If the snow...
Comes in November...
Your kids may start build an igloo...
Then come in for cocoa and a story.
If you read them Farmer Boy they may ask why you don't make donuts.
After you've made them donuts they might ask if you're ready to crochet lines to attach their mitts.
While you're crocheting the mitten lines
Your sweet little 10 month old may have some fun:)
Which may inspire you to put this outfit on him!(which you just happened to find at the Thrift Shop last week:).
While you are searching for missing mittens you may come across the baby books and think, "no time like the present to bring them up to date".
While you are down there you might just figure it's time to get started(and complete all the Christmas Sewing Projects.
When you emerge from the basement, after cleaning it up, you may ask yourself how the week went by so fast?
You will most likely be greeted in the hallway by one, or more children asking you to read another book, make another snack or wondering what you're making for supper.
They somehow think that our kitchen table should always look like baking day:).
Happy To Be Hibernating With Such A Busy Little Bunch!

Birthdays and Boxes...
The past couple days have been moderately busy. We celebrated a certain little girl's 3rd birthday yesterday. She told people at church that she was turning "leven".

Today Scott had the morning free and took Elyssia into town to get supplies to fill Christmas boxes. They mail them out next week, so thankfully we're in before the deadline:). We've been getting birthday boxes off and on for the past couple weeks, so it's honestly seemed like Christmas came early. It has kept the kids occupied during the cold snap, so I'm quite thankful for that. Today it's starting to warm up and we hope it stays that way for at least a week(or more).
It's almost time to return Calico Jack, the boy goat and I'm REALLY looking forward to that. His stench in the barn means the kids and Scott come in smelling "not so nice" each morning after chores. Hopefully some of the smell will go away once he's gone and we put new straw in. Only time will tell whether he's done the job he came to do...
Other than that we're trying to have a quieter week. We had a big laundry and baking day yesterday in order to free us up for a trip to the library later in the week!
Homeschool is going quite well. Caleb was able to read quite a bit of a new book that I pulled out and I think he even surprised himself with how well he did:). The boys both took their 2nd Science quiz and did great! We're moving on to the second section-Animals, which I think they're looking forward to more than they did the plants section. Elyssia is doing more in depth study and Scott is helping her to prepare a list of seeds to order for next Spring. She will have more "hands on" work to do then, but I think she's looking forward to that. We're 1/3rd of the way through our spelling lists and so far they usually only miss 1 or 2, sometimes 0. Math was a bit of a challenge for Garrison at the beginning of the year, but I think it's not so bad now. He's multiplying quite well and seems to really like it.
Samuel is managing to get into all sorts of things. He's the first one that heads for the bathroom and tries to cause as much trouble as possible. When you find him, he gives you an innocent expression, "what, what did I do?" He's also able to climb onto the couch, push all sorts of chairs, small tables and the kids bench around the living room. He's standing up without help, but not pushing to take steps without a "finger help" yet. His teeth have been quite and annoyance to him. There are 6 that we can see, but it seems that 2 of them like to keep going back under. He swats at them in his sleep and we're hoping to see a break soon. He's now 10 months old!
