Christmas is Over (Almost)

The trees are down, the real one is now out at the curb and the fake one is in a box downstairs. The pine needles have been vacuumed. There are still a couple of decorations around the house, but for the most part it's all gone. It's almost as Christmas never happened. Except for the giant race track that's taking up 75% of the sitting room (or whatever the name of the room with the piano is). And the influx of new books. And the new toys. But aside from all that, you would never know it was Christmas a few short weeks ago. Actually, the giant inflatable Snowman in the front yard and the lights on the bushes might give it away. Not sure why I didn't get to those today, but my money is on laziness. Guess I'll be taking those down later this week.

Both kids went to bed later than we would have liked, so they're probably going to be little terrors tomorrow when they have to get ready to head back to school. This week will be the first week of Catherine staying for the full half-day. We'll see how that goes.
