Christmas Musical

Sean participated in his first Christmas Musical tonight.  Ice was freezing on the windshield on the way there, snow blowing across the road on the way home.  We thank God for keeping us safe and for such a good turnout. 

 

 

 

Field Trip

Yuletide Slide

Skating in socks. 

First time for visiting Santa without tears.   We gave up on seeing Santa a few years ago.  Of course, both kids do not remember being afraid and insist they were not.  Sean decided to “test” Santa by giving him his list. 

 

 

POLAR BEARS TO PENGUINS Exhibit

SCIENCEWORKS….   we went to a class to learn about velcro and irridescent colors. 

 

Snow Brrrrr

I think it’s going to be a long winter. 

Updated photo

It is a shame that funerals can make good photo opportunities.  I think the last time we got all dressed up was for the church directory picture last year.  I wasn’t pleased with that picture but I think these home photos turned out well. 

 

Snaggletooth and Felicity

Things have been crazy here but I didn’t want to forget to capture a picture of Sierra without her top two teeth.  She pulled both a few days ago.  Sean and Sierra have been saving up allowance money and both earned a bundle at the garage sale.  Here is Sierra with her new doll. 

Hallowevileen

Candy is evil.  High fructose corn syrup and artificial color and flavors.  But trick or treating is fun. 

 

 

Need sleep?

A couple of kids I know are sleeping well.    Us?  Not so much.  They start out in their beds.  He stays there some nights but seems to wake up about half the time after he knows that Daddy is up for work so he moves in with me.  For about the past month, she has been moving in during the night.  It started with a bad dream which was a humdinger.  It was allegedly followed by strange sounds and a green light of some kind which she doesn’t think were part of the dream.  Hence the waking up scared and moving to our room.  We’ve tried everything.  We are still praying at bedtime that she doesn’t wake up until morning but I think we’re getting a lesson on patience and sleep-deprivation for now. 

Fall Pictures

We had school pictures made today at the library.  I took these at home.

So Busy

I still try to find time to take pictures though.  Enjoy.

Beautiful morning… haven’t seen clouds much in the past couple months, but these were so pretty. 

 

Dead grass at soccer fields.  Can you say drought?  Notice the tree in the background that is already changing fall colors.

 

Dead grass in our backyard.  At least the lack of rain is consistent across the county.
