Cutting the Tree

We have a tree up by the house that is very small and has not been doing very well in the last few years. We have tried to save it, but it was finally time to admit it was dead and cut it down. So Thursday, Jim decided we would go ahead and take it down. Caitlin was so upset. She LOVES trees and gets upset anytime we take one down. She had her arms wrapped around the tree telling Jim "Its my favorite tree daddy, don't cut it!" She did not understand that the tree was already dead. We managed to get her to step aside so Jim could take it down. Then she and Christopher jumped right n to help clean up the branches. Next they moved onto playing with bubbles. Jim told they to try to catch bubbles in their mouths...that was funny to watch. I love the nice weather! It makes the days fly by so much faster!
