Winter To Do List...

 
 
 
Because it is already mid November, I have decided to do my winter to do list and include some November activities. If you have read through my past posts, I stated I would not be doing a winter to do list.  However, I am a flake and have changed my mind.  Or just a woman and can do that...wink wink.  Any way, her is what I have planned to accomplish...
 
Christmas picture and cards completed and made by November 30th
 
The tree WILL be put up the Wednesday before Thanksgiving so that it is DONE
 
I am hoping to have all Christmas presents bought and wrapped by November 30th.  I know there will always be last minute things to pick up.
 
I am making all my Christmas cookies (and I cheat and use the pull apart and bake kind) the first Monday that School is out for break.
 
I want to make some red hots popcorn this year (yummy).
 
Christmas is going to be low key, family centered, and fun this year.  Very little stress.
 
I want to take some fun and pretty pictures of my girls in the snow this year.  I am working on my photography skills still.
 
I am trying to learn how to REALLY crochet this winter, instead of just looming.  I have been watching YOU TUBE videos.  I am planning to start with some dish cloths.  I have wanted to do this for years and this is the year.
 
This should keep me busy for a couple of months and hopefully I can report back with a fully checked off  list!!

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me.  It is hosted by  Living to Tell the Story .   My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night.  My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations.  Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen.  They were talking about casual and personal things.  I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well.  It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee.  My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2.  I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week.  I am ready to shut the books on this we...

What's going on around here....

  I am joining up with The Simple Woman's Blog to bring you my weekly day book.  Link up and share yours and read the other links....          For today...February 2nd (Groundhog's Day) 6 more weeks of Winter was the prediction.   Outside my window....Snow.  We got enough to cover everything, but not the storm that was predicted.  I can handle this.  I will admit, snow is beautiful the first day before it gets slushy and dirty.       I am thinking...how nice to have the day off.  Sometimes using a vacation day to hang out around the house is worth it.   I am thankful and in gratitude for... an older daughter who is responsible and can run the house and the family well when left in charge for a few days.   I am wearing...my pajama pants and an Oklahoma Sooners hoodie, this may be what I stay in all day long :)   I am wondering....if raising teenagers will tur...
