December 15th-21st

I have been craftin' up some Christmas goodies this week...

Here are some highlights from this past week:

*Spent Saturday morning practicing for the Church Choir's 

Christmas program, and Saturday afternoon

exchanging Christmas cookies

at the church

(I brought THESE Candy Cane Snowballs to the exchange-

they are the bomb!)

*Watched Mad Max and Smiley B for the last time

this year-

I will get to have more preschool fun with them

again in January

after the Christmas holidays.

*Sent my kiddos away for a couple of days-

Jungle Girl and Little Wild Man to Kentucky

with their Grandalf and

Baby Girl to stay with Marmee.

It was a rather spontaneous decision,

so we began our Christmas Homeschooling Break

a bit early-

love the flexibility of homeschooling!

*While the kiddos were away,

their Mommy got to "play!"

I spent a day and a half

crafting and wrapping-

getting all of my Christmas presents 

squared away,

while staying in my PJ's.

*Received a beautiful chocolate crystal 

butterfly necklace from my husband 

in celebration of our

15th wedding anniversary!

We didn't really get to go out and celebrate,

since I was stuck in my PJ's,

but we have plans for that later...

*Did a little more Christmas shopping-

along with 15,000 other people-

whew!

*Celebrated a birthday/Christmas

with

"friends who are like family"

We had a 

"Riddles in the Dark Chocolate"

Birthday Cake

in honor of Little Wild Man's 7th birthday,

and introduced everyone to

"Kid History."

(Hee! Hee!)
