Happy New Year's Eve

Wow! Where did December disappear to? I am just finishing up a very cool project that I'll post here soon. Can't wait to share it to show you just what I've done this month!

Ian is so excited about New Year's Eve. He knows it involves fireworks so that is all he needed! He is taking a nap with his dad right now so they can both stay up past 8PM tonight! (I think Shea needs it more than Ian!)

I just spent 40 minutes going through old posts, trying to find posts that sum up the year, are highlights, stand out, or are special. I finally decided to just leave it at, "it's been a good year! 

What was your highlight this year?

Three classroom days for me this week so I probably won't be around much and then off to visit family for the weekend! I hope to catch up next week! See you then!

Still not feeling well, but Ian came home from school in such a good mood we had to do something! He even greeted me with "I missed you today Momma!" and then explained that the guy had said "holiday." Shea translated that for me into, he heard NPR on the way home and they were talking about Christmas.

We made gingerbread cookies which meant lots of tasting and mismeasuring and anticipation for them to be done! They are his favorite though! In fact if I mention cookies he says, gingerbread! Even in July!

When You Buy A Red Car

You know how you become aware of something and then it seems to be everywhere? 

Today I was avoiding work and cruising Facebook. Found a link to an article where my brother was quoted . 

and then I thought, I wonder what else is being written about California International Marathon since it is Sunday. And I found this. I never even knew about kids and seizurs and now it is everywhere! Weird. But comforting.

Working on a Daily December project...will post it as I go starting tomorrow or so.

Everyone in our house is sick, but hopefully that just means that we are getting it over with so we can enjoy the holidays! We did manage a little bike ride this evening to take in some of the neighborhood lights! (and yes mom, we were bundled up!)
