Welp, not all advent activities can be as romantic or successful as the rest. I woke up this morning with an ugly cold that landed me on the couch most of the day, and advent activity #3 was supposed to be "dance to Christmas music." This isn't so appealing when your head is pounding.Lydia had her heart set on dancing to Christmas music tonight, though, so for a little while we played some music and she danced around with Henry. It was shortlived. The night turned into a movie night. We watched Elf and one of the ABC Family Rudolph shows (the Happy New Year one) before Brandon brought out his guitar and strummed a few Christmas songs for Lydia to dance to. She was by far the one most interested in dancing tonight and couldn't get Elvis off of the couch to dance with her. The night ended in multiple-kid meltdowns and early bedtimes.
I failed to report on the Ashland Poetry Workshop this weekend - it went very well! The workshop was laid back and enjoyable, and I think the group appreciated the feedback and discourse. I had a great group and a handy list of guiding questions to direct our review of each other's poetry, and that helped me quite a bit in leading the group discussion of work. The experience was energizing instead of exhausting. I look forward to running a workshop again sometime soon. If you know anyone looking for a poetry workshop instructor, I know a gal.
