One Thing - 1/6/15

Who cares about toys, under the bed is where the fun is!

One Thing - 1/4/15

"Mama, I need a stool. I can't reach it. It's on top. I can't reach it."

"What do you need?"

"The Bible. I need to read it. I need to read it, Mama."

"Thank you, Mama! Thank you! Thank you!"

Anytime, sweet girl. Anytime.

Whew! I climb into bed tonight exhausted! Our messy house after Christmas has been so in need of attention. I spent the day cleaning up and doing laundry (9 loads washed, dried, and folded! Still waiting to be put away though). There are still suitcases to be unpacked but everything else is looking at least a little better.

The living room before:

This pic was from Christmas Eve...it got much worse than this!

After:

Jonah spent some time with a new toy - snap circuits. He is learning a lot, and I am trying to remember high school

 physics.

Lydia loves this new-to-her sweatshirt. This morning she told me it had "nice pockets" then proceeded to tell me "there's no phone in my pocket." Sorry sweet girl, it's going to be a long time before you are carrying a phone!

This is what a week of Christmas celebrations and a few days at Grandma and Grandpa's house does to a busy 2 year old.

We went sledding again today and took Lydia with us. She loved it!

One Thing - 12/27/14

We had our family Christmas at my parents' house in Mountain Lake today. After opening gifts and eating lunch, some of us went sledding. We sure are thankful for the 3 or so inches of snow that fell overnight that made the brown landscape beautifully white!

One Thing - 12/26/14

After I got home from working this morning, we finished packing and loaded up our van for the trip to Mountain Lake for a few days with Grandma and Grandpa Nelson. We are here for a few days and another Christmas celebration tomorrow. Sweet boy is asleep by a Christmas tree. :)
