Today our son was in school for a half hour; the district called it a no school day at 7:30 am. (high school starts at 7:15 am). Talk about confused.........And go ahead and sing all the holiday songs you like. I love music and it really is OK. We need to do whatever we can do to keep our sanity in the season of snow.

Brian is totally outside (he'd be outside even when it is 0 degrees). Middle boy would do it if chocolate was involved (he is my son, you know).<BR/><BR/>Katie<BR/><BR/>I am still so impressed that Sayer drew a tree!

Middle boy LOVES the 'dredal" song. Please just don't make me sing it. He also loves playing dredals..okay, he just likes the chocolate gelt.<BR/><BR/>I am also glad that you can see that Sayer can draw a tree and understand a calendar....looking at things from a different perspective helps, I am sure.<BR/><BR/>katieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2938775437231014036.post-5804059831796009032008-12-15T20:09:00.000-08:002008-12-15T20:09:00.000-08:00I have a neighbor who is Jewish, her husband is Ca...I have a neighbor who is Jewish, her husband is Catholic, so they celebrate both. It's nice to know that their kids get to participate in both. She seems to be happy that I know about some Jewish customs, though I celebrate Christmas, because I dated a Jewish man once (Russian). <BR/><BR/>Glad you've jumped in with the class' understanding that there's more than Christmas. They will be "richer" for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
