Tomorrow my husband will be off for the rest of the year, so he will be able to experience that special holiday joy of being with his children. Hee hee hee. Yesterday evening the kids and I went out to get some fresh air. We listened to Christmas music. They really enjoyed the play doh  and puzzles. Maybe we’ll do some coloring too today. Al did not enjoy doing his homework, but oh well, with the benefits of teendom come whining responsibilities. Maybe we’ll make some cookies, too.
