Life is busy

We are in the middle of winter.  It finally snowed last Thursday and it looks like winter.
The kids are playing in the snow with the Tonka trucks.  My older son is snow blowing.
They are playing in the snow with the dog and playing football. Their Dad will not play
because it is to cold.  He pulled a muscle the last time he played with them in the cold.

I have decided that it is time to get back to what makes me happy.  So we have
started drawing again and I have been knitting. The kids put my picture on the frig
because they think it is good.  I have made 8 knitted/ and crocheted wash clothes.
Two more wash clothes and I will send them to my sister in law. Then I will finish
the sweater I started last year.   I am reading a book called  Knit with Love by
Lisa Bogart.  If you like to knit,  give it a try.

So what are you doing with your winter to relax and keep your kids happy.
Keep warm.

Boy, It is cold outside.. What to do?

What do you do when it is cold outside?  I am not talking about 40F or 20F  I am talking 0F
and wind blowing...   Well here today  the public school doesn 't have school so my high schooler
is at home with the homeschooled kids.

I told them that they have to play games that use math, religion and history skills in them.
This morning they are playing the card game Nickels, which is basically a sequencing game.
They also, came up with the point is that they are not to cheat or fight for Religion.  So far,
it is working.  Later, they will be making homemade pizza for home ec and then 2 of the kids
will be cleaning a house with me.  I told them, if I have to do anything over or they fight, they
will not get the pay we agreed upon. My other child will stay home with the 7 year old and
play games and read books.  It is to cold for them to be outside when I am not home.
They could be frozen before is get home if something should happen.

Thank goodness we have L'Bri  hand and body cream and body butter to keep our skin from
drying out and the aloe as the first ingredients is so healing.

So what do you do when it is to cold to step outside unless you have to?  Let me know and I
will send you a sample hand and body lotion.  Take care, keep warm.
