This week was a vacation week for us. I did quite a bit of heavy cleaning and organizing. And we all some time to chill and relax. We also had a good time visiting with family. For the first time in a long time I didn’t do any Black Friday shopping. And I decided that a week is too long to take off with no school.
In the past, we’ve done a holiday unit study or some kind of light school during Thanksgiving and Christmas break. I tried taking the whole week off this week. By lunch time on Monday, I was hearing the familiar- “I’m bored.” We also had way too much screen time going on. I’m thinking for Christmas we need to revert back to our light school days.
On Monday, I cleaned out the laundry room and dug out the nativity scene and Advent wreath. Rachel helped me set up the nativity scene.
Tuesday night the little girls sang with our elementary choir in our church’s community Thanksgiving service. The service was quite good with music and testimonies that helped to bring our attention to thanking and praising God.
Tuesday was also my birthday. Ashlyne had hinted that a breakfast in bed was coming. However, the Monopoly game had consumed them Tuesday morning. So, I actually had breakfast in bed on Wednesday as a late birthday treat.
On Thursday morning, the kids and I made turkey cupcakes again. This year I made them gluten free. They were actually very good. As always, we were pretty silly in the making. It’s a wonder any of them even resemble turkeys.
On an exciting personal note, I found out that I am going to be on the TOS Review Crew again this year. I’m extremely excited and looking forward to great things to review again this year. I’ve got some big plans for my blog, and I’m hoping to be a source of information and inspiration to my readers. There are some fun things in store!
On Monday we’re back to work. There are only a few weeks before Christmas, but we’ll be back on a regular schedule for a little while.
