Half a Day

It’s almost time for Christmas vacation, or winter break, or whatever it is schools call it now. I’ll call it Christmas vacation forever. Frank has two finals today, and then he’s done. So by 12:15, he’ll be home and ready to rest.

His swim coach may not like it much, but I’m going to go easy on him as far as practice goes over the break. We’ll be out with friends tonight and gone tomorrow. Will I get up at 6:00am Saturday morning to get him there? I haven’t decided yet. I suppose it depends how badly he wants to go. I can always go back to sleep.

Beckett isn’t finished until 4:00 today, but he already has plans for vacation. Tonight he wants to have a mom and Beck sleepover. He wants to watch Christmas movies and drink hot chocolate. There are movies he wants us to go and see as a family. And he is so excited about skiing he’s counting the minutes.

I love vacations with the boys. I love family time, and doing what we want when we want. It will involve lots of family visits to the Y, and lots of downtime. Which we all need.
