After eating oatmeal, sausage, and drinking milk, I brushed my teeth, so Barbara would play Dodge Ball with me.  We played until she got tired.  We would play later when she was rested.

 I worked three puzzles...

 ...with little or no assistance.

I read the Night Before Christmas making up the story from looking at pictures.  Then Barbara read it the correct way.

Anthony was sleeping late, but Alyssa came over to play with me.  We mostly talked about what we wanted from Santa Claus.  We both want X-stations.  Barbara tried to remind me that we won't get everything on our list.  We played Dodge Ball with Barbara.  Alyssa throws much softer balls than I do.   I read the Night Before Christmas to Alyssa.

Barbara and GGF went to the bank.  They cashed in the coins we wrapped last night: $49.  They will give the money to Grandma to deposit into my college fund.

When Anthony finally woke up, we started playing outside.  Cole joined us.  We play, fight, get hurt, and start all over again.  We come to Barbara saying "someone hit me" and one minute later we are playing as if nothing ever happened.  They only person concerned is Barbara.

It seems that if just two of us kids are playing together, like Anthony and me, or Alyssa and me, we play pretty well, but if you get three or four or more kids together, there are a lot of disagreements.

Barbara bought some HEB multi-grain round thin bread like we ate yesterday at Mimz' home.  We had turkey salad sandwiches on it.  Yummy!

I had three small bottles of bubbles which I took outside for us to play with.  Barbara liked seeing us playing with something other than weapons.  All of my guns have been taken away.  And I really don't miss them even though we all played with them almost every day.

We rode our bikes.  Once Barbara noticed we had ridden outside of my bike-riding-boundaries.  She told all of us, where the boundaries were.

There are oodles of college football bowl games on for the next couple of weeks.  There was a game this evening between Temple and Toledo which we watched.  I decided to root for Toledo.  At half time I raced to do my bedtime routine, taking a quick shower instead of a bath with a tub full of toys.  I did it all during the halftime, except reading.   I also have not wanted to review my flashcards.

Before 9pm I was getting very sleepy.  I wanted to roll over on the sofa and close my eyes, so I asked Barbara to "commentate" the game, so I would know what was happening.  Well, she didn't have to do that long.  I was almost instantly asleep.
