Christmas!
On Friday our Chrisco hampers arrived just before I had to pick up the boys from school. I put the frozen food away (a large freezer full!), and left the pantry stuff for the boys to unpack after school.
They took it very seriously, cutting the tape carefully, unpacking carefully, and checking everything off the lists. There was a box for each of them to unpack, and Chrisco put a notepad-and-pen freebie in each box, so both boys got one. It doesn't sound very exciting, but if you knew how many times I hear "Mum, can I have a piece of paper?"......

Today we put up our Christmas tree, complete with two elves (see below). I put the date on this photo because I had a frame decoration to hang on the tree; now it has this photo in it.

Good bit of work there! And it's nice that the boys are eager to use pencil and paper, as a famous man said, "Rarely is the question asked, is our children learning?" He also reassured us, "Childrens do learn," and more to the point, "You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test."
Even the tiniest bit of literacy is apparently enough to reach great heights, and he is the living proof. At least it enables us to put food on our family and live in a world where the human being and fish can coexist peacefully. ;)
