It's late morning and the sky hangs like wet steel wool in the sky. Zander is off for Christmas break and I feel the walls of this house sigh with relief. Ender and Gunther especially do well when hes home. Cora and Sam are napping and the older boys are at the library. So that just leaves me.
Junipine was all about the zip line. After Zander's tarzan demonstration, I opted out of partaking of the "fun". It required hurdling yourself through a bush and then gouging the earth away with your feet in order to stop before you hit the end of the line.
So we strung up the kids and sent them sailing. Sam had no choice in the matter.
Our attempt at a family Christmas photo. Nobody was trying. Lost cause. Besides, Gunther the most important member was in shadow.
Anymore these days I quit packing toys to take with us up north.
