Christmas went by in a blur. We stayed in town, got some organizing done. New Year's Eve passed uneventfully, although we did get a fun, surprise visit from some SA friends on New Year's Day! The kids have spent their break overdosing on screen time. I feel like a bad mom, but I can't get around very well these days so field trips and other activities are limited. I also know that come Monday, the "no video games on school nights" rule comes back into play and screen time will drop dramatically. And 6:30 a.m. is going to seem VERY early.
Jacob already completed his two big LEGO sets. Sarah has finished her Christmas books. Ethan falls asleep in order to avoid reading. Lucas hasn't spoken Spanish in two weeks. It will be good for all of us to get back to the school routine.
Jacob did finish his Rifle merit badge for Scouts over the break. We were able to find a range with a Scoutmaster on staff that helped him cross off those last few requirements. Still need to finish Archery too, but there are several places around town to do that. He'll be starting on Pulp and Paper, Astronomy, and Environmental Science next weekend at Merit Badge College.
