Fun New Stages

I love that now at random times I can feel a "brrrring" truck running up and down my leg...

Yesterday I gave myself permission to lay on the floor with Melia and help her work on her "adult" paint by number, and listen to her tell me all about everything... So much better than trying to organize the Christmas chaos.

And Kiera can get orange juice all by herself... unfortunately without asking... :-)

Jim Bob Duggar's Tips for a Healthy Marriage

Mwuhaahhahhahaa

I found it! The sock monkey's lair! :-)

Relief

I finally finished our Genesis 1 class! And on time! I got really behind (like 2 months) because of the tremendous amount of stuff I didn't understand very well.... like quantum physics (oi!)... and if I don't understand well enough to explain it to anyone, then I don't like answering the essay questions halfway... you can see the spiral! But I buckled down and got 11 weeks done in 3! And finished the final last night. Just in time for Christmas!

Whew! Now I might actually get our Christmas cards completed!

Hog Hollow, Pics Part One

We went on Saturday to get our Christmas tree at Hog Hollow Farm, and boy, did we have a great time! Enjoy the pictures!

For Isaac, it was ALL about the snow. Who cares about that cute little tree? I have snow on my gloves! And Mommy is letting me eat it!!!

He also was beyond cute in his little get-up...

Kiera lost it because she couldn't cut down the tree!

Isaac thought this was a great game :-)

Weeeee!!!!!

It's just my size!

The Smithite girls...

Apparently, We Aren't the Only Ones...

We aren't the only ones enjoying the warmth emanating from our pellet stove.... :-)

Isaac's First G U N

Gabe found these at a Big R near where he was hunting this fall. He bought two boxes, which equals four guns! They've literally turned Isaac into a dog. He brings you a gun, loads it for you, then waits (im)patiently for you to shoot it, and runs to fetch the arrows? bullets? shooters? He then brings them back and loads it again... and again... and again. You have to hide the guns if you don't want to be stuck playing fetch all day! :-)

This, in my opinion, was a GREAT buy!
