They do their own when they turn 13 therefore I have no kid laundry to do any more.)<br /><br />Tidy, tidy, tidy! I walk around my house and put everything away that is out of place each morning and again before bed.<br /><br />Kitchen: Cleaned out the refrigerator, and then I set up my Noel Tablescape <br /><br />Computer: read blogs & check email<br /><br />Lunch: Leftovers<br /><br />Kitchen: Pick up the kitchen and put things away.<br />(You may have noticed I have not done any dishes except Monday. That is because it is son #2’s week to do kitchen chores. We rotate chores Kitchen, Laundry, Bathroom, Living Room, and School Room between the kids and I. Whoever is assign to that room for the week does anything and everything needed to be done in that room for the week. We have a detailed list posted on the side of the fridge for each room but mostly they just know what is expected. The detailed cleaning in each room that I am doing this week is a seasonal project I do. I don’t always require them to help but most of the time they do in some way.)<br /><br />Kitchen: Prep desserts for the Dip/Appetizer Party. Have each of my kids make a dip or appetizer. Print recipes for them. <br />Dinner: Baked Potatoes Bar<br /><br />SWAM: Students With A Mission group meeting Dip/Appetizer Party at our house. We give prizes to the teens based on a quality checklist. We gave our cookie plates to the kids as they left along with a token gift.<br /><br />Computer: blog<br /><br />Tidy, tidy, tidy! My before bed routine.<br /><br /><br />Visit My Blog to see the pictures.<br /><br />http://awelcomingheart.blogspot.com/2009/12/home-fun.htmlJennie Shutthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01715792680565620968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-84666473446023405962009-12-03T22:43:32.426-05:002009-12-03T22:43:32.426-05:00Love how this series inspires and motivates us all...Love how this series inspires and motivates us all. I finished my inside decorating this week. I seem to get/make more decorations each year, so it takes a bit longer each year.<br />The gingerbread pancakes sound fabulous. Do you have a recipe? Tonight I made the normal dessert time a bit more special. Brownies made from a box mix, whipped cream left over from Thanksgiving, garnished with crushed candy cane. While eating them, we put together one of our Christmas puzzles. Dollar Tree has a nice series of 100 piece puzzles.<br />AngieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-40559957035019116962009-12-03T22:06:36.533-05:002009-12-03T22:06:36.533-05:00I just recently found your blog and wanted to say ...I just recently found your blog and wanted to say how much I have enjoyed it.<br /><br />Our fun Christmas activity was buying our tree today, which we'll decorate on Sunday afternoon.thecurrysevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08932092243753160814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-28848683522715954732009-12-03T17:27:15.572-05:002009-12-03T17:27:15.572-05:00I love this series you're doing!

( I have to skip bible study with some loverly ladies tonight to be home but 10 busy days I decided some things are more important that study with ladies, like home with hubby! Thanks for the reminder of how important being home is) I also have no advent calender yet so I have big plans to make one tonight! Any recommendations?<br />http://heritageofgrace.blogspot.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10842661228903248550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-76968797761805598052009-12-03T11:40:48.958-05:002009-12-03T11:40:48.958-05:00Sounds like a great time together.

Yesterday, I baked...That does sound like a fun day!<br />Yesterday, I baked a batch of cookies, made the menu and grocery list, and spur of the moment did a little Christmas shopping (wooden train set from Target)with my sister, and went grocery shopping, and also did Wal*Mart.<br />We ended up finishing leftovers for dinner, instead of having soup.<br />Today- can you guess?- Baking, decorating, hopefully some sewing(Waldorf style dolls), and maybe some cinnamon ornaments with the older kidlets. All those things I consider fun, and when they go to help, so do the children. Dinner will be the French Onion soup we were going to have yesterday. Its cold windy and rainy, and my DH is deer hunting, so that should be just the thing to warm him when he gets home!Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01363843039604440511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-2083746636878668772009-12-03T07:35:19.110-05:002009-12-03T07:35:19.110-05:00I am going to see the Trans Siberian Orchestra ton...I am going to see the Trans Siberian Orchestra tonight!!!
