Megan swam in her second swim meet. She did a great job, taking 10 seconds off her times in each of 3 events(50 meter freestyle, 100 meter free style & 50 meter backstroke). Here is a video of her. Please forgive the sound of the obnoxious mom cheering.

Getting Ready for Christmas
We got our Christmas tree this weekend and the kids decorated it today. As a result, several Green Family records were set:
1. I am posting about an event that actually happened TODAY. Usually, there is a lag of about 2 weeks to three months. This is close to being a Christmas miracle.
2. The kids decorated basically the whole tree themselves. I put up the lights (I know, that should be a Dad job, but not in this house) and helped with a few ornaments, but they really did most of it. This is the first time I have been so uninvolved with the decorating. It was kind of liberating. Sam was the one who was really into it. He had a longer attention span for it than the girls did!
3. This may be related to # 2 above. Not one single ornament was broken in the decorating of the tree. Usually, at least three are smashed. I will admit that I am typically responsible for at least one breaking. So maybe because I was so uninvolved, the lives of who knows how many ornaments were saved.
