They're kind of like kids, I guess. Who knew?! N had his first (of four) holiday program performances today. His first audience were the younger grades, Pre-K through 1st grades, and my mom, who won't be able to attend with the parents tomorrow night. She gave a great report, B said it was really funny, and N said they knocked a microphone down. You can't please everyone, I guess, but I'm looking forward to seeing the whole thing tomorrow night.
See, I've had the songs stuck in my head for at least 3 weeks, so hearing the funny dialogue might help me get past that. Either that, or I'll end up repeating that as well. I know which outcome I'm hoping for.
We completed our first puzzle, and by "We" I actually mean "me." Not that it should come as a surprise to anyone, but they did help. N found homes for 5 pieces, and B hid the last three and still couldn't figure out where they went. This coming from the kid who says his brain is smart for puzzles.
My cousin came over tonight and we shared some of our holiday albums. I loaded my iPod in preparation for my trip to Houston on Friday morning. I'm so excited to listen to the new albums I inadvertently purchased on Amazon instead of only downloading certain songs at N's request for a project. Apparently, I don't know how to purchase just one song from an album, but hey! It's Christmas...who doesn't want 6 different renditions of "O Holy Night" anyway?
Which got me thinking... What's your favorite holiday song, and why? I'm not sure I can pick a favorite. There are so many that I adore, and I know the words to all of them. Seriously. It's a blessing and a curse.
Just so you know, it's officially Christmas time. Why? We've watched "Home Alone" and the boys were so mad when I made them go to bed before "Polar Express" was over. Yep. I'm the meanest.
But, I bet they'll thank me when I wake them up at dark o'clock tomorrow morning for school...
Score one for the meanest mom on the planet!
