Ah, peace. In the midst of a crazy weekend at the end of a crazy week and the beginning of an even crazier one, we have peace. Katie Grace and Nicholas are upstairs playing train, Michael is reading, Daniel fell asleep on my lap while nursing, even Daddy is occupied checking his email on the church laptop.
I need to plan a menu and grocery list and we need to go to the store, and we're supposed to go to a Christmas Caroling party tonight, and we had Christmas pageant practice this morning, and church decorating, and packing up Christmas baskets and gifts and delivering them, and a sudden realization that I had no idea what the little ones would wear for Christmas, but just right now, this minute... peace.
We're finished with school "for the year," a phrase which delights the older children to no end and seems to frighten Nicholas a bit. We wrapped up our work yesterday, although we'll still probably do some fun stuff like make sugar cube pyramids next week. We seem to be settling into a pattern, so now I can tweak things and make them a little closer to my ideals.
Last night we met a bunch of people from church and walked "Candy Cane Lane," a beautiful yet ecologically disastrous light display. DH told the Christmas Story at the live Nativity, and we ended with cookies and cocoa at a church member's house. Lots of fun. One of the little girls found my sling and was carrying around teddy bears in it, LOL! Sadly, there are no pictures because our rechargable batteries don't actually seems to recharge.
So, party tonight. Church, Christmas Pageant, choir rehearsal and more caroling tomorrow night. Monday is Christmas Eve and then it's Christmas. If I don't get back online, Merry Christmas, everyone!
We've moved... come and join us!
