FINALLY moving on from Christmas. I must be a little OCD about moving out of chronological order with blogging our life events...it's now JUNE and I'm just getting to January... which is super lame and uneventful and really I should just skip to the present but I just can't do it. I am way too ritualistic with way too many things but I just can't help it! & I still feel blogging is the best way to journal for me, or I would have given it up long ago! Luckily, our winter was quite uneventful so I should be done with it within a few posts. And even if it wasn't I don't really remember it too well... so there isn't a whole lot to tell! :)
Here it is!
The kiddos were SO excited to look out one winter day to find that Roxy had drawn a perfect bow (or according to E a butterfly) in the powder with her little paws. :)
Parker and Emmie off to school... & little sis not quite ready for the day yet. My bed head looks quite similar to hers... (not nearly as cute)
Chris turned the big 36 in January! & of course I don't remember a thing about what we did for his birthday or what he got....
This little one cracks us all up. She is so full of sass and personality... we never know what she's going to do next!
This happy girl was a little obsessed with scarves over the winter.
Parker and his buddy, Cole, having a read-a-thon. Yep, read-a-thon. So cute. They took the Jazz Reading contest for their school super seriously. The schools with the most minutes had a Jazz player come to an assembly, and their school did it! Parker ended up reading over 3000 minutes in just a 3 week period of time! This boy loves a challenge (especially with prizes and weekly drawings involved) and he really worked hard to read all he could! He did awesome!!
More school days!
This little girl loves to "read" herself! She especially loves Look and Find books, and will yell to me, "Read Mom! READ!" if I pause for a second.
On a side note, this chair is so not in great condition... especially considering that Lexi has colored on it... not to mention it's too bulky for our Living Room...but it was my brother's and I just can't bring myself to get rid of it!
Happy Trio! Emmie was in love with her Hello Kitty hat that Mimi (my Grandma) gave her for Christmas!
Emmie only had preschool 2 days a week this year, so these two had a lot of time to hang out. They have definitely turned into the best of friends!
As for me... some might call it frumpy, I call it smart.... but I spent much of my winter in these pups...and savored every second of the coziness! I bought these at Christmas time for someone else but ended up keeping them when I found that person another gift... BEST MOVE EVER! :)Thank you Ann Taylor Loft. These were a definite highlight of this year's hibernation! :)
