Is It Christmas?

Hey my friend's, how are you on what for us has been a very warm Wednesday. No coats for sure and if my Grandson's could have gotten away with it, no shoes! So today I managed to make paper chains with the boys. They are still under quarantine for Covid. I'm trying to find ideas to keep them busy. Thankfully their teacher is sending out ideas on e-mail! So we have been talking about hibernation. We have a book called "Bear Snores 🐻 On" that my boys just love and it went perfectly with the lesson. We made maps to the bears 🐻den and they drew little picture books to tell the story about the bears. Today we practiced fine motor skills by trying to cut on the lines and we practiced colors and patterns by glueing together red and green loops. The boys thought I said paper train instead of chains. So the took their little paper chains and ran around the house making train noises! I finished the chains during nap time!

Jeremiah is 3 yrs old and everyday he asks, "Nana is today Christmas 🎄?" We try to explain it to him but he just doesn't get it. I don't think their Mother did any Christmas things with them because they don't have a clue! They are constantly asking us why we are decorating the house? They also don't have a clue who Jesus is or why we celebrate Christmas. I keep trying to tell them the story but their focus is so short I don't think they hear me at all. Oh well, I will just keep trying!

The boys and I went punkin chunkin in the back garden. Basically we tore up our pumpkins and gourds! This year I was smart enough to save my seeds. So next year maybe we can grow our own pumpkins! Talk to you later my friend's!
