Nutcracker signups are this week.  We received the contracts on Tuesday.  I am always excited when we first start getting information about the Nutcracker.  It can get very hectic in December especially with Advent and Christmas but I do enjoy it.  I'm probably more anxious and excited than the girls (Honey gets to perform this year) about finding out what character they get to be.  

This year Ben will probably be gone when rehearsals start to get really going.  I need to figure out some things to do for Brother.  The poor dear will have to sit in that waiting room with us for several hours (I don't like to leave my children when in class/therapy, etc.–I know, it's an issue).  He doesn't like to read although sometimes he will.  He's very good in the waiting room but 4 hours of ballet might do him in.  We have Saturday classes (2 hours 15 minutes) and about 2 hours of rehearsals.  I'm thinking about getting a Nintendo DS so he can have something to do.  No, not for the full 4 hours but for a bit at a time.  I'm still thinking it through.  He'd have to share anyway with his siblings so he wouldn't have it all that time even if I let him (which I won't).

Just rambling right now.  I have a million thoughts, ideas and plan in mind with Ben deploying soon.

    How about audiobooks? Nintendo DS? Occasionally going to play with a friend? Knitting? Crocheting? Other small, portable hobbies/crafts? You’ll figure out the best thing. You always do.
