The weather here is awful – grey and cold and rainy – which is making life more challenging. Little N isn't going outside much, though I did take him to Big Muscle Playtime and Kidville today, which he loved. He is so good at doing the various activities now, and knows when to say "shhh" and when to lift up the parachute and when to put the blocks away. Now we have to work on sharing and not going up to other kids and either staring them in the face or pushing them. Sigh.

We trekked to and from THEARC tonight for the girls' tech rehearsal, which was also stressful in the pouring rain. But we are home safe and sound.

Tomorrow is the last day of school before break. A has a math test. (Boo!). Her teacher said she likes banana bread with chocolate chips so we made her one tonight.

First night of Hanukah is tomorrow! Almost all of the presents are under the piano and there are A LOT of them. I am going to wrap more tonight and will post photos tomorrow.

Meanwhile, here are pics from Grampy's dinner!

Cake, as decorated by the girls:
