So we went to church last week but this morning we got a call that church was canceled due to a snow storm coming in. Well it is a good thing Donnelly didn't do this or we would go all winter with out church :) So we are chilling at home and I made some yummy carmel licorice. Really yummy! It is too bad for Joseph though, he hasn't been to church all month due to work and missing our ride and canceling church. Hopefully next week.
On Joseph's day off yesterday he went with one of our friends to go help a member in the ward move to a town about 30 minutes away. He left here 9:30 in the morning and didn't get home till 6:30 at night.....So much for having a day with daddy. It was a long day for him but I told him he would be blessed for it.
It has been snowing quite a bit here lately. I think people really freak out when it does. They shut down a lot of things due to it. I don't think they have enough snow plows to keep the roads clear. So that is why we are bumming it at home. :) We watched the Christmas devotional by the first presidency though and it was wonderful.
Bridger loves to play the bad guy lately and plays with a light saber or is red claw from the land before time series and goes around running after us with his "claws". Bridger is counting and drawing circles really well and loves to sing songs. and He likes to tell us the bunny story. So cute!
Gideon is always asking "what is 8+8 or what is does that say?" So I am looking forward to starting pre-school at the beginning of the year and workinig with him to help him learn to read and get better at math. He loves learning. He always has a new question for me every morning. "what is that dangly thing in your throat?" or "what does your ear drum look like" So we research the topic on the internet and he loves finding out more.
Here is a little tour of our home....The rest will come after a cleaning day :)
Our under the stairs play room
lounge area under there
Our stockings in the dining room :)
A friend was done with this and gave it to us. The boys have been drawing with chalk and crayons all day yesterday and today
We bought our first computer system. A printer, computer and monitor. We are very excited to have it. We are going to use our laptop for our pre-school computer to research, current events and learning games on.
We watched our first movie on our computer last night.....True Grit with John wayne as Rooster cogburn. Good ole' westerns.
This is our weekly schedule. Joseph has a interesting schedule so we worked with it and came up with pre-school days, cleaning days, play days and when we do things. This is our everyday calender that we can refer to when scheduling in other things.
