Advent

It continues to be a week run at a frantic pace.  Tonight, I went out to Hogsbreath with Bear and Di and the kids for my birthday.  All the kids were completely trashed and at one point Alex dropped part of his hamburger because we think he fell asleep for a second.  A glass was broken as well but Hogsbreath must be used to that as kids are free on Tuesday night!

I finally was able to construct the Playmobil Advent calendar.  Levi has been bugging me to complete it, not because he can start it any earlier than Dec 1st but I think because it was there and it was another tangible connection to Christmas! 

Today was Levi's swimming carnival but I couldn't get any time off.  He swam the 25m several times and in both freestyle and backstroke.  He was very proud of himself and again reinforces my happiness that he is now a safe swimmer.  The next permutation left, is the one where he becomes a stronger swimmer than I am and I think that can't be too far off anymore. 

Levi and I are really hanging out for holidays.  We have three weeks and I so can't wait to just hang out with Levi and do what we want.  He is sleeping in every morning and I have had to wake him for school the last two days!  I hope when we are off, he continues to sleep in, but I doubt that will happen.  Don't stop me thinking about it though.  Even the idea of sleeping in is making me happy!
