Well that long break was really unintentional :) We have just been sooo busy busy busy!! Phil's been working hard with tuning pianos, working at WIS, lessons, etc. etc, and I have been busy getting recitals ready and organizing the house and such. hah! We are ready for our 3 week break here after next week!! AHhhh!!! yay.

About a month ago we did a mass-cooking day where we prepared 12 meals ahead of time. Here is what one of the meals looked like:
 

We freezed them all and then on busy lesson days I just throw one in the crock pot. That way it's ready whenever, since we often have our breaks at different times. I have been leaving the crock-pot on in the laundry room.......because then the smell isn't so strong for the students in the rest of the house!! haha. But this has really saved us a lot of time lately and it's good because then we still have something yummy and nutritious we can eat for supper. We will probably do the mass cooking thing again over Christmas break.
This was a favorite moment of mine in November:

PUMPKIN PIE AT KEWPEE!!!!!!!!!!!

And this was an emotionally straining day (Blaze of lights day):

But it turned out GREAT for Kaylah I think. It just felt like pulling teeth trying to make it happen.

We had a super amazing Thanksgiving with lots of yummy food and awesome family! Got to eat 3 yummy meals this year!! hehehee!!

Welp, gotta get back to making the Christmas goodie-bags for the music students. The goodie-bags look like this:


Each bag probably cost us .30! LOL. They will get 3 packs of gum, some starbursts, a Christmas pencil, and a gummy thing. And a "joy" ornament. Hopefully they like it!!!!!!!!
