driveway at the moment, while we all finish eating, then we’ll break out the eggnog and Christmas music and pretty it up.

In the meantime I’ve been surfing around looking at potential presents and I am currently coveting something from Lisa Leonard Designs.  Especially this. Or this. Or maybe I should get someone I love this. Really, everything there is so beautiful.

Well, we’re off to do the tree. Crappy iPhone pictures to follow.
