Blog Slacking & A Flashback

Things have been a little slow here lately at MCS, well, because things at home are NOT slow these days! The baby and I have been fighting a funky cold that came hand-in-hand with an unfathomable amount of snot and scratchy throats. I'm pretty sure that I've drank a gallon of hot tea in just the last 24 hours alone, and it's not showing any sign of letting up anytime soon.

My oldest switched schools last week to a charter school that we had been on the waiting list for since he was 3, and we're totally loving it (except for the part where I drive him 24 miles each day instead of the 5 I was driving before!). The fact that he's in school for 2 hours longer each day gives me a much better routine and flow to our day - Simon can now nap when he wants to vs when I need him to, and Sutton and I have more time to focus on our homeschool activities.  

We've been busy crafting up all sorts of holiday goodies that aren't quite ready to be debuted yet for fear that the gift recipients will have the surprise ruined. We've been opening books from our book basket every evening, and just trying to slow down and enjoy the holiday season because it always seems to be over before I know it.

So, I'll leave you with this oldie-but-goodie flashback from last year:

The tag reads:

These aren't just five snowmen,

As anyone can see.

I made them with my hand,

Which is a part of me.

Now each year when you trim the tree

You can look back and recall

Christmas of 2010

When my hand was just this small!

Love, Sutton

 

Hope you're having a happy holiday season!
