Today we had some friends over and we made Christmas chains. It was a pretty good activity in that it was pretty easy. The youngest ones put some stickers on, stapled the ends together, and were done. The older ones did a bit more...either more decorating or more cutting or more caring about how it looked...so it took them a bit longer but still not too long.
Afterwards we took a quick trip to the library and then had lunch. Joshua took a long nap, which means I did too. :) The boys took a bath. Then it was time to get the mail and trash container, and I wished it was summer again. Both boys wanted to come outside with me. So we put on boots and coats and hats and mittens, all for a two minute trip outside. :p
And then Ben was home!
The day obviously didn't end there, but getting to that milestone in the day is wonderful. Not only is he home, but it's time to eat! And we have a routine that keeps us more or less occupied until bedtime.
