We went to our school's all-school winter event, "Winterfest" today. We've been for two years now and it's been described by many as, "a very sweet event." I agree, it is. Families bring appetizers, and desserts and we order lots of pizzas for the main meal.
It's a short event comprised of songs, skits and musical numbers by the older students in the school. For the younger children, there's a play room and a craft area. Our children fall into the "younger students" category.
And by that I mean they're not going to sit still and watch a bunch of children perform. So they get to go to the children's area. My husband and I don't have much to do either as neither of our children are old enough to participate in the performances.
So I stay in the play area and graze on the desserts, crackers, cheese and vegetables while my children play with unfamiliar toys in a room to the side.
It's a nice event though and it's always a good time socializing with other parents and talking to other children. We watched a little of the event, which was funny and sweet and cute. We went home with two tired children, full of cookies.
Soon, in the next few years, we'll get to see our children perform at this winter celebration.
The Big Boy Update: Going to bed himself. If he's tired of late, he walks upstairs and puts himself to bed for a nap. He will sleep with the door open for several hours with noise all around him if he's tired enough.
The Tiny Girl Chronicles: Crackers and cheese. She loves both and I think ate mostly this for lunch today during the school event.
