This is a total "old school" blog post, as in, I write, then I share pictures with you to paint the picture. Are you up for it?
You may have been wondering what in the world happened to my "Scenes from Our House" posts. Well a few things have been going on: for starters, I haven't been taking as many pictures because half the time my camera is not charged (where is my brain?) or has no more memory (aka I have a problem deleting pictures) and then my chord thingie that connects the camera to the computer to upload pictures is on the fritz. To transfer my fun pictures I have to hold the baby, hold the chord still, press the connector into the camera firmly and click with my third arm.
What, you don't have a third arm?
You get the picture, right?
Man, January is always a doozie!
Also, the kids have done the normal winter thing where they pass around every cold virus known to man and I have done the normal winter thing of trying to figure out how to make the foods they love more interesting (cinnamon bun pancake, anyone?)
And then at one point, everyone in the house (except my three year old daughter) was on antibiotics.

Seriously.
Here are the things I look forward to this time of year:
1. Valentine's Day. Hearts are just cool and I love making random craft projects with my kids--especially when they take the lead.
2. Soup. Especially when my husband makes it.
3. Netflix movies.
4. When my kids surprise me with a craft project that they designed themselves. The project pictured below, is a tin can covered in cut-out shapes which were then glued and taped.
I like to think of it as a pop-up-story-tin-can and it's the most awesome gift anyone has ever given me. My four year old daughter who made this even taped her favorite barrettes on top.

Now, how cute is that?
5. I also look forward to fresh snow. Not the brownish-gray melty snow that looks all gross after three days--but the morning snow. Fresh and white and gorgeous.
How about you? What do you wish for this time of year?

Right now I'm wishing for an antibiotic that would actually get rid of a bladder infection I can't seem to shake. Three courses of them and no luck so far! Sheesh!!

PS. Your kids are adorable and growing up so fast, it's crazy. And I simply love the gift from your daughter. You are teaching them to be so comfortable with their creativity. How empowering!
The kids are so cute. Hope everyone is now feeling better. Love the can the girls decorated themselves. so cute.
I too am ready for snow! It has been drizzling here for the past 3 days, making winter so gray and blah. Snow would make it all magical again!
