We're having a little touch of 'the morning after' here.. Boyos are incredibly wound up, and have trouble calming themselves down ENOUGH to actually be able to play with their new toys (as opposed to running through the house screaming, hooting, hollering, crashing into furniture and jumping on and off everything).

I have a few things to get done and then we'll come up with a plan for the rest of the day - we need to find something fun AND structured to do...

(here's where I DO miss the European approach to Christmas, the second Christmas Day (Boxing Day for the Brits) - here you have all the excitement of Christmas crammed into one day, setting the stage for a 'let down/crash' the next. The European approach slows the pace down considerably...)

Off to peel one kid of a chandelier and tell the other one to stop pretending that the couch is a trampoline....
