I am having a bit of a problem staying with my program. I am also realizing that is OK! Whatever doesn't get done this year, will be new for next year! (hence, no projects from Dec 8 to Dec 12!)
However, I did get back to things a little today.
We did not get to the whole St Lucia breakfast thing - I was as the registry getting a new license as mine expired yesterday (which I remembered at 5:00 last night)
We did read our St Lucia books - today instead of yesterday and today:

and then I gave the littles some paint and brushes and let them have at it!

Karen, how lovely- and what a great idea for kiddies! I have some glasses I put tea-lights into that I must get them to paint. Blessings to you xx
