Sunday Post - 12/17/23

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ The Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~this meme was inspired in part by ~ In My Mailbox~ It's a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.

Monday was a normal day for us. School in the morning and afternoon. Tuesday, we went to the library and picked up groceries. Then we came home to put groceries away and eat lunch. After lunch we went up to a local church that has a playground open to the public. The kids were the only ones there, but again they played with each other so well. We got home and did afternoon school. Wednesday was our only other normal day of the week with morning and afternoon school again. Thursday, Husband was off work for the rest of the week. We took the kids to see Santa. We always wander around Bass Pro Shop while we're there. Then we went to lunch. And finally we took the kids "sibling shopping." We usually go to Five Below and just let them pick out gifts to buy for each other. That was more stressful for me this year because Baby Boy is almost three so he was trying to grab everything while I was helping Little Girl shop. But we succeeded. The bigger kids are finally getting to a point where behavior is much better out in public, in restuarants and on trips. When we got home, Husband had to turn around and go out to get some gifts that we haven't been able to nail down yet. And I helped the kids wrap their presents to each other. Thursday was also our last school day for the Christmas break. Friday, Little Girl went to Baby Boy's school with him to be a teacher helper. She'd begged the 4 year old teacher she had when she was there to let her come help in her classroom one day, and we decided that the last day before Christmas break would be the best time. She was so excited. Baby Boy's class had their Christmas partry. I went shopping for stocking stuffers, mailed my Christmas cards, and then came home to get ready. We went straight to my parent's house after getting Little Girl and Baby Boy from school because we were celebrating Christmas with my side of the family this year. Our family is getting bigger and bigger. The first round of grandkids for my parents are getting married and having babies of their own so we have a much bigger crew than years passed. We had a really good visit with everyone. The older I get the more I appreciate these times we get to spend with one another. Saturday was my greatniece's birthday party. She turns two next week. Her party was at this giant park in Auburn. We had a good time celebrating her. How about you guys? Are you finished with your Christmas preparations? Kids out of school yet?
