Christmas is coming!

We have 3 cool snowboarders, 1 sugar plum fairy, and 1 bob the builder boy. Wer' sure to have a white Christmas, it snows alot. It is so pretty. The other day the sun was shinning on the snow falling off the trees. It was beautiful.
Then the other night we all decided to go play in the snow.We got into a snow throwing fight while Matthew just sat there eating it.
Abby was showing the boys up on the snow board, she has great balance.And Benny found some kids ski's at the Goodwill and he loves them. He figured out the need for poles though so he grabbed some sticks and off he went. I'm proud of him.He's learning resillience! He's getting back into trains again too. But now he has to share with Abby and Matthew, they really play together well, (most of the time).
We just finished making Creation books. The kids each painted a picture for each day of Creation and wrote down the Scripture that goes with it. We have learned so much, you think you know the Story of Creation, but wow, we learned about who we are because of what God has made and how He has a special plan for us all. I think they really enjoed it. It took alot longer than I thought it would though. I also have been praying for good books for them to build their character. I know the Lord led us to this sale where I found an unabridged Websters Dictionary, a leather Thesoras, "The Book of Virtues" for children and Benny bought a tiny set of Emily Dickenson, Poe, Shakespear, and one other I cant remember, He has started to write his own stories now in a little note book, wow Praise God right!
