It's Raining, It's Pouring....

So, instead of actually doing much today, after church we hustled home and holed up inside doing our various activities.  The Professor took a much deserved nap (he had co-op board nonsense to deal with early this morning - someone broke one of the windows in the building, so he was contacting the Super and the police - good times....), the kids were playing on the computer, and I was playing with paper.....

I didn't even have to make dinner, as we had leftovers from dinner last night; The Professor's college has a Christmas party every year, which we dutifully attend.  They have a raffle with about 5 or 6 prizes, and every year my children hold their tickets in their small, optimistic hands, and learn that they didn't win anything.  Well, this year changed all that - they actually picked one of our numbers, and we won a gift certificate to a lovely restaurant.  Last night we dressed everybody up, dropped the car off with the valet, and had a marvelous dinner on somebody else's dime (well, mostly).  Who could ask for anything more?
