It was in my pursuit to make it even more memorable that I stumbled across a great deal to be had at the local Wallyworld. Light up holiday figures that you could hang in your window. A small extension cord and voila! It would just add to the ambience of the season.
As I hung the window ornaments, I was very pleased. They looked good. All of them. I would show you photos of them all, however, this post is just about one. And one only.
In the kitchen window, I had this.
And we spent the entire Christmas season with it lit up. It was great!
The time came to put the season away and #2 pointed out to me that something didn't seem quite right about the wreath. To be quite honest, he said it looked a little "whacked". As he and I stood there and stared at to see if we could figure just what was wrong with it, he said "Mom! It's upside down!!" he stated as the holiday light fixture was taken down.
"No, I don't think so" I replied.
"Turn it over, you'll see."
#2 was right.
This year, I hung the wreath again, however this time, I took the time to have a good look at it and make sure I hung it as it should be hung.
After a couple of days of having #2 snicker everytime he came into the kitchen I finally asked what he was giggling at. It took some time to get it out of him. He really didn't want to tell me. He was enjoying whatever it was that was so funny immensly!
Finally he relented and 'fessed up. He nodded toward the the window and said, "Mom, you screwed it up again".
I shook my head and immediately rectified the situation.
At least this year it was fixed BEFORE Christmas.
And next year?
#2 is decorating the house for Christmas....
Merry Merry!!
