So Tired and St. Nicholas Day
|
Yes I know I haven't updated this blog
in forever. Please forgive me! I did however add some more
recent pictures. The one of us as a family was taken yesterday
and the ones of the kids I took a couple weeks ago. We have had such a busy week this week. At the end of last week we were contacted by Habitat for Humanity as candidates for the next house build. Very exciting. They wanted to meet on monday night so I cleaned ALL day long and later that evening it was snowing quite hard and the meeting was cancelled. Whew but at least I had a clean house. The meeting was rescheduled for Thursday afternoon but that was postponed again too so our meeting is tomorrow at 10! Wednesday was St Nicholas Day so I decided that we would celebrate it with friends. We invited 3 little girls and their moms and baby sister over for a st. nicholas day tea. One of the mom's brought butter cookie dough so we cut out and decorated cookies. Here are some pictures of that day. First thing though, The kids got a few little presents in their stockings. Cutting the cookies  Toby concentrated really hard on decorating his cookie  And eating it And Yesterday we decorated the tree so I have pictures from that too. The kids got really into decorating and Toby was having soo much fun. This is his first real christmas experiencing everything since he was only 8 months old last christmas. He was handing me the ornaments and even trying to put them on himself.   I know this one is blurry but I think it looks cool   This was taken RIGHT before he said "NO CHEESE!" He was tired of me taking pictures and I called his name so I could get one of him looking at the camera. It's Julianna and Daddy's job to put the star on the top of the tree. Jules looks forward to this part every year!  And that's the last of the pictures. As for schooling. We've been doing well. We are on the second books of both Explode the code and singapore Math. Jules is enjoying doing the work and she finds it neat that she can sound out words and figure them out herself. When she draws she almost always asks me how to spell things so she can "label" it's cute! Anyway.. It's been a long week. Tonight I'm trying Toby out with his matteress on the floor and so I've been up and down the stairs keeping him from bugging his sister too much. He's finally quite so I'm going to go check on him and then relax in front of the tv for a while. Jeff's out for the night so it's just me! |
