This Thursday is going to be exceptionally draggy... All my kids (especially my 4 year old, and he's the loudest) are acting up today. I've already canned our craft... It's not worth the extra whining today.

I always get the boys socks, underwear (for my older), pajamas, and books from Santa, and this year I think he's getting them each a couple of Melissa and Doug puzzles (I've been eyeing up the latches and skills boards for a while, but can't justify $20 per puzzle unless it's a special occasion). We're going to start them off with a bit of junior Lego (the Lego duplo blocks) from us.

We had planned on getting them bunk beds for Christmas and moving them into one room, but we decided against it.

I've kind of decided this year to skip getting them big or a lot of gifts. I really just don't want anymore toys since our toy room is crowded as it is. It'll make the few they get more special, and save us some cash.
