December Happenings

It has been a while since I have blogged. There just isn't enough time in a day when you homeschool. It seems when I get a chance on the pc it's usually to seek books for a current unit or to scope out some cool Christams activities. But lo and behold a Saturday has arrived and I have a few free moments to blog...or so I'm thinking ...but I hear "Mommy" so I'm wondering if that is really going to be true. Ok so our life since by last entry......

It is tradition to get our tree the day after Thanksgiving. This year it was raining, so we got it the Sunday after Thanksgiving. We spent the next two days decorating the tree and house for Christmas.






We celebrated my grandmother's 92nd birthday. We took her out to 99 resturant followed by games, cake and presents at my home.


My boys are still playing basketball on Saturdays.



Our wonderful friend Shaun Cour spent numerous hours taping and mudding the walls so that after 5 years, I can finally get my entryway finished! THANK YOU SHAUN!!! So now the fun part begins. Here is Eric aftera few hours of sanding. I'm hoping it will be done by Christmas but I'm not gonna hold my breath...I'm praying I can at least start the new year off with an organized entry way.



I have yet to finish my Christmas shopping and my husband's birthday is on Monday and I haven't done anything for that yet. I had some ideas rolling around that I really wanted to do but we couldn't swing it financially after the van purchase....so back to the drawing board I go. Well off to do laundry I go...it's Saturday...which means everyone gets clean sheets! Gotta love clean sheets!
