So, here's a synopsis of the last several days:
Sabbath - we were gone all day, and though we didn't have an official Advent Calendar activity, it was filled with fun and festivities. We had our church Christmas program in the evening. The kids loved helping Daddy prep the video cameras in the afternoon, enjoyed the great music, and then relished the the late-night treat of cookies and juice.
Sunday - Wrap Christmas presents! I'm hoping that having a few days between prepping gifts and Daddy coming home the kids will forget and not tell him what's in them! ;)
Monday - paint Christmas ornaments. It was with much fear and trembling that we did this one. I didn't have time to get to the store (single parenthood really puts a kink on "quick" errands!) to get washable tempera paints, so I pulled out my acrylics. I gave the "This won't come out of your clothes!" lecture. It's amazing how careful and calm they were. Yeah!!!
Tuesday - Our official activity was to listen to a dramatized Christmas story in the evening, but our morning was spent enjoying the women's ministry Christmas get-together. The kids and I got to sing carols, make cards, and eat Christmas cookies after a soup lunch. What fun!
Wednesday - Make a Christmas paper chain. Ethan has done this in Sabbath School, but this was a completely new activity for Katie. I think she was more into it than he, but we all had fun.
