It's another busy week for us. There aren't really any days that don't have busy afternoons, with ballet, and we have co-op, too. We're in the last week of the Christmas season, so only the Wednesday and Friday abstinence, but we are still eating loads of cookies and treats. Some people have asked why I don't show our lunches. That is because we usually eat leftovers or sandwiches, so they aren't really that different.
