Day in the Life of Christmas Break

Today was a pretty relaxed day. Only a few more days of Christmas break are left, and after yesterday's visit to Dream World, everyone kind of did their own thing.

Nalin went over to her friend Hannah's for a play date and a sleep over tonight. Last year Hannah and Nalin were in the same class and played together a lot. This year they are not in the same class and haven't spent as much time together. I had the maid pack a bag for the sleep over, but when Nalin stopped by to pick it up, she insisted on repacking it.

Aleena had her friend Anook over for a play date. Anook lived next door to us before we moved, but the girls are still good friends. Another former neighbor, Kiara also stopped by for a bit. After her play dates, Aleena fell asleep on the couch. Sometimes playing with friends is an exhausing endeavor. When she awoke at 4:30 p.m., Booah took her to ISB for a picnic with Anook and Kiara.

Jacob went to his friend John's house today. They typically play video games and hang out indoors. Today, however, John's dad took them to the driving range for an hour. From Jacob's rendition of the day's events, it sounded like they had fun.

Tim worked from home in the morning. She has a desk setup in the upstairs hall that has worked out really well. She left for work in the afternoon to attend a meeting.

I ran to the IT Mall today to have the DVD player in my laptop changed. I'm getting the laptop ready to give to Tim, because I have a new computer and the laptop that she has is pretty antiquated. While I was there, I got a foot massage. This was only memorable because it was the first time the masseuse was a guy. It was only a foot massage, but still I didn't like it. I'm also working on a photo album of some pictures.

Ordered pizza tonight, since Aleena's picnic meant that the maid hadn't even started on dinner at 6:00 p.m. Afterwards, Jacob and Aleena got ready for bed, and then watched some TV. Tim got home around 8:00 p.m., which is actually pretty earlier for her schedule.
