Pajamas, towels, and a birthday breakfast…

"I went to a restaurant that serves 'breakfast at any time'. So I ordered French Toast during the Renaissance."
-Steven Wright

The kids got new towels.  They like them.  And… umm.. yeah, that’s about it.

This year’s Christmas pajamas arrived early but that didn’t stop the kids from getting dressed up in preparation for the holiday season.  Based on their reactions I think Mommy chose well.  I can’t believe that Christmas is already here again, time goes by way too fast.

For completing her sight words without making a single mistake, Mommy agreed to take Ashlyn to get some ice cream.  James happily tagged along, although Ashlyn got way too much ice cream while Mom was distracted helping James.  From what I understand, their bowls were one part ice cream, two parts toppings.

With all that sugar we needed a way to work off some energy after we got home.  Fortunately for us the kids don’t seem to care about the cold.  Out they went on their scooters, and we weren’t out but for a few minutes when some of the neighborhood kids came out to join in.  Next thing we know there were kids riding everywhere.

PePa’s birthday came while he was out at the lake, so we saved a birthday breakfast for him when he got back.  We braved the cold and risked taking all three kids to an actual restaurant, but everything went fine.  The food was good and the only damage was to a few unfortunate Splenda packets, which didn’t complain so I guess they didn’t mind.  Happy birthday PePa!
