Advent Activities: Day 8

I am sooooooooo tired. Seriously, I can hardly see to type. This morning we finally made it to the post office, then, since my philosophy is that getting out the door is 1/2 the work, we ran to Old Navy, Target, and Wal Mart. I don't know how the rest of the world feels, but for me, 4 stops is a lot with two small kids. Then home, naps (very short, short, naps), more outdoor play in the snow, school time, get dinner in, we made our first batch of homemade playdoh (which I will share more about later!), treatments, baths, and finally, thankfully, bedtime! Now it's 8:30 and I'm ready for bed. Is that sad?? Oh well! We had a good day, but it's early to bed for me tonight.

Today we finished reading in Luke, Chapter 1. We read how Jesus was coming to bring light to those who were in darkness. The section we read today was a little beyond Naomi so we didn't have much discussion about it. That's fine, I feel exposure is still important!

Naomi making a sun ornament today to signify that Jesus is the light.

It has become Naomi's favorite part of the day to show Daddy her ornament when he gets home, and then hang it in the foyer. I will see her often during the day, just standing in the foyer and admiring her ornaments. I love it!

No post is really complete without a picture of my sweet boy. I love how cute he looks in his long underwear after playing outside in the snow.
