What Fun it is to Laugh and Sing

What fun it is to…laugh!

1. Make Christmas cookies | 2. Get an early Christmas present – new washer and dryer! | 3. Go on a library trip then laugh over Diary of a Spider | 4. Make tents on a rainy day | 5. Catch Eldest Boy in the laundry room again | 6. Start the day with sharks | 7. Be with homeschool friends at a 12 Days of Christmas party (and share pastels) | 8. Field trip to the golden dome despite getting lost in downtown Atlanta and getting soaked in the rain

Create homemade wrapping paper.

Enjoy a Christmas ornament pastel lesson.

Go to family gatherings. Have friends over.

Be in the outdoors at Mama Ann’s.

Open sibling gifts!!

Make this car ‘back rub’ t-shirt for Hodgepodgedad and give it to him early!

O’er the hills we go, laughing all the way, ha, ha, ha…

Go on a Christmas field trip to our state capitol to visit Nana.

Share a helpful habit. Hodgepodgedad encourages with the Habit of Generosity. Sharing the surprise showing up in Salvation Army kettles!

and sing!

About Hodgepodgemom

Tricia faces a daily dose of chaos homeschooling five children. The biggest lesson she’s learned? At the end of the day – when the dishes are put away and the children are tucked in bed – truly what matters is each child’s relationship with the Lord. Raising children is a God-given privilege and, folks, the time is short.
