We had days out to places like the Children's Museum and the One-Room Schoolhouse, days at home with a quieter pace, and days for visiting -- like our trip to see Grandpa and Grandma Fulk:
One day Mommy and Rachel went together to get their hair cut. I think it was Rachel's very first time to have her hair cut at a beauty salon.
One of the highlights of the vacation was a jar I came up with (thanks to an idea from Heather). It contained little activities to do -- one each day. The children took turns drawing one out in the morning, and fondly named the jar the "Funland jar". The activities included things like:-- making new playdough
--making leaf sun catchers
-- collage
-- decoupage
--indoor tennis
-- a trip to the dollar store
--writing stories
--baking cookies
I'm contemplating a similar idea for the month of December.
On the first day of vacation Andrew designed this armor set and had Michael help him build it:
Today we got back into our normal school routine, which felt really good. There were snow flurries today and it's very cold (in the 30's). I'm off to perform a haircut, and then maybe read in bed!

Lovely family photo - so nice to see you all. Did Rachel enjoy having her hair cut at the salon? I always enjoy getting back into the routine of schoolwork too after a little holiday and snow flurries sound nice and cosy. :o)
