Quite the Juggling Act

Five-year-old Elijah is becoming quite the juggler. He has managed 27 catches...very good...especially for a child his age. He entertained us tonight while Goosey (Woody) and I were next door keeping an eye on all seven children. It can be quite the three-ringed circus over there at times. Tonight Elijah juggled bean bags and Esther juggled rings. Elijah said that he is practicing and trying to get to 30 catches and then he will be ready to try juggling rings. Woody did his usual Saturday routine...library and Walmart. I got up and started in on undecorating and have made a bit more of a dent in that monumental job...Christmas things are being put away and every-day things are being put out again. I am ready for this ordeal to end...but at the moment the end really isn't in sight. Woody walked four miles this afternoon despite it being rather cold...especially factoring in the wind chill. We did have a light dusting of snow over night. I woke up in the middle of the night and checked and sure enough our garden had a covering of snow and the car had some on it as well, but that was it (see photo below). We went next door after supper and have just returned. We managed to get them all into pajamas and some stories read before their parents returned. Nathan and Kathy's Sunday School class had an "after-Christmas" Christmas party.
