Today was the boys’ first day of vacation. Megan has a few more days of preschool. All three decided to start the week with fevers, coughs, some napping, and a whole lot of neediness. On the upside, my aunt’s pecan tassies arrived just in time! : )
I’m off to ponder going to bed or cleaning the kitchen…
For one day I was so ahead…I had all of our long distance packages at the post office by December 2. That is a record! And then, it fell apart. I have never been this far behind. Something with the timing of Thanksgiving (and a castle) threw me way off. Maybe it’s the rain. I’m a drought kind of person. The kids keep looking in the advent calendar hoping I have finally put something in one of the boxes…or perhaps there is one little candy left over from last year. Erik looked a little hopeful, but it was just lint. Ryan has been asking to help put up the houses. I was hoping to get away with just the carolers, but it seems I am the only one who thinks they are fabulous. While Megan napped, Ryan and I made headway this afternoon on the village. We decided the home improvement center wasn’t quite Christmas-y enough for our tree this year so we went to Whole Foods instead (picked up lunch too!) It took over a week, but we started putting up the decorations yesterday. So we are getting close to being on track again. The boys are off from school. They are ready to do some art and play lots of games.
It’s starting to look a lot like Christmas!
The fourth grade studies the Middle Ages. The big project is The CASTLE! I’m surprised we were able to celebrate Thanksgiving this year!
Loves to be up front!
It took about two weeks longer than you think it took! : )
I’m pretty sure my bathroom could have been finished in this construction time, but I would never mention that…
well, I might.
