Not Really A Week Off

We have a crazy week around these parts.  Michael is off of school and I took the week off of work and filled it with a dinosaur themed class*, doctors appointments, play groups, theater tickets, and various other activities.  And now I have no idea what I was thinking.  When I planned all of this I was like, must fill these 5 days so we are not bored.  And now I am thinking, we will never get all of this done and all Michael wants to do is play wii and I would like to go to the gym during my week off. 

We had lovely holidays, the kind that comes with minimal family trauma and happy children and lovely, unexpected gifts.  Our New Years Eve plans are up in the air right now, we may be having a dinner party with some couple friends, it may just be Doug and I with wine and wii.  (Man I love that wii.  Seriously.  How come people didn't tell me how much fun this thing was years ago?)  

Posting may be light this week as I shuttle Michael from this thing and that thing, and my nights are taken up wiiing.  But I promise my traditional maudlin New Years post later this week.  (I'm kidding, it won't be maudlin.  Well, maybe a little.  2009 kind of sucked.  A little.) 

**The lovely people at the Curiosity Zone invited Michael to a class fee of charge.  I'll let you know what he thinks.

Drama-free holidays are a big 'ol bonus around here!

Personally, I'm letting my kids stay in their pj's until they stand on their own and ignoring the phone and door until school starts again.

This is a wonderful idea of a holiday to me!

I usually do that. I worry that we'll be bored and then I overschedule us. Not this week though. We've got nothin' to do.

I'm glad you cleared that up about the dinosaur thing. I saw your tweet earlier about dinosaur camp and I was all, what tha?
