Still Busy Preparing for the Holidays

I'm still preparing for the holidays.

I'm not quite where I want to be - are we ever?

I have about $30.00 worth of non-perishable groceries left to pick up.  That includes both Thanksgiving and Christmas though.

I will be picking some things up after my doctor appointment on Monday.

The kids are doing great!  They are right on schedule.  Six children are totally finished with their shopping.  That includes gifts for the "shoe box" kids, wrapping paper, and tape.  They even have their gifts all wrapped up!

My four year old has her shopping partly done.  She plans on finishing up by next week. 

That only leaves my 2 1/2 year old.  She is excited about getting her turn to go shopping!

Well, there are the three older "kids", but they are all grown up now, so they will have to handle getting their shopping accomplished!  LOL

I have had fun working with them too!

I talked to my new daughter-in-love about making a Christmas notebook, and starting goals early.  She has had a great time working on her notebook and preparing for Christmas. 

My married daughter  brought over her Christmas notebook when she came to visit.  We talked about different gift ideas.

I have been busy collecting things to throw into the gift closet.  I love to shop all year long because I can take my time and find the best bargains! 

I've been sewing and crocheting a lot of gifts this year too.

We have been working on our stuffed animal collection.  (We hand them out at the nursing home on Christmas Eve.)

So, what have you accomplished????

About Me

I am an extremely happy wife and mama to eleven children. That's not a typo, I really said eleven. I'm 38 years old. I've been homeschooling since 1993. WOW! We have had three children graduate. Since our youngest hasn't been born yet, it looks like I will be here for awhile. Our newest edition is due January 4, 2008! ------------------------------------------------------------ All Content Copyright (c) Candy Foote & Foote Family Ministries -All rights reserved
