This week is busy. Tons to do and then we start our traveling this weekend, so I have lots I really must get done. No time to waste.....well, you know how it goes. Here is a recap of my day yesterday:
To-do list:
1. Finish my last 2 embroidery projects for Christmas. This is where the hang up began. Not a good start. My thread kept breaking. So I changed my needle. I have been embroidering tons so I have gone through the needles. Nope not it. Then I cleaned the bobbin area, changed the bobbin, recleaned the bobbin area, tried a new needle,....you get the picture. I spent all morning on #1. and it is still not done.
2. Clean kitchen because I did not last night because I was downloading the patterns I needed for my embroidery. Not done, see number 1.
3. Laundry. Not done, see #1.
4. Take Sarah to school. Late, see #1.
5. Help at Elijah's school. Late, see #1--forgot to eat so had to stop and get a snack.
6. Pick up kids. Done-ontime, well I was already at the school!!
This was just my list until 3pm, then I just threw out the list and started over!!
Things not on my list:
1. Clean up all of my scrapbook stuff because while I was working on #1, Sarah got the baby gate down and took all of my stuff out and spread them all over the playroom. So not good.
2. Find Sarah's shoes. Boy can those shoes hide!
3. Clean up the trash that Sarah has spread over the kitchen while I was looking for shoes. Now I need to add mopping to my to do list.
4. Count to 10, no make that 100. I was pretty upset by this point and it was only 10:30am.
Praying today goes better, and no #1 is still not complete.
Elijah's class had brunch for their party. I was not sure about this, since Elijah is not a big breakfast food eater. He ate some, mostly cinnamon rolls and fruit.
Of course there was candy also, so he took in his sugar intake for the year!!! 
And no party would be complete without a visit from Santa!!
well, a dusting, but to a six year old it was a big snow storm. He was up at 6:30 dressed and outside in the snow. Way too early for his elderly parents!!! Sarah got up at 7 and was very intrigued by the white stuff. She has never been out in the snow. She has always been sick when it snowed. She was not sure about the snow, but had fun playing. Yep, the snow suit is way to small, but you can not find them for toddlers and she does not keep her body temperture up. I need to find a ski suit for her. 
The kids really liked this. The turkeys are so cute. 
Today at the library Sarah was suppose to make gingerbread houses, but it is cold and raining here and I just don't think she is well enough to go. I know they will be cute. Our library does so many neat things. In fact, the town as a whole has tons of family activities. I am really loving living in a small rural area.
