@djjd62,
Warm weather at Christmas stinks. BUT - the kids can go outside and play unfettered by coats...they like that - I like that they like it outside! Makes inside quiet - ahhhhhhh.
J is learning guitar. He and I sat down and had a lesson this morning - he got it for Christmas. S got an art kit - watercolors, pencils, pastels...he has been in hog heaven. G baby got a make your own light saber kit and has been changing it constantly from red, to blue to green to aqua...he has been thoroughly entertained...and the Wii. Well - let me just say - that is great big fun. My arms are sore from boxing my boys. Crazy - but BIG fun.
Baby Jesus rocks Alex.
dj - sorry you are losing your snow...I think that would be sad. I would love to have snow - but haven't much hope of it down here. But I have a little - and try to think positively - maybe one day. You just never know!
We are about to go to the bookstore together....that should be fun. My very aware kids always find something I am having to explain in a responsible way - it's exhausting.
