Today is…Monday Dec 13, 2010
Alright. Today, I made our morning start a priority before we went to the gym.
So, we did actually:
Pray.
Look at a Gospel Picture:
and we even read a story:
(no, Giant is not sneering at the book. He is afflicted with the “loose glasses” disease, which causes the wearer of loose glasses to attempt to inch their spectacles up their nose with a scrunch of their nose and cheeks. I myself was afflicted with this disease often as a child, and was only able to partially overcome it. When I got contacts.)
The Gym was set up for a party, so we went for a walk and collected a couple of friends to come back to our house, where we:
ate snacks (that’s a Christmas tree apple sculpture)
(yes, really)
read “The Night Before Christmas” with heavy emphasis on the tree pictures,
and did not do a craft.
I had a craft fail.
Mostly due to trying to wing together a very messy craft in five minutes for five little boys (blowing bubbles tinted with lots of green paint and then placing a piece of tree shaped paper over it to get a nifty bubble like effect. Not happening).
Luckily, they had fun playing, and hardly noticed that we were not doing a craft like I’d told them we would.
And I didn’t get a chance to do the craft with Giant after lunch, because he was gone playing at a friends all afternoon. Wonderful!
So after Ettin woke up from his nap, he helped me make supper and snitched some beans:
(This boy loves beans!)
And Galoot hung out:
(just thought I’d throw and extra picture in here 😉 )
