Can you smell it? Our house smelled wonderful today as Woody and Elijah made Chex Mix. Yum! It's hard to resist! I had school this morning with Elijah, Esther, Joy, and Abigail. After Elijah finished with school, he became Goosey's (Woody's) special Chex Mix helper. He was great at breaking pretzels and pouring measuring cups of cereal into the roasting pan. Esther has started sewing lessons...she is learning how to sew on buttons. She is very excited and doing a great job. Yesterday she sewed on a two-hole button and today tried her hand at a four-hole button. Joy finished a Christmas present that she has been working on and we even found a gift bag and wrapped it. Abigail sewed some more on her apron. I have worked on Christmas ornaments again today...but finally had to give in and take the machine in to be cleaned and perhaps tweaked...something just isn't right. It never seems to fail that when you really need something to work, it doesn't! Guess that is Murphy's Law! I came home and have been watching White Christmas and putting away the spools of thread that I had out for the ornaments that I have managed to make. Woody walked to the library this afternoon and then on to a nearby grocery store for some apples. Then this evening the naval oranges were delivered that we had ordered from the Tullahoma High School Band. So we are well supplied with fruit at the moment. Fruit...chex mix...what more could one ask for at this time of the year?!? 'Tis the Season!
