Driving around the neighborhood tonight looking at Holiday Lights. Eva was so happy and ooooed and ahhed and ohhhed and sighed and pointed all the way through. We listened to Christmas music while we drove around. What is my favorite Christmas song? Carol of the Bells, of course. And then? Christmas is Coming. (Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat, please to put a penny in the old man's hat. If you haven't got a penny, a ha-penny will do, if you haven't got a ha-penny, then God bless you...)

I got out of the habit of carrying my camera once it broke and haven't gotten used to the old one again. Tonight the kids and I looked at Venus and Jupiter in the evening sky. Here is a lovely photo of the two planets with the crescent moon. The moon is at half quarter now, so things have changed a bit, but you can still see the two planet so clearly. Really lovely.

Yesterday and today there was much crafting and arting being done by all. So many preparations for the Homeschooling Bazaar next week. Several different robot prototypes and bracelets and necklaces were made. I am of course knitting the sweater for Mary's baby and wondering when I will ever take the plunge and finish up those dinosaurs for Christmas!
