Busy day. Well, moderately busy, but it included socializing at a Christmas party/open house this afternoon, so I am drained.
After breakfast and skyping with TLG’s grandparents, the three of us walked across the street to the front lawn of the high school to pick out our Christmas tree. And then we carried it back across four lanes of traffic (there’s a light; phew) to the house. TLG declared: “This is fun!” Unfortunately, this is only an annual ritual, so he’ll have to wait a whole year to do it again.
Then TLG had tae kwon do class and I stayed home to begin wrapping some presents. We got some lunch. Puttered a bit with the tree, but not too much, and then off to the party. At which TLG discovered the joys of the bowls of chex mix and goldfish crackers. (Poor deprived child – we almost never have those things in our house.) Then home, to dinner and bundling the boy off to bed.
Tomorrow should be less busy, although a new children’s museum opened near us that we might want to go check out after TLG’s swim lesson. And of course we’ll have to put ornaments on the tree.
But for now, I’m beat; time for a podcast and some zzzzzzzs.
