Random life update

Lately Annie has taken to making my bed in the morning. When I’m doing my morning “get ready for the day” routine, she’ll come and close the bathroom door and tell me not to peek. When I come out my bed is nice and tidy. Too bad she refuses to pick up any toys during clean up time.
We’re having the official birthday shindig this weekend. No real theme, just little girl goodness. I’m making and decorating a great big cookie cake later today.
The girls are big enough to go to the Tuesday night kids program at church now. You know what that means? Jory and I can be kid free for a whole hour and a half every week (and we don’t have to pay anyone either) sweet. Classic CafĂ© anyone?
Tomorrow is going to be an insane swirl of story hour, Alex’s class, Cathy coming and a pizza party/movie night at the church. Which means one thing: my kids won’t have time to destroy the house.
Life is good
Oh, and I gave Alex a few sentences to read for his school work yesterday. He says “Mom, these are too easy, next time give me something harder”. Famous last words.

4 Years Old




Guess which members of our family celebrated their birthday over the weekend?? That’s right, my babies are 4!! We had a fun birthday weekend that included a yummy birthday lunch at Cici’s pizza, and a trip to the huge downtown library. We also had our small family party where we decorated cupcakes and received some new toys.

Update

So Christmas vacation is over and life has hit me full force. Plus the whole new year, trying to be a better person thing – my resolutions don’t really include keeping up with the ol’ blog. I’ve spent most of my free time learning how to use my new camera. I found an online class (for free – yahoo!) where the instructor posts a “lesson” and an “assignment” and you can write in with questions. So I’ve been trying to keep up with that. And taking lots of random pictures. I think I’ll post some of my random practice shots on my flickr account if you want to see them. Can’t be cluttering up the ol’ blog with random pictures of branches and water droplets and other weird stuff now can we.
In other news the girls birthday is coming up on Sunday. I can’t believe they will be 4 already. It also means that I have to take their 4 years photos soon. No more pictures of sticks for a while I guess.

Part 2

Jory finally convinced my camera to be friends with my computer. So here's Miss Annie with the Santa hat. She gets two, because I couldn't pick.

Thankful

Oh how I love thee Canon Digital Rebel. Let me count the ways. Taking the Santa baby photos and getting 6 good ones of each kid as opposed to uh… 2 good and a bunch of mediocre ones. I wish I had more time to post pics, but such is life right. I’m going to be very thankful when my camera and my computer learn how to communicate properly. (pics of annie to come!)
Christmas break has come and gone. After 7 days off, it’s time to start up again. Refreshed, renewed, and excited to learn again. Thankful for some time to scrapbook, clean house, and work ahead on my school stuff.
Also topping my thankful list today is facebook. Not a new member, been around for a while, but still so thankful when a new little friend pops up. Recently a lot of VA beach people have shown up: Yvette, Lindsay, Josh… so thankful for you guys. Sorry I forgot you existed.
