Arts and crafts are big around here recently. We don’t bother eating at the table very often because it’s usually covered with crayons and paper until minutes before supper. 
We’re also enjoying our first Christmas tree. Sydney reminded me that we have two young cats–one who loves to climb–but now that we are finally out of matchbox-sized living quarters and baby years, I couldn’t wait any longer. The company of the Christmas tree and two cats taking turns in my lap after the kids are in bed are making end-of-term grading a bit more doable. I hope to be done with all exams and grading by the time Sydney comes home (for good!) on Thursday night.
