Walked around a place called The Blue Pool today, lovely and serene. Not as blue as I thought it would be though!

We got our tree today! As expected, Penny is very interested in it. I hope it survives a curious kitten.

Weâre trying to be more minimalist around here so we spend less time picking up and caring for stuff. As such, Iâve been thinking about 86ing the Christmas tree, itâs so many trappings for something you use once a year.
When my daughter was a baby, she was so small that I was able to put our tree on an end table and it was tall enough she couldnât pull it downâŚ. My son as a toddler is in the 99th percentile for height. So I had been thinking about, you know, if he pulls the tree down and itâs covered in $1000 worth of meticulously collected Beauty of Birds ornaments, what the hell is the point of even owning them?
I split the difference. We got a $16 four foot tall tree thatâs set up in a child-fenced off porch grotto. I gave the 6.5 foot tree to a local preschool. Iâll post of picture of it for you in a little bit.

How did he get 99th percentile for height when youâre a wee 'un?
You husband may come to think youâre not the real mother.

I actually managed it twice! Both boys are very tallâŚ. But my daughter moved up to the 49th percentile this year, so she canât be counted out yet!
I have tall people distantly in my family. But my husband is the shortest man in his family at 6â2ââŚ. There are GIANTS about. His mom is 5â11â!
