Update on Emily's eye appointment: She has excellent vision! So who knows why she said she couldn't see the words in the book. I've never noticed her having trouble coloring in the lines or other activities like that so I was skeptical in the first place. If I had to guess, she probably did it to distract her teacher so she could get away with not trying to read that day. She's been pulling little stunts like that recently.
Thanks for the "keeping the kids busy" ideas. I'm a fan of Play-Doh but we've run out and Santa is bringing more. So that'll be one of next week's activities. Greg wants to take the Big 3 to see Polar Express, I should ask which day he plans to go. The toy clean-up I think I'll do one evening after the kids are in bed. Then I can be really thorough and throw/put away a bunch of stuff without the kids screaming, "no, no, I really want to play with that now!" hehe The placemats are an awesome idea, I know I have all the items for them too so I'll add that to craft day tomorrow. Zach requested making a gingerbread house on Thursday and they had a kit at Michaels. For $40. Ouch. I have a 40% coupon (left it at home, oops) so I'll go back or try to find a cheaper kit tomorrow.
Whew! Is it bedtime yet?
