We didn't delay in starting Christmas festivities this year! As soon as Thanksgiving was over we broke out the decorations, decked the halls, and picked out our tree. It does feel nice to have some normalcy and something to celebrate even though it isn't the way we "normally" do things.
Audrey spent a bit of time this week up cycling boxes and creating this pretty cool astronaut costume for herself. It is tricky to sit in, but she doesn't seem to mind. This fall in school we have focused quite a bit on Maine history/studies. One area of focus has been Maine authors. They picked 4 of their favorites here and put together some great presentations.
This fall we didn't have the opportunity to burn our burn pile like we normally would before winter due to the drought. So, naturally, we chose a warm-ish day (right after we put all of the hoses away so we had to get them back out again!) and had a burn day. Of course it started snowing, but we didn't realize it at first because the fire was so hot, none of the precipitation made it to the ground. It was a fun night for s'mores in December and watching the fire in the snow... the hoses definitely froze, but thawed the next morning;)
