my random assortment of holiday photos

on my web gallery.

I am currently filling my days with watercolos, acryclics, worm farms, glitter, sand, waffle making, cuddling,

& laughing with my babies.

went to the park for 2 1/2 hours today and chatted it up with a new friend.. watching the kids play, and clouds drift through the bright blue sky. so rad.

and.. perhaps one last trip to the ice skating rink tonight.

aaahh life is good.

OH! and I get to go on a date day with my honey tomorrow! (taking him to Mountain hardware for his Xmas present) =) and then hes taking me out to eat to skates on the bay.

im so happy.

Happy Holidays everyone!!!

this melts my heart to peices...

avery

has been SOOOOOOOO incredibly good for a whole week, so he earned a sticker on his chart for every day of the week.

anndddd he gets to go to the movies! yay! so happy.

new jacket

So we have literally gotten away with not having real jackets for way too long now. Hey ! we had afternoon kindergarten classes. but.. now we walk to school in the early morning hours.

my little bug would layer herself with 3 sweaters and tell me how cold she was all day.

but.. really.. it doesnt get that cold here. but.. it was a few weeks ago it did!, and i was like. crap! we dont even have a jacket that fits!

by the time i ordered one online (hell no im not going out in this shopping madness! proud to say i have yet to go to the mall this year. holla!) . the cold front was over. but.. hey.. she got two cute after hours online drunken jacket purchases out of it. yay!

like how I am justifying buying nice jackets for my child!? te he.

and it was so funny.. because we got home from school one day and she said... "all my friends have "eskimo jackets". And i was like.. oh no! here we go with the whole "my friends have everything in the world and i have nothing crap". But.. instead I said "whats an eskimo jacket?"

and viola! little did I know.. I picked the right jacket! and there it was in a package on the porch.

cabin

nothing like a little cabin time with the fam.

omg!! i needed to reconnect with all of them! its just been far too busy around here to do that.

we went sledding, and then sledding, and then some more sledding.

im sore!

i took a lot of video, maybe ill piece it together.

it was so fun!!

we ate a lot of food, drank a lot of good wine, and thawed out cuddling together in matching camp connell pj's .

now back to the last few days of school. last night was junipers hula holiday party, today is a field trip (yay im going!) and tomorrow is the holiday party, and then sat is tequila night (still on the fence about that one)

but after all that.. im pumped for holiday break!

im taking juniper to the SF nutcracker for the first time next week!

and i also want to hit up the new steinheart aquarium i grew up going to! eek! yay! im brimming to the top with joy.
