Yes... I did it! Major achievement of the day - I got the advent calendar and candles out of the attic BEFORE the start of Advent.
Hmmmm...... definite evidence of decoration-nibbling having taken place, though. Wonder whether to send the cats up to investigate. They'd love that! And I'll just have to arrange the nativity scene so that a shepherd stands in front of the toothmarks in the manger.
The best laid plans of mice (hmmm... mice again!) and men - I was supposed to be out all day today, but childcare confusions and clashes meant I was stuck with the Smudgelets. Ironic, really, seeing as it was a course on parenting I was going to. I bit the bullet and taught Tiddles to play "We wish you a merry Christmas" on the organ. Anything's better than hearing it one more time on the recorder. He's still out of the recorder group until after Christmas, though !
After a bit of a hectic and tantrum-filled week for the Smudgelets, I finally allowed them to open a present today, seeing as they were being soooo sweet this morning. They now have jingling Father Christmas hats! These hats have been worn all morning and most of the afternoon, with the two boys bouncing and skipping everywhere to make them jingle at every move. When I see the person who gave them to them, there may be trouble. Bah, Humbug!
Thought for the day: Gosh, is that the time already? I'm supposed to be picking them up from the Advent Workshop in five minutes!
Hmmm.... dead mouse on the doorstep.
