Weekly Recap: With Thanksgiving

Last week we swallowed the broken computer idea and ordered a new one. The current one is still slow, occasionally freezes, and some days needs a second try to start up. So we’re hoping it hangs on while the new one is built!

Monday our history lesson was about reformers during the Industrial Revolution time period. We went grocery shopping for last minute Thanksgiving items.

Tuesday our literature lesson was about short stories from General Conference, specifically sharks and the barrier, and spiritual crocodiles. We also did a science lesson on blood, to make up for the one we missed last week. Our 36 pound dog broke another cable, this one was called The Beast and for dogs up to 125 lbs. This one lasted 6 months. She can’t be loose in the yard when she’s unsupervised, so that’s why we have a tie out, and she’s not even on it all day!

Weekly Recap: Thanksgiving Week

Last weekend was busy but fun.  We had lots to do on Saturday, and I got to try the Thanksgiving waffle from Waffle Love!  Then a good friend I haven't seen in a while showed up on my doorstep.  That was a wonderful surprise!  Sunday my children got to do their Primary Program again at the assisted living home nearby.

Instagram catchup!

Have you heard of Waffle Love?  They have one store open and more in the works, but they also have 4 trucks that roam around serving dessert disguised as breakfast.  If you follow them on Instagram you can find their daily schedules.  The truck just happened to be stopped nearby us one day so we had to try it out.  SO GOOD!

Real life school here!  Various dress-ups, dolls, laundry, etc.

A trip to Ikea in which we had to peruse their new games, instruments, dress-ups, and one child practiced her mad hula hooping skills.

Winter is upon us, we've got a little snow!  Last week we made vitamin C pastilles, and you can see the elderberry tincture in the background.  This stuff will help our immune systems.

Christmas came early for me!  The control panel on our range finally went out, after a year of strange behavior.  I got a new range just days before Thanksgiving.  Not an expense I wanted this time of year but I am glad to have a dependable oven again.  What a great time to break it in! 

His and Hers pies.  Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 

My husband's pie, coconut cream.

My pie, cherry.
