  • finally FRIDAY!!!

    Outside my Window...Sunny but Cold!!!

    Beside my Bed.... a vaporizer, water bottle, and carmex  yal, we're still trying to get over all the congestion, its hard to breath thru my nose at night, and I'm battling chapped lips and very thirsty all night long!

    In the School room....table is clear, thanks to the girls! And the floor is swept, but still have lots of stuff in boxes sitting around where I can't seem to get thru with my book shelf clean out!

    In the Kitchen...DH was off today, and he made me sausage links and french toast &coffee for breakfast!

    In the Dining room... table has became the Christmas card station and the sewing table for a project we were working on for school this week.

    In the Living room...a beautiful Christmas tree deorated in red and green and white, with sparkly garland, pic to come later!

    I am hoping for...a good turn out for our Christmas caroling tonite with the church youth.

    I am praying for...the baby, for my girls, for DH to start feeling better, for a safe trip to see family, for wisdom in raising my children, for some things to fixed in the house!

    I am thankful for...that this year we really simplified our Christmas activities, so that I don't feel overwhelmed like I have in past years! Drawing names helped alot, putting up less decor (even tho that about kills me) not baking for everyone in the country this year  but we are a little just to make memories for ourselves. Don't get me wrong, I hope I don't sound too much like Scrooge here, WE LOVE Christmas, just decided sometimes you can do too much, and not focus on the real reason, OUR SAVIOR!!!!!

    I am enjoying... sitting here listening to Christmas music, while I Blog,listening to the little girls play outside.

    A recent fun activity...I took the girls out to the park where they collected large pine cones to decorate as Christmas trees to give as gifts. I have some cute pics of that but can't find the camera card I used!  I will put them on when I find it!   Also, I took them to the thrift store where they bought some brand-new items for gifts for thier friends. They were thrilled that they could buy for more people that way, and they had enough money!

    Another recent activity....Last Sat was Rachel's piano recital, here's a pic, vidio will come later

    not a great pic, but it really is beautiful how they have the white lights strung in the trees with the spanish moss hanging...a beautiful southern thing

    So tonite is caroling, tomorrow nite we will celebrate the two Dec. B-days early DH and DD#3, and we might go ride the Christmas train at the park if it's not too cold. Then Sunday, and Monday starts our packing for our trip! We will have our Christmas here early too, probably on Tuesday...then FRIDAY we're supposed to find out if we are to be buying pink or blue baby clothes!!! Can't wait!!!  Have a Great Weekend!!!!    ~Jill~

  • It sounds like you're good and busy! Your Rachel looks great dressed up for her recital (LOVE that necklace!)! It's fun to drive around and see th lights at Christmas! We used to do that in Phoenix. Here, only one family does a big, huge display.  I am looking forward to finding out if you're having a boy or girl! The excitement level goes up!
