The exercise:

Write about: dancing the night away.

Kat and I had fun at the staff Christmas party tonight (though there was no dancing, despite what the prompt might have you believe). The boys had fun with their babysitter. That's a win and a win in my books.

The exercise:

Write about: a holiday party.

Took the kids to their first official work Christmas party today. The RDOS puts on a holiday gathering for the children of staff, aimed at the 12 and under group, though obviously the last couple of years have had to look a little different.

There were lots of craft stations, an overabundance of food, a visit from Santa, and a goodie bag to take home. It was hurt a bit by illness-caused absences but the boys had fun and I'm glad I offered to help organize it in order to make sure it happened.

The adults get our turn Wednesday night.
