24 Days Until Christmas...

Ok,

So child received her "Countdown" booklet today. She LOVED it ("You're the BEST scrapbooker in the WHOLE world, Mommy!!). And today's activity is to set up the menorah. We try to celebrate all the fall/winter holidays that we can. So we must go dig out our boxes for the holidays and get things moving. But first we had to head out for our Saturday classes. That did not turn out well...

I picked up our "Hogwarts" buddies (yes, Saturday school consist of HP related classes for science and beyond). We leisurely drove ourselves over to the Nat'l History Museum, only to be confronted with MILLIONS of red/gold decorated USC fans and a smattering of gold/blue UCLA fans. Yes - today is the BIG game at the Colosium and parking was at a premium. Our other Hogwarts buddies who had to travel a further distance, got stuck on the freeway in all the USC/UCLA traffic. We all turned around and went home. Well, sort of home. There was a small detour to a nice place for lunch first. But home we are now. We will make up classes another time.

I'm off to work on making journals. I'm SO far behind.. 1 week to Faire.
