Our First Snowfall

This is what we woke up to on the 29th. The kids had fun throwing snowballs and shoveling our's and the neighbor's sidewalks. It snowed most of the day and through the night. It was so pretty when I got up on the 30th, I had to take more pictures.

Its all melted for now though. That's okay, I really wasn't ready for winter weather, yet.

ISN'T IT GREAT TO KNOW WHO IS REALLY IN CHARGE

Betsy McCall

I was surfing the internet looking for paper dolls to print for Noelle and stumbled upon her.

Betsy McCall was introduced in 1951 and has many looks through the years of McCall magazine.

Too cute!

Cleaning and Rearranging

Taking care of a small house with four people and a dog can become interesting. I'm going through a period of wanting to de-clutter, clean, and rearrange. I also want to repaint a lot of our rooms. All the sudden I'm feeling ambitious :)

My first task is redoing our "library". So far, I have both the old computers set up side by side on a table we bought when we started homeschooling. Above the computers I installed two very large shelves for more storage. There are many other bookshelves that I have to redo in that room but I'll get to them later.

Noelle and I made a spot on the opposite side of the room for her desk that Cindy gave her. She loves to draw and write so this gives her a spot she can leave and come back to without having to clean up. She was forever covering every horizontal space with her papers, then needing to clear it for meals or for others to use that particular spot. She is quite happy with this new set-up and so am I.

I'm in the process of cleaning out and redoing the shelves in the one large closet in my craft/sewing/reading room. This will take a while ;) Why do I save things only to throw them away a year or two later without having used them? I think I'm finding it easier to let paper things go since I can probably find it, when I do need it, on the internet.

Back to work..........

Twilight

I've read the first book in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Series and really enjoyed it. I don't usually get into vampires but its a very creative story. Vampires sparkle in the sun? Interesting.

I don't have the cash to buy the books so I have to rely on my local library. I have New Moon on reserve and it was supposed to be back on the 29th, its still out and I am getting impatient.........

I saw the Twilight movie trailer and well, I don't think I'll be seeing it. Once I have read a book, I don't usually like the "creative license" of the movie. I know it doesn't matter what I think but there it is.
