Stocking Making
OK, so I took an easy route this year, though a slightly harder route than last year. D'Arcy has a Christmas stocking at his Dad's place - they call it a Santa Sack - so last year we used a pillowcase at my place. This year I bought a plain white pillowcase from Target and today D'Arcy drew on it. Here we have the proud artist and the finished product. So, in the centre we have Wil E Coyote as Mr Hyde trying to kill Bugs Bunny (D's current fave from Warner Bros). Around the outside we have some Christmas trees, "jingle bells" and Holly.
Today, also was the last day of kindergarten. We said goodbye to the fabulous Miss J, who is leaving ther school on her 4 year rotation. We don't know where she's going, but we were all joking this afternoon that when we found out we'd all be moving to get into the feeder area for her new school. There was a reasonably big party in the classroom this afternoon with all the kids and all the parents. I tried to get phone numbers for a reasonable number of them that I didn't already have so we can play in the holidays, but although the hols are 6 weeks, it's actually not that long. It will be the beginning of Feb before we know it. D goes to his Dad for the first half of each week and then when he's with me on Wednesday Thursday and Friday we can play on Wed and Thurs, but I have to work on Fridays. So that's only 6 weeks worth of 2 days - 12 days in all (plus weekends) not very long at all.
My big challenge over the holidays will be to find enough time to do some basic housework - I've been using some of Wednesday when D is at school for that, and that is not going to be possible for the duration!
