Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree…

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

Yay!  Christmas vacation is here!  I’m very happy to report that the boys are way ahead in their school work and we’re able to have some extra Christmas vacation days off.  Hooray for homeschooling and  working at your own pace!  :-)  

I’m not happy to report that I couldn’t get my act together enough to get a Christmas card made and sent out this year.  That’s been the biggest challenge so far in this homeschooling endeavour:  finding time in my day to get all of my housekeeping done that gets neglected when I’m “Teacher Mom.”  Oh yeah…and I have a newborn too.  Sometimes those little creatures interfere with housekeeping too.

Here, though, are some photo’s of the girls for your viewing pleasure… (photo’s of the boys coming soon)

Livin’ La Vida Loca

December already!  Can’t believe it.  We are doing great here.  Most days are a crazy, chaotic  mess of laundry and lunches, nursing and napping, adjectives, subjects, predicates, Renaissance art and history and climbing the solfege staircase.  :-)   It’s insane, let me assure you.  In fact, we’re seriously approaching the have-your-own-reality-TV-show type of insanity.  It’s awesome!

Anyhow…   here’s a bit of our life in photo’s…

Yes…that’s gum in Phoebe’s mouth.  This is how I get her to sit still to do her hair.

Matching dresses!  Love having two little girls to dress up.

October was a gloomy, damp month.  I felt like I had been cheated out of a fall.  But November made up for it.  We even got outside to take some pictures.  I love this one of the boys…
