Knock and run and christmas lights

I have always really wanted Christmas lights on my house during the holidays. Nate was never into the idea of climbing on the roof of our house  to put up lights. Jason liked the idea but is very stingy with money and kept saying we couldnt afford it year after year.

Well...last night as I was washing and bathing three little darling children and reading them bedtime stories...HA! I wish!! More like yesterday as I was wrestling two kids into the bath tub while the baby screamed and then chasing them around the house as they sprinted around naked trying to get clothes on their slippery wet bodies...Jason was on the roof hanging Christmas lights. I didnt even hear him stomping around on the roof because the kids were that loud.

So...when he was done, he rang the doorbell and then ran and hid trying to coax us outside. The first time I opened the door and no one was there I was just annoyed and went back inside. Then it happened a second time. This time I got a little freaked out and being the paranoid mommy that I am I started thinking some creep was trying to coax me out of my house and break in or kidnap my kids.  I know I know...Im nuts

Well...it turned out that freak was Jason trying to get us outside to see his big surprise. I loved it!! and the kids loved it! We all ran outside and admired his handwork. I love Christmas and now my house is in the holiday spirit too...finally :)

It will look so much prettier when it snows :)

Notice the pumpkin...I will be taking that to the trash this morning
