Albin celebrating 14 years with friends

5K walk

Christmas tree, 2010--one we could all agree upon

What's that you say?  You want a humongous mushroom for dinner?  Raw?  Coming right up!

Frosted orange rolls, almost as good as mom makes

learning all the time

I had an hour and a half at home today before I had to be off driving again, and I did something new and practically unbelievable.  I did not wash the dishes.  I did not pick up my room.  I did not do laundry, sweep, cook, or clean in any way...even though this was my only free hour at home until after supper.  I sat down to knit and watch Hercule Poirot's Christmas.  It was only 10:00 in the morning, too.  Egad.

In other learning, Elise did start at the local Waldorf school.  She'll decide at Christmas if she would like to continue for the year, but she likes it so far.

Albin is going gangbusters with his physics class, too.  Not only do they meet for over an hour three times a week, they have decided to hold a study group after each class as well.  We'll see how it goes, but at this rate, he could easily be spending nine hours a week on this class.  Good thing he likes it so much!
