A Day in Review

For the sake of blogging more frequently, here is today's recap.
Aiden set up a campsite. He made a fire and wanted to roast marshmallows. We didn't have any marshmallows since I'm trying to quit, but come to find out a campfire also goes nicely with Icebox cookies, of which I happen to keep a stash of dough in the freezer. It wouldn't be bedtime without icebox cookies and chamomile tea. :)

 Aiden played outside today. He loves to track animals in the snow and "paint" the snow with water and food coloring. I think Sage was jealous. He watched Aiden out the window for quite awhile. Next year, my dear! Next year we'll all go out!


I watched the news last night and they were counting down the days til Spring. 25 more days....

Icebox cookies yum! Loved to see those happy bedtime snack faces.
Sagey was too cute looking out the window! What ever could be making those tracks; will detective Aiden figure it out? Stay tuned to "Cabin Magic" to find out.

Apple Creek

 A new year, a new orchard. This year we tried out Apple Creek Orchard and it was a really pretty place. We picked apples, took a hay ride, and the boys had fun with the apple slinger. We were joined by Tom's parents and it feels so good to have them now living close by instead of far away. 

Almost to the finish line.

 It's hard to believe that Aiden turns 18 in one week and walks through graduation in just one month. After more than a decade of homeschooling, 2 years of PSEO, and no less than one million moments that I'll treasure forever, my oldest will be an adult and graduated. Great things are ahead for my boy!

Happy Birthday, Cade!

 My littlest is seven and it's hard  not to be sad. We couldn't be without him, and we're so glad he's ours.  At seven years old Cade loves to do what everyone else is doing. He will NOT play by himself, and maybe it's because he's used to having someone to entertain him all the time. He loves legos and soccer. He also loves to read. I am ALWAYS finding Cade trying to tackle reading a book he probably isn't quite ready for. Lately he's been trying to read The Hobbit. While he's able to read all the words, he just doesn't have the depth of understanding to read it independently quite yet. He LOVES Tom Sawyer so he was delighted to find an abridged version to read.  Cade makes up his own mind about things. He will NOT be bossed around. He holds his own, so I don't worry about his brothers pushing him over. Cade also won't be pushed over physically. He is one tough kid. If Cade is crying, I know he is actually hurt because he never cries ove...
