Today Hurricane Macyn demolished the alphabetical organization of the DVD tower. She literally pulled down the gate and went to town. After some re-alphabetizing the cleanup of the destruction is finished. Its only a matter of time when she strikes again!

Is your house on fire, Clark?
"No, Aunt Bethany, those are the Christmas lights." - Christmas Vacation (If you have no idea what I am talking about, WATCH IT! BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIE EVER!)
Anyways, we put some Christmas lights up on the house this past week and we decided to put up a few more. Since it was such a nice day on Saturday (try 45 degrees), we all went out and got some fresh air. Macyn was a big help with the candy canes:
We were going to put them into the tree since the ground was frozen, but we nixed that idea since it would be too much work. Maybe next year. We also added some lights to the garage, but when the box says 11 feet of lighted length and the TOTAL STRAND is only 9 feet, well, you come up short. After seeing that the shortness of our lights looked retarded on the garage, we decided to put them in our bush instead. Since we majorly failed on lights, here are some other non-light highlights of our day:

John Phillip Souza - What Does He Sing Again?
Title of my post = one of my favorite quotes of all times...thanks to the lady who came and visited on Black Friday! My coworker and I got together with my former coworker who now lives in Florida. It was great to see each other again and it was certainly hard to believe it has been a year already! We pretty much just chilled at the mall while Macyn acted like a terrible 2 year old. And then came back to my house where we hung out and watched my coworker's toddler, Ryan, bust some moves appropriate for high school dances. All in all it was a great day and fun to just kick back and relax without a work atmosphere!
Black Friday
I'm not a big Black Friday shopper since I hate crowds and waiting in line, but I do like to look at the ads on Thanksgiving Day. So we bought a paper and skimmed through, and I found that Kmart was having a sale on their Cozy Coupes for $15 cheaper than usual. I was planning on getting this for Macyn anyways, so I figured I would just go to WalMart in town and have them price match instead of driving all the way to Sioux City or Sioux Falls. I went to WalMart around 8:00 and could not find a Cozy Coupe...at all. I asked someone and they were completely sold out and may not get another shipment in before Christmas.
I quick jumped online to see if it was available at another WalMart 20 minutes away and they had 2 left! So we made the quick trip and got the Coupe at the discounted price. We came home and I have a feeling Macyn is going to LOVE her Christmas present - see for yourself:

Hurricane Macyn
Hurricane Macyn first hit the kitchen:
Drawers open, items thrown out 1 by 1. I decided to begin to clean up the devastation when Hurricane Macyn struck again:
Toys everywhere! Amazing how destructive 10 minutes can be! Since the devastation was so great, I am too tired to pick it up tonight....this will be a 2 day clean up.

We decided to put up our tree tonight - I LOVE Christmas as the warm fuzzy feelings it gives you! Our tree is quite similar to last year's gold & red (which I found out reminds the DH of Iowa State, so we needed a new color scheme). We found some cheapo ornaments at Walmart that consisted of brown, deep red, and green. We used those along with a few keepsake Hallmark ornaments. I really like how it turned out, and it was nice for something different than the last 2 years.
