Christmas
Well, it's been a bit of a mixed day. Both sons are home, which is great, and we've been having a wonderful time, and really looking forward to Christmas morning, a big deal at our house. We got as far as opening the stockings and the popovers were about to be started when Doug confessed to feeling Really Bad. Long story short we spent Christmas morning at the ER, Doug in agony with a kidney stone. Brought him home, drugged but still miserable, around noon and put him to bed. He got up later long enough to open gifts, and is back in bed now in a drugged fugue.
But the boys and I have been playing cards, and messing around with the truly awesome and addictive set of rare earth magnets Matt and Doug both got for Christmas. http://www.amazon.com/Neocube-216pc-Magnet-Puzzle-Children/dp/B001EM1SEA/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1293327363&sr=1-1
Santa also put life size Jelly Belly gummy rats in certain stockings, which wasn't taken as funny as Santa (me) thought they would be. Oh well. I thought they were funny!
The next major event is the Dr. Who Christmas special at 9. In the meantime the boys and I voted to bag the big Christmas dinner and, as soon as the pumpkin and venison mincemeat (my Mom's) pies are baked, venture out in search of Chinese food. People will think we're Jewish!
Happy Holidays to all!
