January 2020

I am really liking the weather this winter- especially since I don't really like snow.

Shekinah doesn't often get too much help playing in the snow, but Zeke 

challenged her to run around in the front yard in bare feet like the older boys used to do.

Such a screaming and shrieking!

This is a tradition that will pass too soon.

When these grands come for supper, they like to "watch something"

just before they go home. But you can't "watch something" without cups of

chocolate milk.

And they still each use a sippy cup.

It is very difficult to memorize facts in which you have no interest.

States and capitols , multiplication, and random facts about old dead guys aka history are 

very low on the interest index. Now the dress I talked about last week,

the baby we met at church and the snack I forgot to get....those are important facts.

So I dug out the old wooden puzzle that her biggest brother used

and probably others before him. Only Illinois was missing so I made a piece from leather.

The map is reversible with the world on the reverse side.  USSR rules a large chunk of the world.

It was produced in 1975, so that explains it.

QOTD: Parker to his mommy, talking about grandmas

Mommy: "So how do you get to be a grandma?"

Parker:"Well first you need to get pretty old....thenyouhavetobenicerthanmommy"

OOH Parker!
