MaeLyn's Musings

The kids are home from school this week for Christmas. Steven finished his last term on the 16th and has three weeks off. We've enjoyed this week at home. We've had a lot of activities to keep us busy, besides the preparations for the upcoming holiday. On Monday, the kids pulled out the Legos and made a movie: Lego Man's Adventure.
