Happy Chinese New Year

A little late
Monday Allan had his New year parade at school. Fun stuff. Lots of red and orange food. I brought mandarin oranges and cherries, did not go over well. You should of seen the looks. Hey, doritos, carrots, and jello were a big hit though.

I am still plugging away on my picture a day. Sometimes I go to bed at night and remember....Ohh I forget to take my picture today. There will be lots of pictures of the moon, sleeping boys, dogs, etc.

I am getting tired of the cold and rain. Would like some snow. If not bring on the warmer weather.

Oh My Gosh!

Christmas Morning
Santa was crazy. He gave the boys a drum set and an electric guitar. Thank goodness I rec'd ear plugs in my stocking.


Ok, no excuse. I have been real lazy. We had company again. Grandma Stegman was here but that was only for a few days last weekend. So much is going on. Evan is playing indoor soccer. I like it because there is no practice. Allan is playing basketball and loving it! Of course our weekends are taken up with that. A game on Saturday and a game on Sunday.
My brother,Daren, is still here. It is good and bad. His dog is cute but nothing trouble. Lately he has not been bringing her to the house. Muffin loves to play with her. When Muffin is done though, she gets into something. Crazy.
Chris is taking another online course, logic. I love teasing him about this one. He is the asst. coach for the soccer team and basketball team. So he is busy. And me, Lazy. I do the laundry, cook and occasionally clean. I am trying to do the project 365. So far I haven't missed a day. Reading a boring book for book club. A few pages at a time.

Not Forgotton

I know it has been a while. Just busy! Who isn't this time of year? I am getting excited for the holiday. Tomorrow we will open few gifts, a tradition. Hopefully I will post some pictures and update. I still have some presents to wrap. And one gift yet to finish. It is taking longer than I thought it would to make.

Right now, we are watching "White Christmas" one of my favorites. They are on the train to Vermont, singing the song SNOW. Oh how I wish we had some of that white stuff. no snow, snow....I think of peace, quiet,,,white stuff, snuggling...... fireplaces.

Happy Holidays!
