Vacation Delays

Mr. Little Man and I have been planning our Christmas vacation for quite a while. We had every intention of laying on a tropical beach and collecting some shells and generally lolling about for a few days. Well, of course, this isn't happening. There are a couple of things going on over the holidays that I don't want to put off. I figure if I stay here and get them out of the way I will be able to take an even longer vacation in FEBRUARY. When it will be freezing in New Jersey. During which time we will enjoy the Costa Rican sun even more.

That leaves us several days over Christmas break where I will not have to work and Mr. Little Man will not have to go to school. We've decided to go toboganning. My brother (who still wants all the "ladies" to call him his "stripper name" of Caramel Thunder.....even though as far as I know he isn't a stripper) will be here with us for the holiday, so I will be taking 2 children on the trip with me instead of 1. Should be fun.
