Friday

A friend recommended the workbook for Experiencing God to me last week, and it arrived today. We were having a stressful day, so I put on a movie for the kids and snuck outside with the book and my last piece of Salted Caramel Chocolate.

I’m ready for Christmas. I try to hold off as long as I can, but I broke down and got an evergreen scented candle.

These are Gus’s favorite books right now. Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site and Llama Llama Red Pajama.

“Dat ‘moke!” (That’s smoke!) . . . “Mama coming?”

Bedtime. It looks like this was edited with heavy vignetting, but it was actually taken in a dark room with a flashlight. Lena was still awake.

Eighteen Degrees

It was 18 degrees (Fahrenheit for my International readers) when I got up this morning. A high of 37 degrees. Hello, winter.

Yet, after school, I still heard “Mama, can I play with [my friend]?”

And I said yes! Clearly, I’ve lost my mind.

Actually, this girl, who seemed to love being out in the cold, may have lost her mind. Or found her Ukrainian heritage.

Carrying all of his stuff and Lena’s stuff. What a gentleman!

Rainy Monday

Today was just a rainy Monday. The temperature started off okay, but by the time I took the dogs out for a walk it was 42 degrees. No thank you. I know it’s only going to get colder, but I am definitely not a cold weather person.

That being said, I love the way that leaves look with rain on them.

We also saw this guy out for his own walk.

In unrelated news, school conferences were last week and since I was out of town, I just had Lena’s today. Both kids are doing really well in school. No major concerns. Both of their teachers are great.

Lena also lost her last double tooth today. I will have to try to remember to take a picture tomorrow.
