Early December

Jed kicked off December with head lice.  I was called down to the nurses office one afternoon to see him and about 3 of his classmates proclaiming that they had bugs in their hair.  I took him home to treat him with olive oil that evening.  Kyle was in Chicago for work (lucky guy).  I also treated my hair and Evangeline's hair.  Jed was not at all happy about having his head wrapped in Saran Wrap and had a big cry fest about it until he discovered that Saran Wrap wasn't foil.  Once he realized that he was fine.  He was treated with Nix the next day and got a clean bill of health from Nurse Dana and was able to return to school.  Thankfully Evangeline didn't ever have it and I didn't either.  We got ice cream that night...we all needed it. 

Jed was so excited to be in a parade!  He was on the church float and was very proud of the peppermint he made for the display.  It was absolutely freezing that night. 

Pickles LOVES the Christmas tree....

Jed and his friend, Lucy, at church....

I went to Candy Canes on Main in Casey with Colleen and Ainslee.  It was a fun way to spend a Saturday morning.  

The kid's Christmas excitement is always thru the roof!!  (Not gonna lie, us parents get pretty excited too.)

I have always hidden felt stars with a piece of candy and a scripture verse inside, but I was only really good about keeping up with it for a week or so.  This year we did these tiny houses and the kids loved them.

School Holiday Fun

South School is a really exciting place around the holidays!  We had different dress up days all the week leading up to Christmas break.  Here we are on holiday accessory day!  One day the week leading up to break, our principal, Mrs. Morgan found me in the hallway and told me I needed to drop everything and report to the office.  When I got there I found the rest of the 1st grade teachers there too!  She told us she was taking us on a little getaway.  We boarded the school's short bus where Christmas music was blaring and were driven to McDonalds to get whatever drink we wanted.  While we were gone she had aides covering our classrooms.  It was such a fun surprise.  She told us how much she appreciates all we have done during this super challenging school year, and this was just a little something special.  Evangeline participated in the locker decorating contest.  She had such fun bringing her supplies and getting it done during h...

Cozy at Home

Snow day painting...dreaming of all the flowers in my garden....I have a bunch of old frames so I'm putting a collage of my painted flowers in my bathroom.  It's a cheery touch.  I pulled out some of my old cozy knits I did years ago.  Evangeline loved them!  Pickles did too.  Jed had to join in the fun sporting a toddler sweater...I'm glad they both appreciate those kinds of things...

Down Time

Evangeline was chomping at the bit to use some of her money to go buy a case for her new phone.  We went to TH to look around and then made a stop at Starbucks.  Evangeline felt like a big kid.  We had a fun girls outing.  She wanted to sit inside Starbucks and cuddle on a couch drinking our beverages together.  It was a special moment for me too.  This girl is growing up into such a delightful young lady.   We tried real hard to give our money to an actual shop to purchase the case, but no one had anything that would work.  We ended up resorting to Amazon.  She was really pleased when her sparkly pink case with a heart shaped pop socket arrived in the mail.  The rest of the week was spent lounging around doing all the things we love to do at home.  My nephew's, Cale and Liam came for a sleepover.  We all had so much fun with them!  Jed was of course in his happy place with Cale there to play with.  Evangeline an...
