It's Christmas!!!

Tomorrow, we are having our Homeschool Christmas party with the grandparents! The kids are all excited! They help make setting cards tonight. Tomorrow they will decorate cakes. We have chosen to do individual little cakes for each person because we are wanting to also remember that Christ came during this season individually for each of us! So... they will be hard at work in the morning! :) We are having bread bowels with ham and cheese soup for lunch! Mmm!!!! All going to be a great time! The kids have practiced hard on a little program for them as well! Can't wait! :)

Ho ho ho!!!!

We are off to the Winchester library today for a Christmas party with Santa! We made our little peanut butter sandwiches this morning to share! The kids are REALLY excited! I appreciate all the activities that the Winchester library offers. I am not sure I have ever seen a library do so well with activities for kids1 I love it!!

We did have a tricky spot last night. Miss Abby says to us "So, i didn't tell santa what I want for Christmas, so that means santa won't know what to bring. Does he really bring stuff?" Ug! She's a smart little cookie. So we explained the fun of santa and she said "I'm glad to know the truth!" I don' tknow what to do with her! Stinker butt! Anyways, she is still very excited about Santa and I think a bit releaved that he doesn't come to our house. She's looking forward to giving him a GREAT BIG hug today! :)

Have a great day every one!!!

Fun day...

Well, we have eased up on the books and have focused in on a lot of Christmas activities, learning to cook, etc etc... we are actually ahead of schedule on school work... so this is a perfect time to work on the fun Christmas stuff! The kids have been having a blast with it! We made some surprise gifts tonight to give the grandparents for our homeschooling Christmas "program" this weekend. The kids were ecstatic about it! They crack me up! I love watching them work. Today, we continued our fun with a treat of a little party at the chocolate moose! The kids had a ball! This is their picture above from while we were there. I think those are happy faces!! :) Have a great night every one!

so excited!!!!!

My lil man became a big boy today!!!! He has done it! He acheaved going pee pee in the potty today!!! He was so excited! When he started going his eyes got huge and he yells "I did it! It came out!" He was so proud! We had a big celebration and called every one in the family!!! Way to go little man! Way to go!!!!! Now, we are OFFICIALLY potty training!!

The snow finally came!

Well, it is feeling a bit more like December... FINALLY! The kids were beside themselves when they got up yesterday and seen that it had snowed outside! Abby has been so wanting it to snow. She told me the other night, "It's just not fair. If it's going to be too cold to play outside than we should at least get some snow so we can have something to play in when we do get to go out!" She cracks me up!

The kids are doing really good in school. Abby is getting closer and closer to reading small words every day! I can't believe it! They do things so young these days! Joey is really starting to get into his little preschool activity sheets. He's so funny watching him process and work through it all!

On the 19th, they will be doing a little Christmas program for the grandparents. They are getting VERY excited about it! I can't wait to watch them go at it. :) We will be sure to video it and share!

This week is posing to be busy! We are excited for the holidays! The kids have tumbling on Thursday and then right after have a Christmas party to go to. Sunday, we are hoping to take the kids to the Christmas party at the skating rink in Winchester. Santa is going to be there with a treat for all the kids!! Abby is counting the moments till she gets to go!

Have a great day every one!

So, this is from halloween... we are running behind! Ha ha! Couldn't find my cord to my camera. So, now I have my pics on the computer! Abby was sully from Monsters Inc and Joey was a cow. :) They were adorable! Certainly fun to get to be out having a blast and meeting up with some of our neighbors!

got a question...

So, I feel God leading me to start a mothers group in our town. This won't be associated with any church or church function, but instead, just a complete outreach in our community. I have some ideas about what I want it to look like, things I feel God has laid on my heart... but I don't know yet what it really is going to look like...

So... if you are a young mother, or once was a young mother... what would minister to you? What would be helpful to you?

You can post here or e-mail me at mommypfohl@gmail.com

So... there it is... your turn!

Merry Christmas... It's coming!!!!

Well, we went yesterday and got our Christmas tree at Sickels tree farm! The kids had a blast. Abby was jumping up and down as they put the tree in our van! Cracked me up! The kids were so excited to get home and decorate it.

Carmel even found himself excited! He has climbed the tree three times now. I just pray that he doesn't knock it down! I had forgotten what it was to have a cat and a tree in the same house!
