I packed up my favorite Christmas tree ornaments today–a vintage gift from Hercules’ mom a few years ago. I love these things. I could keep them up all year. I found it strange that, although I am completely incapable of cleaning the house, I had to arrange each reindeer in order of their appearance in the song. It is like some strain of OCD gone wrong. Oh, so very wrong.

I’ve been absent from the blogsphere, in part, due to a very sick little boy. The poor little thing is recovering, thankfully.

On a whim today, we did a search for tap dancing lessons online today. Forget the $100/month! We found this on YouTube:

It’s 25 minutes, and the kids loved it.
