There was a deacons meeting this morning, which I ducked out on so I could get some donuts and watch the kids for Beth's home craft show with Rachel and Theresa. By the time I got there there was already about 3 dozen donuts in the house. Most of the time during their show I just took the kids to McDonald's and let them run around in the playland. Missy got stuck at the top of the climbing thing and hollered for help a few times; she wanted me to come up and get her. We had bowling later on in the day, and since we had no babysitter we took the kids with us. Each time we do that I can't wait for it to be over. They just cannot keep out of things. Alex kept bringing me another and another new ball for me to try and I was afraid he was going to drop one on his fingers or foot or Missy. So, we just tried to go as fast as we could. Later on in the evening was the work departmental Christmas party at Bogey's Steak House, which wasn't nearly as good as last year's. We had a buffet that was ordinary for the money, and it was really crowded. The band (all Zimmer employees) was passable for entertainment.
