Oh how I love having a break at this time of year. The week before break always feels rushed and chaotic and somehow makes these days that we can sleep in (as much sleeping in as one does with a toddler) and be a little lazy (ditto) feel that much more indulgent.
The past couple of months have been great – fast and furious as always.
Halloween came and went. Bill and Vera created a masterpiece out of our pumpkin.
Our daycare was closed during the month of November, so we all took turns spending a day here or there watching the kiddos. I loved my days with these sweet little ones (and we worked hard to wear each other out!) We were so fortunate that our families pitched in and helped avoid a mini childcare crisis.
The weather has been unusual this winter, and we’ve taken advantage of the nice days by getting outside to slide down the hill, walk on the ice, ski, and fly.
I’m working to perfect the art of lefse making. I’m years away from perfection, but my batches have been pretty good.
We continue to enjoy time with the cousins. Vera begs to go to Libby’s every day, and she loves to play with her big cousins, too.
Thanksgiving was spent at the Glass’s house. We had a wonderful meal and a great evening. There’s surely more fun to come in the upcoming days and weeks.
