Our Thursday....



A winter storm blew through our area today - even though it is officially still Fall!!

The school buses didn't run in our area, so the children were all home for the day.  I had paperwork to do  this morning and then some chores to do.  Lloyd swapped his evening to have the children until tomorrow evening because of the bad weather, so I made supper and put that in the oven (hash brown casserole - but made with tuna instead of ham.  To be honest you couldn't even taste the tuna and the kids didn't even know it was in there until after they were finished and I asked them what they thought - and then they told me they thought it was ham!!  So that was quite a good way to get them to eat tuna fish!!)

I vacuumed my bedroom and bathroom and the children did theirs too.  All the laundry is done and I got caught up with all my receipts etc for the upcoming classes.  Downstairs was dusted and the kitchen cleaned :)  

This evening Sam and Abby have been doing Origami - making paper cranes - as well as cutting paper snowflakes, making paper aeroplanes (flying love machines as Sam calls them as he draws hearts all over them).

Susannah is sat with me by the fire.  Rosie is with us lying on the floor by the fire too.  Sam and Abby have now gone to watch Kung Fu Panda.

I am going to have an early night after I get Sam and Abby showered.  I might work on my 'Journal Your Christmas' book for a little while - I did the cover last night.  I want to start it this weekend when we go to the Festival of Trees.  I never wait until December 1st as our festivities always seem to start in November!  

Tomorrow we are off to the Science Centre for another Homeschool Day and more classes.  Then the children are off to their dads for the evening and I am heading out for a Pampered Chef evening with Sharon :)  Yum!!
