Off track fun

The boys were off track for four weeks this time, and unfortunately it was one week too long... But, we still had a pretty good time. One thing we did is borrow a CD of the States and Capitols of the US and we have memorized quite a bit. We also borrowed a puzzle and game and have had lots of fun learning about the US. We also stayed busy with Thanksgiving crafts, the trip to Idaho, and preparing for Christmas.Luckily it snowed and the boys played outside quite a bit. Brennan loves it outside and Elise was very jealous, so I set her out there and she loved it. Too bad her snowsuit didn't let her crawl very well... She would have been in the snow fort with her brothers.

We make a gingerbread house every year, but this year I got a kit that has five houses so each kid could make their own. They made them and then promptly ate them.

Now we are in full swing of Christmas activities. Brennan keeps saying that it is his birthday coming up and he is having a Christmas birthday. He also gets mad if people say it is not Christmas. To him, Christmas is a long time--not just one day. Which is great. But won't he be suprised and happy that morning...
