Dinner, Dessert, Christmas tree hunting, and a homeless cat.... This was our night tonight. I decided I was going to invite Ram and his new wife to Alex's birthday dinner at Applebee's. Dinner went ok. She is nice he is still the same...
So after dinner we went looking for a Charlie Brown tree... We decided on this because of one our budget but also Malcolm played this music in the Band Christmas concert and I bought the Charlie Brown Christmas piano book for Sebastian and anyone else that wants to play it. I have to say it is also one way to make me feel better for not being able to get anything better.
So the tree hunting. I check out some place first to make sure I could afford the tree. Then we went back tonight. The went straight for the giant 12 foot trees... uh kids.. the Charlie brown tree? So they found what Cole called a chug butt! Short and fat. Shorter than I thought we would end up with. They said it was 5 feet that is if you take into account of the the stem that stood straight up for the angel. You know what I mean right? Until they went to put it up and bent that part. So maybe 4 foot. That is pushing it... As we were trying to get it in the stand I started to notice the bugs on it... Yes BUGS! Green ones spiders.... So I had the older boys take it out and shake it... Finally got it situated and wow it looks so sad!lol
When we first got home there was a cat standing in our walk. Now it is COLD very Cold tonight. SO the first thing Eve does is pick up this stray cat. EVE put it down... But it is cold and why? Tried to explain to her we can't keep it and don't feed it because it won't go away if you do... We go in and the cat quickly sits on our porch and starts to cry.... So then Sebastian starts to cry.. "I love animals and don't want to see it out there." I love animals too Sebastian but we already have 2 cats and a dog. Sebastian continues to cry and tell me that he doesn't believe that I like animals. Here it goes..So this last for about 45 minutes. The whole time I am trying to explain that Heavenly father will take care of the cat. I don't hear it outside so I say see look. Only to open the door to the cat sitting there. Great.. So what do you do with this situation? Of course we get the food and some water we take it outside around by the garage to feed it. The poor thing was starving.. I think I may have just bought me a stray cat. I refuse to bring it in. But we maybe getting an outdoor one. YEAH ME!
After we fed it Sebastian was just fine... GO figure.
With all said and done Dinner went well I think it will just be the beginning of combining our family activities for the kids. I want them to know as they grow up and get married they don't have to worry about the divorce situation. As soon as I can figure my phone out I will post a picture on here of our great tree.
