Life as we know it

I guess you are all wondering what is going on in the far North.  Well here it is in picture form.

 Need money for Christmas so it is mitten making time.

Here Ian joins the crew by cutting them from felted old sweaters.

 Here is Jacob pinning them to be sewn together.

 Here is Caleb running the machine like a pro and 500 miles per hour.

Getting ready for Christmas and being very creative about it.

Ian had the idea that we should made a big tree out of old wool sweaters that were not good for mitten making.  So we did.  Here is the result and pictures of the boys having fun decorating the living room.

The final result for our "classy" living room.

Making trees out of wool sweaters?  Hmmmm!  I wander how strange we can make next years tree.  This could be our new fun family tradition!  Yeah, I like it!

Ian has been digging himself out an igloo.  

 He is making a small hole in the top so that he and his brothers can start a little fire and roast marshmellows inside. 

 It better be a pretty small fire.  Candle size maybe?

That's it for now folks.  Lots going on but can't write about too much of it.  Just keep praying for us all.
