Wednesday: house cleaning prep and Christmas tree

The kids and I finished prepping the house for carpet cleaning tomorrow.  It took a fair amount of time, but wasn't insane.  We emptied the LEGO room in less than an hour which was pretty amazing.  (Joshua was panting at the end because he set himself a goal to keep ahead of Isaac and I as we moved the drawers to the back room.  I told him he didn't need to work so hard, but I think it made it more fun for him too.)

Dad and I worked on a template for a branch level of a new Christmas tree.
