I took my 3 oldest (ages 14, 11 and 9 in 3 days) to the NJ Shakespeare Festival production of Cymbeline. It was great! I had sent the older 2 to see the other Shakespeare plays this season, but for this play I decided to ask my parents to babysit my younger boys. So...I got to go to the play and I can't wait to return next season.

Then we had a "girls party" for my soon-to-be 9 year old. Just a bunch of girls, and we did lavendar facials and manicures before eating a lot of yummy food! I was glad I got organized enough to do this for my daughter.

Now...I need to get things organized for Christmas! The older kids have picked out presents for their younger siblings. It makes me happy to see how excited they get about buying presents for other people.

Now we're going to watch Little Women!

Hope everyone's having a great December...
