life and planning

this is a random post of things happening around here.

we are  . . .

still playing with legos.  i don't think they will every get old around here.  considering bobby still loves them we won't be getting rid of them anytime soon.  i just wish i could be this talented.  i can make a very tall tower.

being silly.  but is that a surprise?  we have parent teacher conferences this week and i can't wait to hear what his teachers have to say.  i've been told that he is quite the funny man in class.  i love that they appreciate that about him but are also ready to calm him down when needed.  

 

standing on our head.  i should really look into gymnastic class for her.  she loves twirling and tumbling and can almost do a handstand by herself.  don't worry grandmas, we are there to catch her, most of the time.

she also loves wearing her tap shoes around the house.  click, clack all day long. 

her teacher conference is this week too.  kind of funny.

 

getting ready for christmas.  bobby and i had some free time on sunday thanks to grandma and grandpa tom.  we couldn't decide on a movie, he wanted district 9, i wanted this is it and precious wasn't playing close to home.  so we had coffee and started planning our christmas.  we made lists, looked at gift ideas online and even, sort of, decided we want to have a little christmas party.  it feels good to be on our way to an organized holiday season.  we even decided on our christmas cards.  yah for that.

i'm still working on grandparent's day but i am also getting started on my december daily album.  this will be my third year making a daily album all about our christmas season.  i love pulling out these books every year and looking at all of things that we are involved with.  but the most special thing of all is taking a few minutes everyday to think about the everyday that makes this time so special.  i feel like because of this i enjoy and cherish the season even more.

think about taking a few moments each day during december to think about, write or photograph something that makes christmas special to you.  i think you will be surprised at what you can capture.  and if you want to be inspired look here.

have a good week.
