The Tinker Toy Tree....
Isaac and Jacob, in their spare time today, constructed tinker-toy ornaments for our tree. Isaac's such a little builder. It was all his idea. It kept them busy for quite a while. I kind of like them, thinking of selling his idea to Halmark. As you can see, the tree was already kind of sad, no ornaments on the bottom 1/3 because of Luke, anything good it did have going for it the boys have rearranged. I give up. Luke is completely facinated with the tree, and says, "eee, eee" while pointing at it all day. There are a few non-breakable ornaments down lower which he likes to take off and bring to me, then I tell him to go put it back on the tree, and he does. He seems to be understanding A LOT of what we're saying these days, it so fun. He even took a towel back to the bathroom yesterday and hung it over the side of the tub after I asked him too, it was a proud moment for me. (Yes, I know, my son is BRILLIANT!)

Yes, if you look closely, you can see the painters tape on the window behind the tree!!! One day it will all come off. Hopefully while I live here to see it.
