Merry Christmas 2008

Merry Christmas to you all,
Today is the Day, the massive Wrapping Paper Sacrifice. My Living Room is full of colourful paper and gifts and boxes and the kids are all quietly zoned out of the real world and into the world of Nintendo DS games. They are super Happy. I'm happy too. I sit here with my warm Coffee, and my cozy Periwinkle Fleece http://www2.marks.com/productImages/product_2682-lrg.jpg hat, and scarf, I had to forgo the gloves while typing way.
TJ got a Chess board, he and daddy will be lost for hours in the evening in the challenge of brain powers and strategy, to see which will win and who will try to win the next night. He had a $store version of the game before but now this is classy looking wooden pieces.
AJ is Testing his Brain with Brain Age for the DS, he's doing well and learning his Multiplication tables quickly. YAY! for learning and playing.
MJ is putting together his Mega Blocks Mickey Mouse club house, what a fanastic idea Santa had! he's got pluto chasing Mickey now and they are off on an adventure... wait Mickey just asked for Toodles... hmmm wonder what kinds of tools Toodles will come up with? Imagination Rocks!
Hubbie is having a nap, he's all tired out from trying to fly his plane, launched from it's SUV across the Kitchen without falling into the Turky roaster. (did you see my eyes roll?) When did Santa decided he was a boy too? I do hope he shares his toys like the boys share theirs with him...?
Mass last night was nice, very nice, the boys enjoyed it and got a lot out of it, they watched the pageant, and they listened to the gospel and rang their bells with gusto, for every Gloria. That was so much fun, it's fun to hear and see people you don't get to see every Sunday.
In other News our roof well that didn't survive the last Winter storm, we had high winds of 120km per hour, so yesterday Hubbie spent his time putting our Alaska-ish, we'll fix it in the spring, Tarps up. We hve 3 tarps and there was no sign of reindeer having fallen off the roof after slipping down the blue roof on the tarp of the new CRUST of ice layered on top. This moring the Sun is shining so we are hoping that it wont melt too much up there to the point of coming through. The roofing companies will be oh so happy to see us coming in March/April/ May, hmmmm I wonder how long it will be winter this year... BRRRR!
Happy Holidays to all those still reading here and have a very Merry Christmas with Happy New Year, 2009 here we come! the last of the year of the first decade of the 2000s! :) oh I smell turkey...
