Goodbye 2014!

Its been a great year, but I am looking forward to 2015. We have had a nice quiet family night at home, with the exception of Chiggie who had plans with friends.  I have some goals for this year that I will share soon!

More Organizing

Again, I should have taken before pictures, but I forgot. I cleaned and organized both our dresser and the desk area in the master bedroom. This area is a bit if a nightmare because it is really very easy to stack papers here and worry about the later. For that reason, I filed papers in a simple way so it will/should be fairly maintainable. As far as the dresser goes, that was more about just cleaning off the junk. I am feeling pretty good, and it's not even 2015 yet!

The School Room

We are plugging right along with our projects. I really should have taken a picture first, but I forgot. We set up our old desktop for the kids to use as a word processor, school games, and also typing practice. I have learned over the years that school goes much smoother if everyone had a task to complete, and this adds a new station to occupy those who are waiting for me to help them.

A Fresh Start

Christmas is officially over. We always take everything down before the first so we can have a fresh start to the new year. This was a little difficult this year because of the large amounts of snow and extreme temperatures we have been having, but we got it done.

At first, everything looked really different and most bare, but I think we are adjusting to it now and it actually feels less cluttered!

The kids are really enjoying playing with their new toys and have very much enjoyed their break.  One of my goals for 2015 is to get even more organized than we already are so we have spent the last couple of days working on that. I will update with pictures as projects get completed.

A Very Merry Christmas

Just a Few More Days!

It's been vey busy around here these last few days.  We've been swimming, baking, wrapping, Christmas movie watching, all along with the normal everyday things like laundry and cleaning. 

The kids are counting down the days now!

Sunday School and the Elf

Tea and Midge made these adorable baby Jesus cupcakes in Sunday School today. I love them, and they were proud.

Our time with Clarence is winding down. He had definitely kept is all entertained this season!
