Words, for a change
Maybe it's time I posted an entry that is something else besides a bunch of pictures I've taken. I do like pretty pictures, though. A thousand words, and all that jazz.
So far, we are getting through the holidays with a medium level of stress. This is a good thing. In our house, you simply can't go a day through this month without some drama about gifts purchased for this family or that family, or Christmas trees that were decorated in a delayed fashion. I guess it's just a bunch of small details here and there...but the catch is that I am a "small details" person.
Case in point: His Honor's classroom holiday party. Once again, I was one of three or four assigned "mom helpers" for the party. I'll confess to agonizing over the holiday activity--should it be a sedate sit-at-the-table-and-decorate affair? Or should there be some moving about involved? If we decorate foam trees with stickers, should I separate the stickers in individual piles for each child? Or should it be a free-for-all to spur interaction?
In the end, everything turned out just fine and the kids had a blast. It was a party, after all.
Hey, how did that pesky picture sneak its way into my post? That's the beauty of pictures--sometimes they say the things you simply can't put into words.
