Homeschooling Adventures - Baby on the way = delay, delay, delay

Proverbs 17:22 - A merry heart doeth good [like] a medicine...

Well, hello there!  Yes, it's been a while and no I've not been away - well not physically that is.  Mentally, I've been skinny, on some beach, not feeling like puke.  Welp, pregnancy is what it has always been for me, so I guess I can say that I've been preoccupied with sick spells of various kinds.  I'M BACK!  Sorta.  Anywho, I'm back for now to squeeze in a little belated typie.

A really, really late Christmas post.

I found a great/funny/interesting blogger http://sarahsworld-sarahsworld.blogspot.com/.  She is a fellow homeschooler that loves to write about the quirks of family life among other things.  After I read some of her posts I can really say, "Whew, it's not just me."  Anyway, she wanted to know if some of her blog friends would like to do a Christmas ornament exchange.  I quickly agreed.  Sounded fun.  Was fun!  It was a great idea and the girls and I decided to participate.  The fact that she and her family were located in a different part of the country made it even more interesting.  It turned out to be a small geography lesson for my kingergartener.

Here's the problem.  I asked hubby to take a photo with his cool picture taking iphone.  Seriously, I think it takes better pictures than our family camera.  He did, but somehow between then, sickness, and now, I've been unable to locate the picture of Sarah's ornament that she sent us.  It was ADORABLE.  My daughter even said she thought it looked like herself.  It was a sweet little girl dressed up for some snowplay.  We loved it and my littlest girl placed it right on the front side of the tree!  When I locate our photo, I'll post it!  I ended up finding a whitewashed church ornament.  It just struck me and I sent it on over.

Thanks for the great idea Sarah!!!
