Our family took the day off from normal life today. We all ditched our responsibilities and spent the day together, we really needed it. Especially today. Everyone slept in a little bit then we got up and had breakfast at Cracker Barrel. After that Leo and I spent three hours doing Christmas shopping. If I had done it w/the two boys in tow, it would have taken me three days. Both Fischer and Leo earned money to get each other and Rocky Christmas presents, so Leo picked out one for Fischer today and will get Rocky’s later. Fischer bought his presents the other day and even paid for them himself to the cashier, it was really cute. They can’t wait to wrap them.
Later on I spent time at home w/the kids while Denton did some Christmas shopping. It was a nice, calm day, exactly what we needed. I think it’s worth getting away from it all for one day just to be together. It’s my all-time favorite thing to do.
i love nice days like that too! and i love it that your kids are buying christmas presents for each other!!
Good for you! I want to do that someday…if I can still walk around.:) The kids were cute tonight. xoxoxo
i take days off all the time. thats what college is about: no school.
am i still considered an okay mom if i didn’t make my kids earn the $ to buy each other gifts & i kind of helped them choose the gifts? they are still struggling with the idea that the other one will be giving them one & they don’t need a toy every time we go to the store…especially when we’re supposed to be looking for things for the other kid! hmmmmm….
that is a great idea to just take the day off & go away! i’ll have to do that…maybe for church on sunday we’ll take the day off…just kidding!
oh…BTW…i’m not pregnant!!! i think today was the first time i’ve taken a pregnancy test & it was negative! wow! what a miracle.:) so when you decide to have another one…IF you decide to have another one, let me know so we can do some planning.:)
