Advent beings in just 4 days! I'm planning on doing the first presentation Sunday evening before dinner, and the second one on Monday. Am I ready yet? After all my planning ahead, no, I am not, but getting closer! One hang-up I've had is with the Sculpey I bought a while back. Unlike previous Sculpey I've bought, these packs have been hard & brittle - exactly what it says it's NOT supposed to be on the wrapping! But I did dig out our Advent wreath last night. Each year after Christmas is over, I put everything away in the far back corner of our storage room. After all, I won't be needing those things for a whole year, right? And each year in December I wonder, why did I store it all the way in the back, where it is now hidden by tons of other stuff?
Perhaps the thing I love best about having a dedicated class-room is that the "older" boys can do things in there while not being bothered by the baby, or that involve things that are not baby-proof. We have been emptying out the classroom this week and today the older boys get to put up their own small tree and other decorations. They don't have to worry about T. tearing it all down, and they are SO excited. Let's see if Mommy can get motivated, too!

since there are four presentations, is it okay if we do one a week or do you think we need to do them all right away? also...i did not make the "houses" for Mary and Elizabeth...is this going to ruin everything?
I will do "First Day of Advent" this Sunday, "Isaiah's prophesy" the next day (candle 1), "Micah's prophesy" the following Sunday (candle 2), "Annunciation" the next Sunday for candle 3, and "visitation" the next Sunday for candle 4.
Note that the 4th week of Advent is extremely short this year, just Sunday & Monday!
In other presentations I have done, I found the houses to be helpful. You don't need one until week 3, which might give you time if you still want to do it. I have used cardboard boxes in the past & painted them with tempera paint - that's what I intend to do this time. They are NOT essential, however, and most certainly wouldn't ruin anything!
