Two weeks before Christmas

It snowed multiple times this week. We didn't get a ton of snow, but it was enough. The kids skated on a frozen pond one day at nature group. They enjoyed that quite a bit.

We made half and half barley and wheat bread this week. Other than with Sara, it was well received. Because Sara didn't like it we probably won't make it again.

Most of the week we have been doing Christmas things. It feels like we have most everything ready, which is nice. Alison reminds me that we still have seven more things to do...

Friday we went with Amy and Dave to The Last Jedi. It was pretty funny, and the characters seemed to develop into deeper characters throughout the movie. I won't spoil it, but generally we liked it.

The kids were babysat by Loren and his family while we were there. It is sort of funny to Mike that Alison is in contact with them more than he is, but that is what home schooling does.

On Saturday we went to a performance of the nutcracker. The kids enjoyed it, even Timmy, who mainly liked the fight with rats. Gideon got fussy about half way through, so Mike took him out to prevent his noise from ruining the show.

Mike is having Scott print up some pieces for a board game - he is getting ready to submit it to a publisher, and wants it to look good.

The kids are really excited for their grandparents to come over, and for Christmas. Timmy is also especially excited about Santa.

Gideon is now trying to walk all over the place. He still falls a ton, but he is definitely making progress.

Today Rea seems to have developed a cough, so it will be another sick week probably.
