I am finally sitting down for the first time today with nothing to do but go to bed. YAAAY! It was a good day, but I am definitely worn out. We had school the first part of the day, but then after lunch was all about getting ready for the party this afternoon--making pizzas, taking pictures, opening presents, cooking more food, going to the playplace, doing dinner, reading new books, and cleaning up. It was a bit crazy. The playplace at the mall was entirely my responsibility since I was alone with the kids except for a two mall workers, but thankfully it went better than expected. Our kids were the only ones there, and we only had a few bumps and scrapes and one genuine scare (do not stick your face on the giant inflatable castle kids, you can't breathe when you do), but even then everything was ok without need for medical treatment. A few things to deal with, but all in all it wasn't bad, and I was allowed in the playscape since there weren't any other kids. Water was a bit tricky, but my little translators helped out and it all worked out. Christopher (and Kimberley, and Valbona, and David) all liked Connect Four--I'm saving the other part of what I was going to give the kids for an early Christmas gift so that I don't need to send something from America. I honestly think Valbona was just as excited about Connect Four as Christopher, so that's good, because it will give them something to do together.
Had a good talk with David tonight while cleaning up, so that was good: hopefully I managed to be encouraging. Boiler leaked again this afternoon, but its shutoff valve now works, so not as much water went crazy.
Going to bed now because I'm tired!! Hope all is well with all of you.
