I hate the darkness of the fall and winter! The short days are TERRIBLE! But, I will tell you that in Texas, you do not have short days. And, you do not have winter. So, be grateful. I never minded daylight savings (and by that I mean inclusively the year round of moving the time on a clock) until I lived somewhere with actual winter. AZ and TX were a non issue. Did that make sense? I just felt like from your comment that maybe what I said didn’t come out right.

You’re nuts!

Love those ideas. Especially the ABC book. The girls will love that. Also a great way to use these piles of old mags I need to sort.

Find and cut out pictures of A words from the magazines and glue them to the first page, then B words, etc. Adah’s not old enough for this one, but Heidi probably is.

I also like to bake with Adah (yummy treats to eat or share, but also the oven warms your house and the baking process produces a yummy smell for your home). Adah is also just learning to play hide-and-seek. (Once, I heard her little voice say help and it took me a few minutes to figure out she had locked herself in the front closet.)

Hope you find ways to enjoy this winter!
