Christmas BREAK

We are officially on Christmas break and I’m so excited. I honestly can not believe Christmas is only in 4 short days. I can’t wait. Some things we will not be doing besides no school is NOT making school lunches, of course! But also we will not be doing homework, or karate, piano or basketball. Instead, we will be playing games, making crafts (Taylor already has picked something out of a book and has it bookmarked to make in the morning),making more treats, watching movies, having a pajama day and maybe sleeping in? … Umm I doubt it.

A funny story about NOT sleeping in… At the Gardner household the first number you learn is not 1 or even the number that tells how old you are. Oh no. It’s the number 7. Why? Kuz that is the magic number that has to be the first number on your clock before you can come out of your room in the morning. So last week Taylor tells me, “Mom, I got tired of sleeping at 6:10am so I just read 9 chapters in my book by my nightlight till my clock said 7.” He’s trained very well. BTW, yes he does have a reading lamp in his room now. Merry Christmas!
