Stew and a Tree Trim

We have been getting some flack for our fake Christmas tree this year and after we assembled we know why. The tree itself isn't that bad, it narrow in design and kind of has that "Charlie Brown" Christmas tree feeling. We limited the number of ornaments since many of the ones we had were made of glass. The boys liked the lights for the tree and playing with the ornaments. Rowan nor Kieran liked the feel of the fake tree, which might be a good thing. I'm hoping they stay away from it. Patrick had each boy help him place an ornament each. Kieran wasn't too sure of what was going on, but Rowan wanted to tear the ornaments off of the tree.


After the tree trimming the boys enjoyed homemade stew for the first time. I actually got smart and took off their top part of their pj's before eating. Afterward I realized I should have taken off the whole pj, since much of the food pooled inside of their pajamas.

It was straight to the bath after dinner. We have started bathing both boys at the same time in the tub. While this is the second time we tried it, it seems to be working and goes much faster than the single baths we were giving them in the sink. Our only problem as of now is the number of bath toys we have. We only have one rubber ducky, of course it is the favorite toy. The boys fight over it, taking any chance they can get to rip it out of the others hand. When it is floating in the tub, there is always a mad dash to get it.
