Now that my kids are both in school for part of the day, I have loads of time on my hands! Unfortunately, I have forgotten what being really busy is like. Which is actually wonderful, except for when I become busy again (christmas) and have to figure out how to make it work :)
Alex will be 8 on wednesday, and so he had a birthday party on saturday. He invited 9 friends, and only 3 could come because of vacations, ski-team, sickness, etc. They still had a blast though!
I teach piano now, and so I had a recital with my students and their families. We were able to pack 25 people into our small living room/dining room area, and the students all did really well. Dave recorded it, but I thought I'd just take pictures of my kids "acting" like they're playing so you wouldn't have to watch the video.
Dave and I realized that we have mice. We're totally disgusted, and so yesterday (after the birthday party) we tore the house apart looking for the little buggers. We didn't find much, except for droppings... but we have lots of poison out now. In my "tearing up the house" I pushed the sofa too far one direction and knocked OVER the christmas tree! Only a few ornaments broke, but one was from our trip to Mexico, the other from Naples, Italy. I cried and cried. Our family tradition is to get souvenir ornaments when we travel, so I mourn the loss of memories too. So sad!
We also went to the Golden Candlelight walk. You hold candles while walking down main street singing carols with about 4,000 (give or take) other people. It's a great way to bring in the christmas season.
Besides this I've been baking, cooking, eating, shopping, and eating some more! I love the holidays!
