Trying to get back into gear
It's surprising easy to get out of the habit of posting daily. I have all kinds of excuses, the best of which is that I've been living life instead of typing about it. The weather this week has been spectacular, and there's no way I'm not going to enjoy the gift of 80 degree days in December.
I spent a lot of the week shopping. Picking up Christmas gifts, some much needed clothing, food. I'm not sure how it happened, but some of Jamie's jeans are already too small. These are the same jeans that were on the big side of fitting three months ago. I'm not at all upset about this spurt, it seems like she's been wearing the same clothes for *years*, and even I'm ready to see her in something new! Except for the jeans, come to think of it. September was the first time she wore those. Hmm.
In the evenings, instead of blogging about my day, I've been sorting through the 8100+ pictures of the kids I've taken this year, looking for the best 30 or so for our annual gift book. Yeesh. The experience is making me want to resolve to take fewer pictures of my family. I may get my wish, since for whatever reason, I've taken a lot less photos in the last 4 months.
Yesterday was busy, with TKD, our first visit to Chuck E. Cheese for a party, and the tree lighting ceremony for our little town. The girls got their first ever picture on Santa's lap, and there wasn't a single tear! Today was much more relaxed, something I think we were all ready for. We managed to get our Christmas card picture taken (finally!) in short order with no fuss. And as a totally unexpected gift, both girls fell asleep at rest time. It's putting a kink in getting the Christmas pictures printed, but it's a happy kink.
