Crafts, Activities, School

Well, like the past few weeks, things have remained busy, but not quite as much. Many crafts have been started, and some of our baking has also been started. Instead of lemon meringue pie, I am now making lemon chess tarts (don't ask where the chess comes from, no one seems to know for sure though if you really want to, you can look it up on wikipedia.) I made the first test batch, and it turned out very well: they got approval from the American, Canadians, and Albanians. Soo, I think they pass for Christmas. Plus, there was no rolling out dough or separating eggs, so that was a major benefit. Much of my knitting has been done, but there is still some left in the works, so I need to get working on that. Hopefully it will all get done in time!

Practices are beginning for Christmas events. We even decorated the church tonight for Christmas, which was fun but it also was a bit sad since the tree is very much a Charlie Brown tree--the top half is pretty nice, but then it makes sort of an hourglass shape and it just isn't particularly nice. But, we also have a teeny tree up in our room that Thelma and I decorated, so I've sort of gotten to do some Christmas things. It's just all very strange to be here and not home. But, for a normal week, it'd be a good one.

School is getting closer to done, as Christopher is now done with his Math books and just has one last math test. He's got 4 English, 6 Social Studies, and 7 Science to finish. The English will be easy, the Science and Social Studies may be interesting to get him to finish. Hopefully though, we'll get it all done before I go.

Anyway, things are going well overall, just pray for our FREQUENT power outages. They are a bit of a problem because they knock the internet out as well and things function slower. But, praise God for generators! Ours is a daily help here.
