It sure is starting to feel like winter lately. The lows are in the 20's at night and we have had to start building fires in the woodstove to keep warm. Yesterday My DH was home all day so we all just stayed in and relaxed we had a fire going in the woodstove all day. I just love the richness of the heat in the house .

 We had a very productive homeschool day we got alot accomplished and had alot of fun with our lapbook that we are doing. 

Mary and I made homemade oatmeal cookies for everyone. Then Dh and I each made a different soup for lunch he made a vegetable bean soup and I made a potato soup in the crockpot. They both turned out delicious.

We were all relaxing by the fire later that night watching The Black Stallion and Dh was craving pumpking ice cream so i put on my tennis shoes and drove down to the local market and bought a gallon of pumpkin ice cream and we all had that for dessert that night.  It was soo yummy! And then everyone wanted Hot Chocolate so Mary and I made that for everyone

It was such a nice relaxing day with the family.

Tonight I took the kids trick or treating with a few of their friends we had a good time. Mary didnt last long since it was so cold so the kids friends dad traded off with me and he took them the rest of the way while I took Mary home. It is bitterly cold here tonight.

It sounds like winter has definitely settled in at your house, and your home seems so warm and cozy! Mary looked so sweet dressed up. What about Micah? Did he not go this year? If so the boys want to see pics of him....

Aw, I'm sorry it was so cold out there! Your daughter is so cute, though, dressed up like a princess. Mmm, and your stove looks like a cozy spot to curl up at!!
Hugs!
