Gearing up!

Christmas is really just around the corner... Winter break is ONLY 3 weeks away! I have loved having my kids home from school, other than when they ask me, "What are we doing today". Why are they not content to "just" be home, I am. We have so many things to do around the house, toys to play with, a play set and trampoline (early Christmas present, Willy finally said yes), a piano, computers, television, books to read, bikes, scooters, games, music, a dog, I mean really we are not lacking for entertainment, but still the question, "What are we doing today?" grrr... I don't know! how about laundry, dusting, cleaning, any other questions? they usually back off at laundry. One of the things I LOVE about break is NO extra activities, that means we can just be home.

We have the tree up, the stockings hung and I think, I am done Christmas shopping, early for me! Now the challenge over the next three weeks is to not go buy more! Willy has said one gift, impossible I say, but I have cut back from our usual horde of crap! He will see, i say that because he reads this blog! I hope as you all go out among the throngs of shoppers that you can find peace standing in line, faith that you'll find that perfect gift, and charity for other shoppers, come on let them have the last one!
