Tuesday.....

Lloyd has the day off today :)  He's just taken Chris in to the transit so he can head off to school.  Laurence and Susannah have headed off to school on the bus.  I'm sitting in bed drinking coffee and Sam is snuggled next to me watching Treehouse TV.  Abigail just popped in to say hi and is now downstairs either playing with the dogs or having breakfast in front of the tv.   It's definitely a day off of schoolwork.

Our plans for the day are to go out for breakfast and then to go to the hobby store.   Lloyd has this thing about building a steam whistle, so we're going to go and see if he can get any parts there without having to order them online.  We have to renew our Costco card too and get some groceries and stuff (you know, interesting stuff like 'toilet tissue' hahaha....lol)......we might pop in to Kidz Quarterz for a little while too....

Last night we watched 'Merry Christmas Mr Bean' - another of our Christmas traditions!!!  :)   so silly that it's funny!  The children are always so sad that it's only half an hour long!  It's magical this year to see Sam enjoying these shows properly for the first time!!  He was laughing hysterically at the turkey scene!!

Tonight we're going to watch Disney's 'A Christmas Carol' which is on tv!!  On Thursday we're going to see the play at the Citadel.

I was thinking this morning that I will be so sad when JYC finishes!!!  Luckily it ends January 6th, and January 7th is Sams birthday.....but January 8th will be sooooooo sad!!!!  :(   it will all be over :(

JYC has changed my December soooooo much - it has made the whole of December sooooo festive and has made Christmas sooooo much MORE!!!  :)   It stretched Christmas into a whole month and it's wonderful!!!  It's like you think about it every day and do something EVERY DAY...and feel festive every day :)

Have a great day everyone!!!
