Our year of Sunday School has truly and officially started. Today was the boys’ first class of the year (and Emanuel’s first ever). They came back excited and happy and Emanuel with a beanie baby in hand. Apparently all the kids got one but they had the little ones bring theirs home. Ken didn’t even have to stay for the whole class, he just got Emanuel settled and was able to leave which is excellent. I got our schedule for the rest of the calendar year which shows that NEXT Sunday is a no class day which is PERFECT as it is also the city attractions FREE day.

This left us girls home alone in our pj’s. A great excuse to give Trinity a treat and let her watch cartoons while I either stitched or scrapbooked.

I actually got a few pages done today!

Family together

We thought to have guests over today but their prior engagement ran late so no visitors. This cleared up Ken’s schedule to do the cleaning he HAS TO have done tonight to make his cleaning deadline and get his week of gaming. Currency!

Much of my late afternoon and evening has been spent working on Echo’s stocking. I am actually coming to the end of it ahead of schedule, though I had to take some time out to hunt down the lettering list… for some reason the new copy went missing so I had to hunt down my old one.

To date

The weather has gotten so chilly I am already on the hunt for the carseat cover we used with Trinity. This  time last year the weather was still rather warm and the kids are being VERY contrary when it comes to wearing jeans. I am going to have to  go through all of the drawers and pack up those shorts soon! At least Trinity can wear her little leggings and keep hers out year round.

Snuggling is the best way to keep warm

Ken and the boys played a rousing game of 3D snakes and ladders before bed. I got a bunch of dinosaur themed worksheets printed out to get them going in the morning as well as their copy books with words – names of the family members, ready to go. I am determined to get the boys working on those apple lapbooks. Last week it completely slipped my mind while they were working on their Lightning McQueen books and sorting through stuff left around the house.

So back to sewing for me!!
