It's Almost Christmas, But Where's the Snow

 

We've started enjoying our nightly walks to look at Christmas lights in the neighborhood.

This one was pretty creative. 

I guess the owner delivers Christmas trees or something.



Meadow's favorite, a purple tree.


Not sure what is happening here.

It's art, Brooke. Art.

This guy always goes all out for holidays.


Our own mini Bentleyville. Theo did not want to leave.

For gym Meadow had to play board game with her family. Not sure why it was a gym assignment.

Hungry Hungry Hippos is definitely exercise.

It was fun getting to play games with Theo.

Until he spilled his hot cocoa.


We need to do more game nights. We seem to do too many movie nights lately that it doesn't feel special anymore.

We finished with a game of Catan Junior.

Brooke's been really busy, so I took the kids to the lake for some fun.


The lake was frozen by us, but slowly falling to waves a few hundred yards out.

We stuck to the shore and skated around.



If it doesn't snow this could be an awesome giant ice rink.

It took us a while to get down the shore



Always finding lightsabers everywhere.

We ended up at the big bandshell playground.




And then made our way home. It was almost Christmas, even if it didn't look like it.

Money DOES Buy Happiness

I got a wake up call when I realized all the loans I took out for school actually went for school. I'm only working part-time at Menards now which is just enough to pay the rent and bills. My phase of being poor wasn't really a phase, but actually permanent. I took out another loan so I would have extra cash to feed me (being poor is the best diet). I won't see that money for another month which means no time off for a Christmas break. I have to wait a few more days to find out if I even get Christmas Eve off. This is by far the sadest Christmas ever for me. It doesn't even feel like Christmas. Only one house on my street put lights up, I'm used to everyone in my whole town putting up lights. Plus we don't have a tree or any decorations and we haven't had any snow yet. I did get a Christmas present from Menards, 55 dollars in Menards money and this. In two weeks someone I love and care about very deeply will be in London for 5 months and I only get to see hi...

The Cape Cod of the Midwest

We talked Brittany into joining us for a road trip to Door County, WI. Scott had never been there before ( or so I believe) . Considering how short of a drive it is I'm surprised my family didn't go that often, either.
