Hanson Crew

Thanks for reading The Hanson Crew !

My passenger door lock has been broken for about a year now. That means when I start to drive and the car automatically locks all the doors, a really loud buzz comes from that door (usually scares any visitor we have in our car). And whenever I push the lock button on my little key chain thing, a loud buzz scares the lady parking her car next to me. And that means when I need to get in the car at church or anywhere else my husband drives us too, I have to stand outside the door waiting for him to unlock it from the inside. Well, no more! The door was fixed yesterday and man I am telling ya, it is awesome!!!! Had to share some small, but well worth, car repair that literally made my day.

It's so neat to see this generation of students use all that online information for education. Ashlyn's 3rd grade teacher has had them watching some pretty interesting videos online on our home school days. We thought we would share this awesome resource (website) that she uses alot . Enjoy! http://www.howstuffworks.com/

Sorry for the blog lag again. I have been keeping up on Christmas projects, yard work, and school time. My in-laws are going to be leaving at the beginning of December this year to visit Carol and Rylee in the Philippines so I have decided to be completely done by then with Christmas stuff (Dec 4th) - minus the baking! So this week and next is devoted to shopping, shipping, and digital gift time. So far, I am making some real progress. I am most excited about spending Christmas in our new home....sitting by the fire, reading the Christmas story and spending all day in our pjs playing with new toys. This will be a change for us, and hopefully a new tradition (staying at home all day). I will try to post some new pictures tomorrow. For now, I am back to some more Christmas stuff :)

Which one do you like better? (we are working on some digital Christmas gifts)

Here sits Penny. She is part of the family and usually gets pulled around Kansas City with another favorite little green blanket. Well, yesterday was a big day for Penny. She took Caleb to preschool, went to the bank, then Target and then Wal-mart. After a busy day, she decided to rest a bit in the car while we did the school run and picked up Joshua and Caleb. So that is why we were all amazed at her energy level on her way home from preschool. Jonathan had her resting her head on his window to get some fresh air (the window was down today for some strange reason) and in a calm and subtle voice, Jonathan yelled out, "oh, no Penny out window!" As soon as he said it, I looked out my rear view mirror and sure enough I saw a flash of white and brown fly high in the sky behind me and then watched as the car behind me ran over it. I pulled over on what it one of the busiest streets near my house (Barry Road) and managed to start driving the way I was originally driving whe...

An important questioned posed to the smart person (and non-parent) who invented this creative method of time swapping.... How is it possible that young children still want to stay up an hour later, but all of a sudden want to get up an hour earlier? We at the Hanson household are looking forward to next week when we are back to some normalcy!
