Kinda in Survival Mode

Okay, so the time between Thanksgiving Break and Christmas Break is a bit…dicey. It’s a busy time at school with dress-up days, concerts, grading, tests, and tying up loose ends before Christmas. Abigail had her school’s Winter Wonderland event, I went to a fun Relief Society book exchange, Paul got covid (luckily the rest of us did not and he has made a full recovery), and Joseph has been practicing for his winter concert which is this week. It’s been a busy time for sure! We’ve got one more week before having two blissful weeks off. Hooray!

Showing off her interchangeable Minnie Mouse sweatshirt (the sequins flip back and forth so Minnie is either black, white, and red or black, white, and silver).
The book exchange was white elephant-style, so people could steal books. Luckily, nobody stole mine. It’s really intriguing and I actually want to sit down and read it, even though non-fiction is not usually what I reach for first.
We’ve had dress up days all of December (and still have one more week to go). Recently, my phone added a feature for the camera where if you put it in front-facing, you can back up, hold up your palm, wait for the camera to recognize it, and then it will set a three second timer so you can take a selfie without having to hold the phone. This was my test shot (sporting my Grinch sweater and earrings for red and green day). Pretty cool!

Throwing “snowballs” (they were plush). I like her strategy: gather up as many as you can so you have a full arsenal and the enemy…doesn’t.
So…the fake snow machine. There was actually quite a breeze blowing, so it ended up more like a blizzard, but Abigail actually loved it.
We went to Bass Pros to take a picture with Santa and Paul was helping Abigail practice shooting.
I’m pretty sure I have at least one picture (if not more) of him doing this same thing with Joseph.

  1. Nonfiction is my first choice! The blizzard looks wonderful! The selfie worked well. You deserve the two weeks off, you work so hard.
