This is a short week, since I wrapped up the year on Monday. I hope everyone is off to a great 2013! I’m trying to make “fun” a habit this year, and that includes capturing the fun that is to be had.

Jan. 1

New Year’s Day. We stayed up way too late on NYE, so it was sort of a low key “recovery” day, the last day of hubs’ vacation from work. I continued to try to clean and organize the house after all of our trips, but it seems like a job that never ends. Literally. But then I spent the day with my mom (much to hubs’ chagrin) and we went to see Les Miserables. It was a much-needed break.

Jan. 2

The last day of Christmas break. It seemed much shorter this year, and went by entirely too fast. But hey, I got my big girl camera out and actually took some pictures with it!

Jan. 3

The first day back to school for the big two, and a lazy day for me and the little two. I call it a success that I changed Little Dude out of his two-day-old pajamas.

Jan. 4

Essie claims that she wants to grow her bangs out, so we have to clip them back, especially when they’re wet. She always chooses small, subtle clips.

Jan. 5

Ivy spent the morning with her grandma, shopping at the “Jayhawk store”. I love how excited she is!
