Past, present, future

Well, with me working now, I've definitely been slacking a lot more than usual. But we're trying to get all caught up on our Advent calendar, which is currently ~11 days overdue (PAST).

But in the meantime, we're doing a lot of other winter/Christmas things! (PRESENT) Here are a couple pictures -


Kennady wasn't too fond of the big furry dude, but alas, she never has, so I wasn't surprised.

We're headed home to MN Christmas Eve day, so we've got lots to catch up on and do before we go. Still have to figure out when "Santa" will be coming to our house, pack our bags and get our family's presents finished! Whew ... we'll be busy! (FUTURE)

ADVENTure updates

Look at that turn around baby! I'm thinking I've got to publically declare my procrastination more often haha ...

Here's my idea laid out, I think it's ammature, but it certainly will do :)


Kennady's will have to wait for tomorrow though, that stressed me out a little lol!

ADVENTures of getting Mommy's butt in gear

I'm having a hard time working on the kids' Advent calendars. I bought huge posterboards yesterday and they have just been haunting me, as to how I want to display the lessons we're doing everyday. So progress is better than no progress and here's the idea I came up with (now, actually doing it will be REAL progress) -

That's just the outline I came up with. The table is of the days we're going thru, counting down til Christmas. The little boxes inside there, are the coloring squares they are doing, pictured here -


It's not as glorious as other peoples' ideas, but for our 1st year doing this, I think it's good. They have something daily to learn and color and in the end, they will have a beautifully colored calendar of Advent! I'm excited ...

Now off to get my idea in motion!
