Monday: I don't know who takes all these sunset pictures; I just find them when I'm uploading pictures. I do know that we're all going to miss our Carolina sunsets.
We've had a record breaking warm December.
It was nice for me because the kids played outside a lot while I packed.
This day was particularly warm and breezy. The little girls made beds for their dolls in the leaves that were falling. By the end of the day almost all the leaves were off our Japanese maple tree. They were beautiful all over the ground.
Madalyn faithfully doing her school while the other kids were outside building a fort all day.
They used some boards and then a window screen and piled it with leaves to make shingles for their roof. It rained on and off that day and everytime the rain started they ran under their screen roof to test it's rainproofness. If they packed enough leaves on it they were kept pretty dry, but most of the time the breeze blew the leaves off and they got rained on. They had a lot of fun and I loved seeing them work and play together all day. They ran in and out of the house all day doing school and then checking out their fort when it started to sprinkle.
Thursday: The chore was to powerwash the front walk and the driveway. When I came out to run to the store this is what I found. I nearly panicked thinking, "What if the powerwasher broke or the neighbors wanted it back?" (It was borrowed) "This is how we'd leave our house for the next family to live here." So far the powerwashing had taken a week since we only had spurts of time between thunderstorms. And we were doing the whole house and steps too. So with all the starting and stopping I was afraid we wouldn't be able to finish the driveway, but after a few days, they eventually did. At least they were having fun.
Random pictures of Anderson during a meal.
Saturday: Kylie staining the new shed door Nathan and his dad built.
Samuel's first haircut. Here are the before pictures. I guess I forgot the after pictures. You'll just have to notice him in the following pictures. I didn't do a very good job, but I think I know how to do it better next time. :)
Good bye baby curls.
Makenna's first real hair cut too.
Samuel and Anderson the last Sunday before Christmas.
Two years ago I took cute pictures of Kaitlyn, Makenna, and Samuel wearing this little red vest outfit. So the kids wanted me to take it another with these 4 kids.
The picture from 2 years ago.
Alexis and Anderson
Someone made a temple with playdoh someone else brought home from primary.
I'm thinking Madalyn made the temple with Tom's playdoh, but nobody is here to confirm.
