SIDE SALAD - Everything crunchy is good.

OVERTURE, HIT THE LIGHTS

Now presenting...

...the official 2004 Side Salad Christmas tree. Matched only by...
...the 2004 Casa del Salad Festival of Lights.
We have a new attraction this year:
Santasaurus Rex.
This was not a planned display. We were watching the neighbors' kids today for a little while. They were bored and were poking around my son's playroom. They found a dinosaur jigsaw puzzle under one of the beds.
The damn thing mystified me one morning about a year ago when Brian and I tried to put it together. This ought to occupy them for a while, I thought.
Fifteen minutes later, the damn thing was built. And without a yelling match between the four of them.
For an extra degree of difficulty, I told them that if they partially disassembled it and then put it together again on the front porch, we'd put lights on it and a Santa hat. I even encouraged them to make it look like it was chowing on our Christmas cactus. They loved that.
And so a new tradition has begun. Posted by Jeff at December 4, 2004 11:46 PM | TrackBack
