Last night, the girls and I had some time to do “girly” things. We made pizza, did some crafts and then played with lights again. It was a lot of fun having time to just play.

Last night, I had fun experimenting with light pictures.
Thanksgiving
For Thanksgiving this year, we went to Allan’s brother’s house. We enjoyed great food, then most of us went outside to play in the snow. It was a great afternoon!

Back to School
Today, for the first time in a long time, everyone was home to work on school assignments together. While Mark was gone, school was different. It seemed quieter and he was not around to help answer the younger ones questions. Today’s noise and controlled chaos felt so good!
After a morning of hard work, we went to the park for Adrian’s science class. We left early so we could see if an inch (or two) of snow was enough for sledding. It was! We played outside until class started, and then the kids enjoyed playing a few more minutes after class.
It is so good to be all together again!
Hard Work
It seems like we had a lot more leaves than normal this year. We have completely raked our yard three times. I think we are finally finished.
I am so thankful for children who are willing to help us work hard. Then as a reward, they enjoy playing hard too!
Good Morning!
When morning gilds the sky,
our hearts awaking cry:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
in all our work and prayer
we ask his loving care:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
