Another Week

Another week gone by and so little to show for it, really. It was a typical week with the exception that I spread out all the Christmas stuff in the guest room and tried to figure out what I had and what I needed for the Parade of Homes, which is fast approaching.

As you can see by the photos, piano lessons got a late start on Thursday because the girls needed to rake leaves to jump in. It was a perfect time to be outside and they had a bit fun to boot.

Saturday, I was up at 0230 with a little boy who was running around the house upstairs, laughing and playing in the dark. I rocked him and put him back in the crib just in time for the pager to go off and I was out the door. Since I had to be in SB by 0800 for an all day conference, I came home and got stuff around and ready to go for morning. When I was warm enough to crawl back into bed, I shut the alarm off and hoped the fog would be too thick to drive in come morning. No such luck. I left shortly after 0700 and didn't get home until after supper, picking up some odds and ends before leaving SB.

Meanwhile, Daddy had the kids to himself all day. After naps, he bundled them up and strapped them in the stroller for an auction a couple blocks away. Surviving that, they then loaded into the Ford and headed to church for an afternoon party.

Eden told me later that it wasn't a birthday party that they'd gone to, but they still had cake. When I asked her what kind of party it was, she said it was "Dying Dolly" party. After picking myself off the floor from laughing, I told her it was an "Anniversary" party. "OH!" she said, "Anniversary party".

Woke up to snow on the ground this morning, but now it is mid afternoon and the snow has melted with the sunny day.

With only an hour of daylight left, I'd better get the kids out for a some fresh air. We all seem to sleep better if we wear ourselves out there for a bit.
