A Hodge Podge of Sorts

Warning: A rambling post of the last few days.

A couple days ago this was my morning. A little foot soak, some Christmas music and a cup of hot coffee while making another hat.

The little ones have been playing a lot of air hockey lately, and the games are not always friendly. They are entirely too competitive a bit like the rest of us.


We got about six inches of fluff one night.

Where's Nick's car?

Then it got cold. It was about -20 when Nick, Elijah and I went to watch a high school game. I love when I get some good action shots. Only one in five are worth keeping!


Yesterday Emily went to visit Debbi. It was really cold out. This is the view driving down Chena Ridge.


It was -40 at Grandma's house. Why am I shopping at these temperatures? Because I procrastinated!

Me. Alone in a 15-passenger van. So quiet. Oh, have I mentioned that they totalled my Excursion? Apparently there is too much frame damage to justify the repairs. I still can't believe I'm not getting my truck back. I'll drive the van until we decide what to get next. Every where I went it was so busy. Everyone leaves their cars running in these temperatures.

Today it was a heat wave when I stepped outside! We went from extreme cold to +8 at my house. I'm pretty sure it was warmer later in the day. The kids went out to play. Check out those rosy cheeks.

In between finals, drivings kids to school, picking them up, taking them skateboarding, driving girlfriends home, going to basketball games, shopping, cooking, cleaning, etc. I've been knitting and sewing for Christmas. I wish I had more time! Yes, those hats are long on purpose. It is a request. The others are pajamas.

Tonight we watched the second Transformers movie. Sure has their attention!

Of course, I can't just sit and watch a movie so I made more hats.

So much to do before Christmas. Maybe after the holidays I'll be able to post more regularly with some photos of what we do and where we live. Or not.

I hope everyone is enjoying this magical time of year.
