I love the holidays,  I love the time with family, the decorations, the "no schedule"? of school and kids activities.

My four children on the other hand have started the Can I have a friend over? routine.  I guess they made it 9 days into the break without asking- I should be happy with that.  I'm not opposed to friends over, I just love the all days in our PJ's, watching movies and being together time. 

This time will fly by, I know.  The break first, and then the time when they are home.  My oldest will take driver's education next year.  When did that happen?  she leaves for college in 3.5 years.  A blink if you think back that amount of time.

So, I'm compromising... friends are coming over tomorrow, movies with me tonight!

How come they have to grow up so fast?
