5 people did the xmas thing at our house - the three of us, the two moms, and Skippy. Of course the boy got the most stuff, with a total of a Wii game (which his dad is playing at the moment), a bunch of Hot Wheels track, clothes, 4 flashlights, lots of real tools, and a bunch of these Bakugan things.

Hurrah Harry Potter, and yay for seeing movies with friends again. It's been a LONG time since I've gone to ( Read more... )

We had great Small Town Syndrome - saw lots of people we knew from here and there, lots of A's co-workers that he teased mercilessly about them working and him not, a truly awful rendition of God Bless America, and some terrific fireworks. They were a bit startling at first, as ( Read more... )

He shared a seat on the bus with me yesterday and we had a pleasant chat about vacations and work and knitting (I was the one knitting, of course).
