January

I have always disliked the months of January and February very much - just too cold and messy. This January has been a fairly pleasant month and it has seemed to go by quickly. Now, if February can do the same it would be great. We have read a lot this month and spent a lot of time on art and small projects and that has also made the month seem to go by fast. Bethany and Tess are getting ready to make the rag rugs that we read about in The Long Winter. I bought a craft book and a sewing book to go along with the series and there are some really nice projects we will be working on. Most of the kids love to do the projects and especially love it if we have some recipes we also make. 

I took this picture of Evelyn and Claire on Saturday. Evelyn said she was fixing Claire's hair for Sunday morning.
