The energy level of a room full of nine year olds, plus some additional kindergarten littles is a spectacle to behold. You may not like it, nor care for it, but the amount of bombast & noise could power a small townhouse complex for a few days at a time. Running, pushing, shoving, games of tag, chasing, squealing, burps & farts, the list of activities is as endless as it is unplanned. Add in some sodas and theater candy and these kids will launch themselves directly into the sun with their energy output. I’m glad they are all happy. Better out than in. Also, glad it’s not at my house. I’d fear for my Christmas tree, and I’d worry about the structural stability of our floors with all that jumping, leaping, and running about. Madness. Absolute mayhem. Chaos incarnate. Other descriptors that are evocative!
Welcome to Saturday morning people. Almost 8:00am after a long & busy week back from our vacation. I’m almost sleeping more like normal now that we are neck deep in our regular schedule, and I am in my own bed. The vacation was a resounding success. Had a bump or two but was ultimately very effective in the use of our time. Could we have used atleast one sunny day for the eight we spent near Orlando/Kissimmee? Sure, one would have been appreciated, but we got none. It was still warmer than home, by a sizable margin, and we were able to swim & sit in the hot tub during the rain, so not a total loss. Our condo was big enough to not feel cramped which was a relief. Our two Tampa hotel stays the started & ended our trip were much smaller and would have been a challenge to occupy the whole fourteen days. Eleven total days spent between three theme parks was… alot. Tired feet and sore hips by the end of most days.
Now we turn towards Christmas once we get past this ninth birthday party, and tonights Santa Claus Parade. We will have to see if the kids can manage both a raucous mid day activity, and a late afternoon, in to the evening one. Especially one where they will have to stand the whole time. Could wind up being too much for them. We’ll see.
Already had a few kids drop out of the party with fevers & coughs, so i have to imagine one, some, or all will have something unpleasant by Christmas break. I could do without that! Ciao Bella!
