advent calendar: we arrived home today. then took naps. the children haven't asked about the calendar yet, but i'm sure we'll do that soon.
we did: packed up & headed home. lunch-type things from burger king.
we're looking forward to: going out with daddy for some pizza. the children like the place where they can "make their own."
quote of the day: on the drive home, there was an ambulance following us for a while. it didn't have its lights on, and i explained that if it's not super important to get to the hospital really fast, they just drive like the other cars. then shelby said to cyrus, "i can't wait til i die." it caught my ear, and i asked her what she said. she repeated it. she made me smile. she said, "it will be nicer. and cleaner." she has much better perspective than i did at her age. i was so proud of her. but that'd be a little hard to explain to some people, i guess.
