December 23--our day

10:00 am: Emily and Trent wake up
 
10:15 am:  boys start chores.  bathrooms, washing sheets and practicing cello
 



10:30 am:  physical therapy for Emily


11:30 am:  divinity attempt #4.  FAIL.  give up on making divinity this Christmas.  It's not going to happen

12:00 pm:  make your own sandwiches for lunch.  turkey for trent, egg salad for Emily and peanut butter for Jacob.  After I took this picture, Jacob threw a fit and said he could not eat his sandwich because it had touched Trent's sandwich.


1 pm:   Learning RX for Jacob--a brain training/tutoring 6 month program we've been doing.  It's so fun, he really likes it!

3 pm:  the boys play hide and seek outside in the pouring rain with the neighbor kids for 1 hour!
4 pm:  hot shower for Trent, bubble bath for Jacob.  It's already dark outside and feels like it should be time for bed!

4:30 pm:   Emily's best friend Cameron comes over for some Christmas baking--peanut butter Hershey kiss cookies, peanut butter bon bons and caramels.  I take the boys to the library to give the girls some time without the little brothers, and Ryan gets home from work


7 pm:  delivering the last of the Christmas treats to Trent's scout leaders (notice no divinity on the plates!)


8 pm:  play ticket to ride with the boys.  Trenton wins and Jacob cries. he hate to loose!

9 pm:  Cameron goes home, and the whole family watches an episode of Merlin.

10 pm:  put kids to bed, Jacob is working on a special Christmas surprise in his room that we are not allowed to see so we say goodnight in the hallway

Ryan and I stay up and watch an episode of Friends and go to bed at 11 pm!
