Ponderings In The Field of Grace

What a day it was yesterday. We were so busy, and I didn’t even leave the house!

I’ve been working on being more consistent with school, so we really knocked it out yesterday. Everyone was busy catching up on projects, working on papers, and doing their workbooks. The Professor got a 100 on his math chapter test and a 93 on his grammar test. I was so proud of him. The grammar tests are usually very difficult for him, so seeing him do so well really was fantastic!

After school the kids pulled out my old Disney Trivial Pursuit game. They have been having a blast playing it. I cracked up when Sports Guy was reading a card and said, “Mom, who is this Springsteen guy they are asking about?”

While they were doing that I was working on a sewing project. I’ve been messing around with something for the last couple of weeks. I even made a stocking for Lil Princess. It wasn’t the greatest, but it turned out alright.

Once The Knight got home we settled in for a movie night again. Sports Guy and Lil Guy wanted to watch Phineas and Ferb’s Christmas Vacation Special while everyone else was pretty much glued to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. We got the Blu-Ray and I have got to say the movie and all the special features are awesome! One of these days I’m going to have a Harry Potter marathon and watch all the movies in either a weekend or a week.  The sneak peek at The Deathly Hallows Pt. 1 was exciting. We were shouting, “Ooo, that’s a scene from…”I swear I think The Knight and I were worse than the kids!

As you can probably expect things have been busy around here lately. We have been taking our time getting ready for Christmas and are enjoying hanging out with each other, for the most part anyway! The kids had friends over for the weekend which was great. We played, watched Christmas movies, colored in coloring books, played games on the computer, baked cupcakes, and cut down our Christmas tree. Everyone seemed to have a blast! The Professor then topped it all off by playing Lazer Tag with his journey group at church. While the Knight and I enjoyed a quiet dinner at Applebee’s.

We’re planning on working on the tree a little more tonight, and we’ve begun the Christmas clean-up for the house. So there is plenty to do. we’ve only got seven more days of school left before Christmas break. Everyone is counting down.

Hope you are enjoying this time of year as much as we are! Merry Christmas!
