January 7, 2010

Snow day #3 for this school year. That means most of the neighborhood played at our house. Ellie and her friend worked on their 5th and 6th (each!) window cling. (Great present!)

January 6, 2010

Hot chocolate with cool whip for an afterschool snack. And yes, those are his pajamas. He'd much rather wear them than get dressed. So as long as they stay dry and we have nowhere to go, he wears them.

It's 5 F out. With wind chill, it's -5 F. And while there are kids who would love to be out on those swings "because it would be awesome to jump off into the snow", no one really wants to go out today.

Monday night gymnastics, aka: I will learn how to take a decent picture there.

Standing back to back (with the 2 year old on a kitchen chair), Rowan is a bit taller. This makes Conor very angry. (Lots of stuff makes Conor very angry lately).

Christmas stuff down, regular stuff up!

January 1, 2010

If you look at the number of posts in 2009, there's one for every day of the year (plus 12/31/08 - I didn't get that one posted until 2009). Now I admit, there are a few (several?) fudges, but for the most part I took a picture every day of last year. (Applause, applause).

I've been having a hard time deciding if I was going to keep this going. I'm in a pretty good habit of keeping the camera close by, so I'll definitely keep taking pictures (hopefully each day). It's the getting it to the blog part that's a pain. (And some of you are not so quiet when I slack off on that).

But I'm going to keep posting them. I don't promise that there will be new pictures more than once a week or so. And I'm pretty sure there will be some that are boring to you (maybe not of the kids every day!). I've decided 2010 is going to be snapshots of things I'm going to want to see in 25 years or so. (Scrapbook to follow!)

Conor and Ellie are supposed to read for 300 minutes each month. December was tough, but we made it. We're starting January out right. An easy way to get minutes is to read to Rowan.
