We're down to the last days of Christmas vacation, and Britton is none too happy about it. I'm not either, as I go back tomorrow morning, and I can guarantee you that after sleeping in most days past 8:00 am, my alarm of 5:20 am is going to be downright painful tomorrow. Britton loves when we're all home, doing whatever we want all day, and the idea of us getting back into the swing of school and work just hurts her feelings!
To counteract everyone's blues about getting back to the grindstone, I invited our neighbor's first grader down for a playdate today, and the hubs is heating up the pool so they can all go swimming tomorrow. It's better when there are fun things to look forward to.
Biggest development of the month - Britton can ride her bike now! I mentioned in before, but this is really fantastic because now I can throw Barrett into the buggy and we and Britton can ride around the neighborhood together. All of the roads are flat, so it's a nice easy activity that gets us outside and exploring.

One way to deal with the kids at home for two weeks is to let them have the family room. The hubs and I go against every instinct to pick up, and we just let the kids do what they want, so long as they get along and play together. This past weekend they wanted to make a fort, so we turned on some "Pioneer Woman" reruns and let them go to town. After an hour they lost interest and we attempted to go to the library (closed on New Year's Eve? Seriously?) after cleaning it all up, but what a glorious hour it was!
I loved what Britton said about forts so much that I wrote it down: "I like it when pillows are doors and blankets are houses." Me too, Britton!
