The Start of a New Week
Mon Dec 02 2002

There is just something about a Monday after a long weekend, that parents celebrate and children bemoan. I'm not sure about other kids, but mine tend to make a bid for staying home with claims of sickness. To me, no fever and bouncing off the walls indicates anything but sickness!

20 days until #1 comes home!!! It will be so nice to have him home. Of course that means I'm going to have to find another place to keep all the Christmas presents as they are now residing in his room! While I'm sure he would volunteer to keep them there and watch over them, I think it would just be easier to move them.

Friday this week, Hubby and I will be putting on the kids Christmas party for his work. His whole work voted to have an adults only Christmas party. Hubby believes that these type of events should include the whole family. He therefore choose to boycott the adult party and put on a party for the kids. So... this week I get to decorate the break room at his work, and plan various activities for the kids. It should be interesting as the kids will range from 2 months to 13 years. Don't get me started on why someone would bring and leave a 2 month old at a childrens Christmas party. His co-workers have chosen to look on this as free childcare for that time. Ah, well, #2 excitedly offered to help with the younger children, so he should have fun. #3 is looking forward to the Cookie Decorating table I'm planning on having. I figure sugar cookies and lots of different colored frostings and candies should go over well!

    Just make sure the food coloring dose not come in contact with the fancy christmas outfits. I can just see parents having a heart attack if "little angel" was a stained dress before Christmas pictures.
