Inspiration

Just because. =)

Snow Queen

Our Snow Queen received a fabulous sleigh and reindeer underneath the tree! It was an exciting time for Her Highness.

Have you seen Molly's blog before? It feels absolutely magical. Her beeswax acorns are first on my list for crafting when we start up our morning lessons again!

Star Boy

Speaking of which, here is a picture of my Big Kid in his Star Boy hat for St. Lucia's day! Which I know was over two weeks ago, but apparently I'm moving rather slowly as far as uploading and editing pictures these days.

Long Winter's Nap

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.
Albert Camus


Sleep

There is nothing like being all tuckered out after a nice, satisfying week of friends and family.

Wishing you a belated Merry Solstice!

Cheer

A preview of our holiday card, executed and designed by myself, and finally ordered last night!

Advent

How is it December? This season of our life just seems to be flying by, without even a word or thought to acknowledge its passing.

Three Months

My smallest boy is now three months old. I can scarcely believe it. It amazes me how much of his personality is already completely formed. I couldn't ask for a sweeter, more even-tempered third child.

November

My girl is almost two and she is definitely enjoying her freedom as the middle child and only other female. "Boys!" is one of her favorite exclamations, dare I say stated with quite a bit disdain. Oh, my dear. You have no idea.

November

Liam is very excited about the holidays. We are doing our advent activities with our morning home school work, in addition to two advent calendars. Since we celebrate St. Nick's Day, the Winter Solstice, and Christmas, we have quite a full month ahead of us! This weekend, we have a Holiday Faire to attend at the Cincinnati Waldorf School. I am so excited for him since this will be his first experience at the Waldorf school--the only school we would seriously consider if we decide homeschooling is not right for us.

This week is full of ornament making, holiday book reading, some baking and definitely a lot of singing. How about another round of "Deck the Halls" for everyone?

Thankful

leaves

There is nothing like hearing "I am thankful for Mommy" at a fabulous dinner table full of friends and family. I am thankful for you too, my dear boy.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween

We had a wonderful time tonight--not trick or treating, per se, but instead at an old fashioned All Hallow's Eve bonfire extravaganza! We had treat stations for all the kids to go around and fill up their small baskets and bags, caramel apples, popcorn balls, a spooky woods walk, hay rides and lots and lots of fun in the mud.

Happy Halloween

Earlier this morning we made our farmers' market trip and loaded up on lots of yummy fall veggies, all in costume. Isla is having a hard time right now and is not the most cooperative subject when it comes to anything other than completely candid photos. But! She's really cute so we forgive her.

Happy Halloween
