Days 10 & 11

 January 10, 2012 was a perfect day for making a snowman.

The weather was incredibly mild (hi of +6 C) and the snow was sticky.

(Child in the window - Natalee).

And the day after that, winter returns!



Day 7, 8 and 9

 Our 10-year-old Chef.

Too bad it's back to school today. 

He's been making lunch for the majority of our family this week.

Nothing fancy, but always delicious!

 Hockey hockey hockey...

I really don't mind doing laundry at all.

In fact, it's one of those jobs where you can do a whole lot of nothing while

the washing machine and dryer does all the work. 

I even like folding clean laundry. 

Except fitted sheets.  I can never get those just right.

What I don't like about washing the boys' bedding is all the stuffies in their beds!!

ETA: 43.  Joshua has 43 stuffies in his bed. 
And one sitting here on the computer waiting to be repaired.

Day 5 & Day 6 of Project 366

So it's actually Project 366.  February has 29 days this year. 

 Day 5 - Yesterday, the older 2 boys played Monopoly downstairs with Mike.

Andrew, Natalee, Wyatt and I played Monopoly Jr. upstairs.

After supper, we pulled out Apples to Apples Jr.

(new game the kids got for Christmas) and we had a lot of fun with that game.

Day 6 - SNOW!!!!

It's about time winter showed up!

Even though the weather is still very mild,

it feels a little more like winter now that the ground is white again.

It feels like ages since we've had a good ole blizzard.  I'm ready for one.

Day 3 & Day 4

 January 3rd - Joshua had 4 waffles for breakfast. 

I was so impressed that he cut them up by himself so nicely. 

Usually, he uses "tiger cutting." 

His term. 

Use your imagination.

January 4th - Today is one of the days that we do flyers. 

Caleb and Joshua spent two hours getting them ready. 

(It does not take me two hours to get them ready).

Day 2 (January 2, 2012)

Caleb teaching Joshua piano. 

There is so much I could write about this...

Day 1 of Project 365

I'll post more information later on Project 365, if there is any information that may be interesting, but I've committed myself to taking a picture every day this year.  Some may have stories, some may not.  I may post them every day or I may end up posting a weeks' worth of pictures at once.  We'll see how this goes. 

I got a new camera.  :)  I need to figure out the fastest way to upload them onto Blogger...

We had a family gathering today.  I was asked to bring a salad, and as I was tearing up the lettuce leaves, I remembered that I needed to bring two other things.  Mike had Andrew make a list since my memory is pathetic...and he was still working on printing out this list by the time I was done tearing up lettuce.  By the way, I did not forget the things I was worried about leaving behind.

I'm going to go find that list and take a picture of it...

Happy New Year!
