This is a totally selfish and boring post so I won't forget my amazon searches for dds' books for Christmas. Due to financial timing these will most likely go in their stockings that we open on Three King's Day (Epiphany) on January 6th [see how we celebrate here and here]. Phew, that gives me a little more time.
What's Cookin'?
I found this youtube video on how to cut up a pineapple. It worked out really well. I wish I had more umph - I would get more while they are on sale and can some pineapple. We dehydrated some, used some for Ambrosia Salad, and ate most fresh. Our Ambrosia Salad this year was mainly pineapple, shredded coconut, and drizzled honey.

What's Schoolin'?
Technically, this isn't school, but each dc has something they want to learn so their book Christmas wishlist sort of fits under schooling. The topics are trick roping, playing the harmonica, and some sort of dog encyclopedia. These are "under consideration" - I haven't decided on anything yet...
Roping: Cowboy Roping and Rope Tricks
Harmonica: Mel Bay's Easiest Harmonica Book
Dogs: There are waaaay too many choices. I'll have to narrow to dog breeds since we've had The Encyclopedia of the Dog checked out from the library for about a year. I know she'll really miss that book. Here goes: Encyclopedia of Dog Breeds
If I don't get this for her I will probably get this for me :) [Dog Breeds of the World
Holy Water Fonts: I've been wanting to give each dd an inexpensive font for Three Kings Day since last year. Inexpensive is the operative word here. I was searching on Amazon
