Weeks seem to fly by at the speed of light, and this year has done the same. :) We are, however, very excited to be half-way through our school year and are thoroughly anticipating our two week break. :) Not that I took a single picture related to either of those facts, but that's life. :)
349. Due to the nature of being in a college-town, we have our Christmas program a bit earlier than others around the country might. This was the Children's Choir in our program last Sunday evening.
350. Peter thought up his own challenge this week ... a carousel from K-nex! :) It was VERY cool. :) As you can see, he even made horses to go on the posts! :)
Me thinks riders would be a tad bit dizzy though. ;)
351. Ah. I guess I did get a school picture ... Hannah with her persuasive letter asking Grandma and Grandpa to come down a little bit earlier than planned. :)
352. We broke the #1 rule of photography ... always take at least TWO pictures. :) Here's about two-thirds of our class with their craft from our Christmas party Wednesday evening. Obviously not everyone was ready for a picture, but everyone enjoyed the evening. :)
353. Peter and Matthew felt it would be good and appropriate to decorate the couches.
354. With all assignments finished up by Thursday, our last day of school was enjoyed with friends. :)
355. And now the school room has become Mommy's wrapping station. :) At least I've started ... I still remember one year when our friends who had joined us for fellowship on Christmas Eve ended up helping us finish wrap gifts before they left for the night. :) (Remember, Debbie???) ;)
Once again, pictures seem to capture just bits and pieces of life ... especially when I keep forgetting to take them! :) Chris continues to make progress on our closet, someone delivers one or more packages on a daily basis, grocery shopping and errands and trips to the library keep happening, Christmas cards were mailed out, mountains of laundry are washed and folded, meals are prepared and cleaned up from, ... etc. etc. etc.
Probably the hardest thing this week was Mommy running over Matthew's bike with the van. :( So. So. Sad. Many lessons learned and a very shook up Mommy, but Praise the Lord, NO one was hurt--Matthew was inside when it happened. And by God's grace, there was enough left in the Christmas budget and a bike left in his size at Walmart, so that a replacement can be put under the Christmas tree. ♥
Anyway, that's where we're at. Looking very much forward to Grandma and Grandpa arriving to help us celebrate Christmas!
