Another week whisked by, it's amazing to me sometimes how quickly a series of days can pass. One more whoosh and it will be another year!
This week went well, on Monday, I went in and had lunch with Matt, then went to have the van looked at by someone who can fix the actuator motor in the AC, which I will need before long! After that, I went to walk the labyrinth, which I really enjoyed. It's the first time I went alone. I need to do more stuff like that by myself....
After work, we met back up and walked the Greenway as part of a fitness event for our insurance. It IS super annoying to have to have a points system in place, but it's all things we SHOULD be doing anyway. Keeping a closer eye on nutrition and exercise, being aware of our cholesterol and blood sugar levels...
On Tuesday, everyone came over for lunch and Dirty Santa. I was worried it was going to just be semi-polite Santa, but there was some action before the end. Poor Cody, before his number, everyone picked a present and there were only a couple of swipes. He was dying to go and I was just ahead of him. I stole a present, that person stole one, who stole one and the last person picked, so he had to wait through 4 moves! Zachary got a couple bags of candy, which he tucked out of sight behind his back, eyes twinkling with visions of sugar rushes, no doubt. Then a Nerf gun emerged and he SLAMMED that candy in front of himself and started advertising heavily. There were some scratch-off lottery tickets that enthralled the younger boys. The older boys just wanted some meat sticks!

It was a great visit, lots of chatting and the kids played and played and played. I did not even think about doing a group pic! Oops!

Back home on Thursday, we watched the sky get brighter and brighter instead of the actual sunrise. Then, we experienced a Solstice Miracle in the form of Crabby Kat snuggling with Muta! Well, snuggle may be too much...more like shared butt warmth. : )
Today, Matt is home early, with pizza! He is off until the 3rd!
