So I am a little behind in watching last week’s episode but I think we all knew who is going to the finale. What I am wondering is if the Voltagio brothers are going to end up messing with each other’s heads to the point that Kevin will just need to be there to win it all. I like Jennifer but after the last few week’s I expected her to not make it all the way to the final.
I love Matthew West, Amy Grant, VeggieTales and Operation Christmas Child. This is an interview with Matthew West and Amy Grant about the song they did for the new VeggieTales Christmas DVD. The song starts 4 minutes in but it is a good piece with Huckabee too!
I can’t believe how quickly we are speeding toward Christmas. I have so much to do!!!

I saw this over on American Digest and loved it! It is paired with a piece on Cheney’s interview with Politico.com.
So what is this? Spaghetti? Maybe? Recipe to follow!
People wonder what to do with their toddlers when they homeschool. Well, boxing them up is always an option;). In all seriousness, NerdPud decided that this box was better for holding her than the ark and animals we usually keep in there;).
I saw these cookie cutters are adorable! I always joke about my cookies are never perfect so this would be fitting. I also think they would be a great gag gift yet practical one for that foodie in your life!
Outside my window it is shockingly bright and crisp looking.
I am thinking of how quickly Christmas and Hanukkah are hurling towards me. I am trying to remember that holidays won’t be any better if I freak out about getting things done. The kids and the hubby don’t care about the details but the time.
I am thankful for our health. It is great for the stomach bug to be gone!
From the learning rooms we are going to start our focus on Hanukkah with books on its meaning. But over all we are starting our slow month of December.
From the kitchen I am trying Spaghetti squash with regular spaghetti sauce so we will see who it fools!
I am wearing Sweats and a 3/4 sleeve shirt, yet I am still cold.
I am creating the mailing labels for my Christmas cards. I haven’t sent them all out in years.
I am going no where today! But I will be out and about for most of the rest of the week.
I am reading all my holiday magazines in case there are any projects or recipes I want to try.
I am hoping that I will stay chilled and maybe get some more energy.
I am hearing my 2 year old building with blocks and my six year old humming while she does her Bible study.
Around the house I hope to tidy up a bit and dig out all the Christmas presents that I have bought all year and look for holes. Also I hope to do a little Christmas decorating.
One of my favorite things is Christmas music and mint in chocolate!!!!
A few plans for the rest of the week: MOPS, homeschool meeting, Bible Study, the kids picking oranges for a service project, the kids having dress rehearsal, a baby shower and the kids church performance it is going to be quite a week!
I love candles. I love the light and the fragrance. I love the ambiance. But I don’t like the prices of the fancy candles or what is worse, when you light them and there isn’t really much of a fragrance. So I was delighted to discover Glade candles years ago. They smell wonderfully and burn for a long time. Not only are they really affordable, there are even coupons to make them even more affordable!
I love the holidays and all the scents that go with it. So when I discovered the Glade Holiday Collection it was a jackpot! I love the Peppermint Crush because it just makes everything so fresh and minty! I got the Bayberry Spice to try and I love it. I have a fake Christmas tree (allergic to pine) and I really miss the piney smells. This is great for that! Now there is a problem with these candles. My husband came home to the Apple Cinnamon burning and he was crushed. He thought that I was making an apple pie;).
