Sean got a Soda Stream for Christmas. He likes to drink mineral water, but that means we go through a lot of glass bottles. This little gadget will hopefully solve that problem, it also happens to be fun.

I used to make gingerbread houses with my classes and Colm has been asking to make a gingerbread house so I ordered these on-line. I bought a kit like this once for my nieces and was told that it was not a pleasant experience, so we shall see what tomorrow brings when we break these open.

The boys had so much fun today. We went to an indoor water park that had a wave pool, at least four REALLY tall waterslides, an indoor water basketball court and a splash zone. We had so much fun that Colm fell asleep on the way home and that RARELY happens.

Last night I went to a cookie exchange. I took five dozen oatmeal scotchies and came back with five dozen different cookies. Let’s just say my family thinks I am some kind of genius.

Liam had a friend over for the first day of winter break. I’d like to say they spent a lot of their time working on this project in the picture, but most of the time was spent discussing Pokemon.
