January... in review

This month... has been rather uneventful.

Well. Kind of.

We've all been sick(except daddy, who is some sort of superhuman who is clearly invincible to germs).
It feels like it's been an endless cycle.
As soon as someone gets better, someone else gets sick, and on it goes.

For several days our Little Superhero hibernated in his room with Mom close to his side every moment of the day.
He had a hard time realizing there were other kids in the house who wanted her attention too.

This is what his bed side table looked like through that time.
We also made a batch of elderberry jam. It's SO yummy!


One Saturday we had a roast beef dinner, and the Princess insisted on setting the table.

This was her master piece.

2011


It's a new year!
And I haven't really written on this blog for a while...

We enjoyed the rest of our holidays together as a family.
New Years was nice. We had some friends over for dinner on New Year's Eve.
Then I had to head over to city hall where I was performing with my glee club from 10-12.
It was a great way to ring in the New Year.
The little Princess came to watch the show, and she made it all the way until the New Year.
She's my own personal fan club!


After December we had to declare January a NO TV MONTH.
And actually, that's been going pretty well.



Well... mostly.


The Baby gets special privileges , or something like that.

Otherwise we have been pretty good about it.
The other kids haven't even missed it.
Or really even asked for it at all.


Without the TV in sight we have more time to play games, read books, and just enjoy the world more.
