day 4 - random act wednesday

Usually we do our Advent activity after dinner, but this afternoon we stopped at Barnes & Noble on our way home for their book drive to benefit Cradles to Crayons.

They had displays of books to purchase, so TheBoy was able to make his own choice about which book to choose to give to someone who needed it. 

We also had to purchase a gift for a friend's birthday tomorrow. It was tough to buy something for other people and not get something for himself, but he did a great job.

Bonus: Activity done early means decent bedtime - for both of us. Much needed.
