Jan already seems like a long month

how is that possible.  it is only the 5th today.  not that this matters as i am happy for every day..but i am not sure why the first week of this month seems like an eternity.  my christmas tree (still up) seems ridiculous in the corner of my living room.  this weekend i will get it down for sure. 

So Jan 2nd…

Sam.

Rose riding his bike (Sam really rode his bike around and around Pecos park, I was SO proud, he was too)

Thorn falling off bike and swing

Thankful for his bike and going really fast on it

Rose was taking nap with mom (for sure!)

Thankfuls (as usual) everyone in his family and his friends (stuffed animals)

Jan 3rd

Ian and Sam (both had the same)

Rose Reading the Boogie Monster book twice in a row

Thorn hitting and kicking each other

Thankful for their family

Me

Rose the boys dancing to boogie monster (and naked crazy dancing).  The story of the naked crazy dancing is that Ian forgot he had already taken a bath.  So we were in my bathroom and he started getting out of his pajamas.  When I said “what are your doing nugget” and he realized he already had taken a bath so he stood there frozen and turned bright red.  Sam laughed because Ian was standing there almost naked and it was time for bed.   I thought I would help Ian recover so I said “Ian were you planning on doing some crazy naked dancing before you went to bed?”

“Oh yes he said” and he started dancing around the room like a mad man.  Sam said “well I want to do that too”….so there they both were.  Past their bedtime dancing wildly around the room in th noddy. 

My thorn was actually going back to work

My thankful is for having a good job even though I hated going back to work

Jan 4th

Ian

Rose being with Daddy at home today (NS had to leave so Daddy stayed home with them).

Thankfuls “for you and me and my friends and my bed and my family”

Sam

Rose watching the guy replacing the glass in the patio door today (the gardeners accidently broke the glass with a stray rock)

Thorn when Ian hit him in the bath

Thankfuls that hamburgers can have cheese on them

The New Year

Well here marks the new year. 2012. I was not unhappy with 2011 in general as, although there were sad bits, 2011 was a good year with my family. So now we move onto 2012….I am excited for the clean slate of January.

Jan 1st
Resolutions

Ian to not put his feet off the pedals when riding his bike. Not kicking anyone ever again (funny because he never kicks anyway so this should be easy)

Sam one is a secret? The other is no fighting…and finally no biting anyone, including not biting dragons

Debbie to save $$$$

Leon to lose weight

Sam
Rose was for eating Ian’s birthday cake
Thorn was Ian not sharing the lion stamp
Thankful for Ian’s birthday and his party.

Ian….was too excited about his birthday to do rose and thorn properly…he said all kinds of silly things like “thankful for Sam’s birthday” and silly things like that
