We had a nice Christmas break that ended just in time!  There were play dates with friends, ice skating, visits to the Hall of Science and Chuck E Cheese, Happy Feet 2 (which Huck said was more like a grownup movie), hours spent playing with new toys (some are still in their boxes ready to be rediscovered), several Shirley Temples, some restaurant dinners, a birthday party, a hike, a mani/pedi with fingernail polish from Santa, plenty of cranky moods due to overstimulation, overeating & undersleeping, the constant sound of Pappy T coughing his lungs out, and a beautiful New Year’s Eve sunset to behold.  Though he would rather stay home in his pajamas for the rest of his life, Huck didn’t complain about returning to school on Tuesday, and he happily came home today with the just completed script of The Pizza Thief that his class wrote together.  He plays the supporting antagonist character Lightening Lion and has exactly sixteen lines which he is to begin memorizing immediately.  Where’s Christmas break when you need it?’

(Just kidding, Christmas break!  See you next year!)
