Tis the Season
I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry CHRISTmas season!
This year we are busy with Advent and the Symbols of CHRISTmas, then move into the 12 Days of Christmas and Epiphany. I'll post pictures of how they are displaying what they are learning through our Bible readings, discussions, activities and crafts sometime soon.
The kids are also busy making homemade gifts for those they wish to bless during this season.
Other things that are going on right now.....
I think next week we'll be teaching and reteaching some friends how to crochet. All the kids can crochet very well, except Braeden, he's 4. He has however, been begging to learn recently LOL. Guess Ben will have to teach him how to finger crochet over the winter.
We are in an early winter wonderland this year. We already have a TON of snow (began last week) and a ton more to come this weekend too. We can see the deer very well at the feeder behind the fence now that we are snow covered. We were blessed with 3 deer and a fawn visiting for an hour this week. Normally we only see 2 come at a time. Of course have several video clips and pictures!
This weekend I look forward to finishing "defurring" the house from dog-sitting from Nov. 17-27. We watched our 2 poms' mom, dad and step-mom ;op while our friends went to CA with their daughter and the 2 younger poms (half sister and full brother to our 2 poms). I finished defurring the family room and downstairs last weekend and the main part of the kitchen earlier this week. The kids did their rooms. I have the living room left to do and shampoo the carpet in there and in the family room. YIPPY! Can't wait til it's completely gone LOL.
I had planned on having it all done right away, but, who has that kind of energy during their monthly? NOT me. Nemo - the daddy - shed like crazy! I mean, I KNEW it was all over, and we were cleaning more than we normally do during our daily chores, but WOWZA (I am quite anal about a clean house, lol, but more relaxed then I used to be). Not sweating it, I'll just finish up this weekend.
Well, I had better run, I told the kids they can go outside this afternoon and play in all this snow, now they are going crazy over it and running to get lunch chores done ROFLOL.
While they are out, I will give love to all our plants, and get my weekly deep cleaning done in the kitchen since I was too tired to do it all earlier this week on the normal day (there are the normal daily chores but each part of the house has its own deep cleaning day). AND the sun is shining!!! That will make it even better, oh I love when the sun shines and fills the house!!! It has been hiding for some time now.
I think I'll put on some CHRISTmas tunes while I work.
Have a wonderful weekend!!!
