Our schedule has gone so hay wire ... that I decided to put everything
we HAVE to get done before Christmas up on the wall so we could see it.
We are not currently in school - so we used the White Board.
We have no money to spend on Christmas - so all gifts need to be made from things we
already own or can easily get.
So, Rue will be using up our supply of egg cartons (except she needs a ton of help).
Joel has 5 or 6 items to choose from and a really LONG list of people to give a gift to.
Same goes for Kendra and Vannan - but not all of their items are up on the wall yet.
Wreaths, necklaces, tie dye projects, soaps, and lots more ...
Kendra is processing our tomatoes and peppers into sauce -
and herbs are drying and getting into jars.
We've only had one person
say that they enjoyed the spices she gave out last year -
so we won't be giving those out as gifts this year.
Although we would be happy to hand out more if it was wanted.
Each herb takes Kendra 20 or more hours to work with - between harvesting and the jars.
You can see what she's harvesting here ... http://weshallmountupwithwings.blogspot.com/2011/11/garden.html
Last nights freeze did in everything left outside. We are praying for a greenhouse to help us grow food year around.
PLUS - our best friends had their land sold (not really their choice) - they didn't own the land - only their trailer.
So they are living with us until they can get their trailer moved to their new land - probably 2 or 3 weeks - maybe as much as 5 or 6 weeks. They are working daily to pack everything in the trailer ... while still keeping track of the 5 kids (2 are special needs). I'm keeping B full time, and E as well most of the time. ... Keep them in your prayers.
