Goodbye Magical Christmas Break...

As we swept away the brittle pine needles and thanked God that our beyond dead tree had not caught on fire, we said a sad farewell to two weeks of lazy mornings, staying in pajamas almost all day, unwrapping a stream of surprises, endless playing, morning art projects, happy baking, visits from grandmas and grandpas and cousins, and lots of time for cuddling in front of cozy fires with daddy who didn't have to go to work.

I think the only thing getting us through the return to the reality of school and work and routine tomorrow morning is knowing that the magic of Christmas is only outdone by the wonder and splendor that is the awards show season in the entertainment industry.  

Goodbye Santa....

....Hello Oscar!!

(and if you detect a hint of sarcasm, then you're headed in the right direction.)

  4. Thats funny. There are quite a few awards shows coming up, I guess they could at least keep you entertained until spring and then you'll have to come up with something else... ;)

  9. I seriously thought I would be pushing Oldest out the door by the time today came around.

    What I discovered this first Christmas break from kindergarten - I miss my little man so much.

    What I really miss - that preschool flexibility of playing hookey when it's rainy and cold, like today.

    Growing up totally stinks.
