Christmas Fun

We had a delightFULL weekend! Praise God for quieted coughs enough to enjoy them...Our German Kindergarten class was fun with a visit from St. Nicolas (still working on those pictures). We headed over to the Winter Fest in Tinley with reindeer, Mrs. Claus, cookie decorating, sleigh rides & so much more. Here are some captured memories to share as we celebrate the season. Not enough room in one Smilebox to hold them all....

PS: Don't forget to vote for Ms. Gracie Cakes photos in the Christmas Moments & Scared of Santa contests. Those with all their Christmas shopping finished can vote every day. :o)

The Face of Grace

Delighted with her new pipe cleaner glasses made at the "playplace", Gracie wore them to preschool then next day. Her teachers & classmates were so wowed by the cool specs, the entire class made them. They even made a pair for the class pumpkin...he's hiding in there somewhere.

How fun! Grace was so proud of herself..."That was my idea, Mom." Kudos to those teachers for capturing a "teachable" moment and incorporating the kids interests into their day!

The forecast today is for a balmy 89 degrees...The beach bag is packed (always) and includes my study materials for an exam on Monday. After we pick up our swim buddy, we are beach bound. We might do a bit of apple picking on the way....we'll see. That seems rather Fall-ish and did I say the temp was near 90 degrees??

Bis spater~~ and speaking of Deutsch (bis spater=until later)

Gracie had her 1st day of German Kindergarten last week. It's one day a week, just a couple of hours but total immersion in Deutsch. Yeah! Come to find out, mom speaks enough German to help out in the classroom. Thus, I'm learning as well. This is GREAT!

Have a good one~ Gotta get the girl ready to play today. Hey...are you praying for a harvest amoung Muslims? Thanks so much for joining your's with mine....Until the whole world knows
