Recently the girls have been obsessed with watching High School Musical on Netflix. I have gotten lots of hand me downs from my sister’s girls and had remembered seeing High School Musical pajamas somewhere in the piles. When I came across the night shirt and gave them to Leah, she acted like she won a million dollars! It was really cute. She made her own jelly sandwich the other day and was pretty proud of herself.
Slowly the Christmas decorations are coming out. I bought a new Santa this year, he’s in charge of the Advent and Christmas books.
For the first time I had help with Christmas cards. Jacob was eager to help with stamping our return address and placing stamps on the cards, we got done in record time!
There is always a lot to do, so sometimes that means multi-tasking. Here I’m doing my Advent reading on the treadmill. Now, I can’t run and read, but walking is usually okay.
Favorite Poems Old and New is one of my favorite resources. We are having fun learning a couple of new finger plays for the season, as well as a couple of new poems from the book. This books seems to have a little bit of everything!
This week we started conjugating verbs in Latin. So far I think the kids have a good grasp of how and what to do. I broke out the colored chalk and the chalkboard – old school style!
Nutcracker Unit Study – we’re going to see the Nutcracker this weekend, so we will be referencing this study over the next couple of weeks. Thanks Mary, for creating a fun resource!
I’m getting ready to head to BEECH Retreat next month {next month!}, and I ordered some business cards and a cute journal. I’m definitely going to need that journal to jot down all the great things I’m going to learn over the weekend.
Happenings on the blog this week:
10 Day “Healthier You” Challenge – an easy and painless way to shed a few holiday pounds.
Road Trip Tips – We’re going to be on the road at the end of the month, so I was inspired to get some tips down on paper.
Finally, if you only have a moment to read one blog post this week, please make it this one!
Have a great weekend!
