Calendars, puzzles, and paper airplanes

Thursday, November 29:  I picked Kaity-Girl up from school and we hung out over here tonight. Kaity was happy to see Christmas stuff up, but she told me very firmly that it was NOT Christmas yet and she did not understand why everyone decorates so early! Kaity doesn't understand how FAST time flies by ... it's only a little over three weeks until Christmas! 
 Kaity played with the Nativity Calendar for a little bit while I was getting our dinner together. 
 We did my brand new ($3.99 at Ollie's) Nativity Puzzle together. It's a nice big sturdy puzzle. Kaity really likes putting puzzles together. This came with a CD that has a bunch of nice Christmas carols (sung by children), as well as an activity book (but you have to print that out yourself ... and I haven't done so yet). We listened to the pretty music while we were working on the puzzle.
 I also picked up a new paper airplane book ($2.99 at Ollie's ... it's hard to beat their prices!) and Kaity really went to town with it! We made all five models. She decided to bring them home and share them with Emma, Chris and Matt. I love these pictures of you, Kaity!
 One of the airplane models was called a "Whirly-Gig" and it worked surprisingly well. This is Kaity trying it out. It works best the higher up you can drop it and it twirls around very nicely.
 Kaity was super pleased! 
Me too!
