Monday wasn't too bad. Bennett got to watch Rudolph. I tried watching with him, but he was really fidgeting and asking too many questions so I had to get off the couch.
On Tuesday we made birdseed ornaments to give as gifts. Some of them turned out better than others. Later in the week I made some more since we didn't have enough from the first batch. I've read some negative reports about these, so hopefully they don't crumble too much or grow mold.
Wednesday's Advent item was some winter pencils. Kind of lame, but Bennett liked them. We asked him to draw a picture for Santa of what he wants for Christmas. He drew "a red present with a bow".
On Thursday we made a cotton ball snowman. I made the face but Bennett did the rest.
On Friday I had my work holiday party so we enlisted Grandpa to babysit. At 3:30 I got a call from school that Bennett had a fever. Grandpa still watched Bennett but since Bennett was under the weather I don't think they were able to have much fun- pretty much dinner and bed.
On Saturday we had planned to go take the "official" photos with Santa but Bennett was still not feeling well so we ended up watching lots of movies/tv-- Cars, Toy Story, and multiple episodes of Curious George.
Saturday night it snowed. On Sunday Bennett went to Nana's house. He helped shovel the driveway and then they went for a walk in the snow. Later on Auntie Hanna came over and they all went to pick out a Christmas Tree. They came home in time for nap and then later we ran some errands.
That wraps up the 2nd week of Advent!
