Some Hall Decking

 

We did some hall decking this weekend. The hub was a big help. We got the tree up and got it partially decorated. I thought the granbaby would be more excited about the tree trimming than she turned out to be. She was much more interested in playing in the tubs the decorations came out of.
She wanted me to push her around the kitchen and "go real fast."
No wonder since her mother once pulled her to our house in the snow in her own custom made carriage sled aka a Rubbermaid tub lined with blankets. She's attached a belt to the handle to pull the tub. She was too young then to holler "mush" though it would have been more than funny if she could have.
She's grown up enough to order a couple of grandparents around doing her bidding instead of putting up decorations. When she left our house to attend her first ever sleep over, we were too tired from "mushing" to get a lot done.
Her granddaddy reckoned that she was too young for sleepovers and that she would not make the night. Text messages back and forth revealed that he was wrong. She not only made the night but made it to 1 a.m., as did several of her friends before falling asleep.
I am not sure the child has ever been up past midnight until now.
She's doing lots of big girl things these days. Dare I hope that by next year she will more more interested in hanging ornaments than riding around in a storage bin?
