As much as I hate to say it, I think I may be in a season of blog neglect.
I have been sucked into the beast that is a house remodel. Nothing really huge. But huge stuff for us. Like new molding, new windows, new interior doors, and new paint on anything that will stand still. All kinds of things that will update the space even more and perhaps bring up the value of the house a little bit as well. I have moved on from the kitchen and into the living room which I painted, by myself, over the past two days. It looks AMAZING! Now I am a painting monster.
I also have a crazy toddler! At 21 months, Luke is a little nuts. As we speak I am letting him rip up my mail so I can get this post finished. 
It is hard to keep up with him. Plus, he doesn’t sleep anymore. After he got so sick in October he has taken to this habit of waking 2 - 3 times per night… usually for about an hour. Don and I have been taking shifts throughout the nights to try to get him to go back down. We have even done some tough love type stuff (we are gentle/natural parents by habit) and nothing has worked so far.
Basically, we are a very tired family right now.
School is going great though! That last post about my crazy school schedule has held up for another couple weeks. We are into our unit study on the Polar Bear and I just love how much we are getting done! Our last lesson on the fox has left is marks and the kids ‘play’ fox quite often, using words like "vixen” and “omnivore”. When their play reinforces our lessons I feel it’s a sign I am doing something right.
The weather has changed yet again and it’s COLD outside! Frost is on the leaves most mornings, although it is gone by early afternoon. I used my last tomato and onion from the garden last week. It makes me a little sad that they didn’t even last until Christmas. Must plant more next year! We are on the last of the tomato sauce as well.
Once again, I am trying to do a handcrafted holiday. I am looking over crafts and pins to see what I can make my nearest and dearest to make them feel loved and not break the pocketbook. I plan on sharing my finds here if I can. Some of the kids now read my blog, so that isn’t as easy as it once was.
There is so much more going on, and I am hoping to fill you all in soon. But for now, I hope you all are doing well and want to send my very biggest blessings to each of you for the start of the holidays!
