Today was going to be a great day. I have the whole week off work for Christmas, took the little one to day care, and took the big one to the mall. I thought it would be fun for him to pick out his own Christmas present for his little sister. Plus, he hardly ever gets to go and do without the little one. As we all know, the little ones pretty much dictate what goes on in a house. He is a SUPER sport about it all, so we went on a journey. I successfully suggested that we go to Build a Bear and, well, build her a bear... She LOVES the kitty that he built for her before she was born, so off we went. He picked out a super soft Penguin for her and named her Penny. We got a couple of other gifts, ate some lunch, and headed home. My sister-in-law and her family arrived at my in-law's last night, so we stopped by there to see them on the way home. The plan was to get home and get a couple of cards made before we went to pick up the little bit.
Shortly after getting home, the boy began to scream in agony about his ear hurting. This persisted until almost 630pm, when he fell asleep in my lap. Mind you, he is almost 7 and over 4 feet tall. It was quite a sight. Bless his heart, he is still sleeping, no dinner, no nothing. I sure do hope he feels better in the morning.
I did get a couple of cards done, and here they are...
