Good Bye To Another Holiday Break

I'm not ready for Christmas Break to be over with. I not ready for waking up early, packing lunches, and homework. It was so nice to have a break from all that for a few weeks. Today we slept in for the last time, since school starts back up tomorrow. We took the kids to IHOP for breakfast, grocery shopping at WalMart and then to a movie with Grandma and Grandpa Wilde. We were supposed to see "A Tale of Despereaux" but opted for "Marley and Me" for Olivia and John's sake. That was a big mistake! "Marley and Me" was a really cute movie but really sad. I don't recommend taking small children to see it. We all cried through the last hour of it or so, and spent the rest of the afternoon trying to explain to the kids why animals have to die. Yeah I know, right? We thought we were going to watch a comedy that the kids would also enjoy but ended up having to dry up tears and give a lesson in life and death. Not the afternoon I had in mind. So Monday is already here and it's time to say "Good Bye" to another holiday break. At least the kids have a lot to talk about with their classmates. Damon loss another tooth and Liv can't stop talking about her puppy! And YES , the Tooth Fairy did make it this time.
