Peace and Christmas Lists

I sent my two oldest back to school today. Usually I enjoy having my girls home with me. I really do. But when everyone is sick and cranky, it escalates to less than pleasant, really fast. At one point yesterday it started too seem perfectly reasonable to threaten to stab a ball they were fighting over. That's not generally how I handle things around here. Anyhow, now they are back at school. The toddler is napping and I'm experiencing something I haven't had in several days. QUIET! It's a beautiful thing.

I had the girls write their Christmas lists yesterday. Thought I'd share them here just for fun. E1's spelling was really good, but I'll admit I fixed the spelling on most of E2's words so that someone besides myself could read them.
