The week between Christmas and New Year's (the "tween" week) is always the most relaxing. After the bustle of Christmas...decorating, baking cookies, and present buying, it's nice to just sit and relax. I have so enjoyed my family. Today we all jumped in the car and went to a used book and music store called McKay's. It's a great place to wander around in. It's very organized by subject and the aisles are clearly labeled. It's like a big book store only the prices are ridiculously low. I got about 8 decorating books and not a one was over two dollars. There was also a free bin outside and I rooted around and found four novels to read. Scott who is really into music loved the large selection of vinyl records and Chris found some movie dvd's. I also discovered a really neat store that I will have to remember. It was rather small...but so me. I found a wire basket I just loved.
I'm having so much fun playing with the young ones. Sara loved her shopping cart and food items that nana gave her and we've been playing "shopping". Sean is busy with his Uncle Chris so doesn't have a lot of time for nana.
It's only a quarter after 8 and I fell like it's midnight. Young kids can do that to you. Enjoy your tween week.
Ohhhh, it sounds like a wonderful time going on down there:) I am very happy for ya'll.
