Skipping School for the Kiddies

Both girls are up, neither feeling up to snuff, with coughs, so they are staying home, the good life.  Both are sitting on the couch now, bugging Evie to do this or that, as Jill and I sit here surfing the internet on our computers.  It looks like a partly cloudy day, filled with little girls, cookie making, getting ready for the Bottinys and no doubt the trip to the store for something you forget to get yesterday.  Halle is way to peppy this morning, Hayden a bit more subdued.

It's late afternoon and Hayden's still on the couch, under a blanket, feeling blah though she still wants to go out tonight and look at lights, with hot chocolate and popcorn.  Drew came home early again, and Jill is still taking a nap, after our rough afternoon of sushi and shopping.  Life can be tough this time of the year.  It's actually been a fairly nice day, with the sun coming out most of the afternoon and it's not as cold.  However, it looks like an Easterner may be heading our way for Xmas and the weekend, making travel difficult for those in the air and on the roads.  Let's hope it misses the Washington to New York corridor so we are able to head north on Monday, the 27th.

Chicken barbecue for dinner, with coleslaw, then off to look at lights with the kids, with hot chocolate and Coco.  Now it's time to settle them down and get them to bed as both are tired and still not feeling great.  Good luck.
