We played dreidel again....what can I say?? They love this game :) Such a simple game but so loved :)
We read THIS book:
We also read 'I See Santa Everywhere' again because Sam has decided this is his new favourite book :)
Sam wrote a book - he drew the pictures and dictated all the words which I wrote for him - he then wrote the title on the cover:
Abby wrote a newspaper front page with a headline story about Christmas and a few other articles - she learned how to use various parts of MS Word including text boxes and adding pictures...saving work etc etc....we have printed out copies of her newspaper for a few people:
Rosie had a busy morning guarding us....at least that is what I think she was doing....
I snapped this last night but it is the way the children have decorated the back door by my chair :) Love it :)
Abby practiced her twirling:
I cleaned the kitchen, did two loads of laundry...and basically did all the above with the kiddies. Oh and started my new book too :)
After the grey day yesterday, and all the wet snow last night and the big fluffy snow flakes late last night, today is a gorgeous sunny day with bright blue skies - it is even quite warm out again. Just gorgeous!! We put the sugar cookie castle out on the bird table this morning and have been enjoying watching the birds eating from it - we kept it whole and its funny seeing Chickadees sitting on a fairy castle :)
Today is the Winter Solstice. Shortest day of the year and first day of Winter.
A day to think of renewal and letting go of the darkness...
