December Favorite Photos
December flew by way too fast. There was so much going on all month, and I got a lot of unique photos too. Here are a few of my favorites from December.

We shopped a bit downtown for some last minute Christmas presents.

We got to visit the park on a warm Winter day.

The sky was amazing at the park.

Thade was extra excited on Christmas day.

Dylan loves to have school @ home. He is practicing his handwriting.

Agnes swiped my favorite beanie, it is now hers.
And here you go a double-dose of kitty cuteness…

Awwww,

he really is that cute.

4124 as of 12/26/2011

I’m planning a few year end posts, and one of them involves photos. I got a little curious asĀ to justĀ how many photos I take over the course of a year. I did the math and as of 12/26/2011 I had taken 4,124. I’m going to have a lot to sort through before I find a few favorites.
October came in as the month that I took the most photos with 655, and January came in with the least at 176.

Now the real question… I wonder just how many of those photos were cat related?!?

Every year I like to give the grandmas photo albums filled with lots of pictures of the kiddos throughout the year. I also like to end the album with the kiddos Christmas pictures. Some years it goes great…

This will not be one of those years.

I have tried different times, places, outfits, bribery. All in pure desperation to get just one all 3 kids being cute in a photo, and nothing is working…

Agnes refuses to look at the camera,

she will make a mean face at her brother though…

Seriously?!?

I just need one,

So not going to happen.

On to the next day, new outfits, full night of sleep, plenty of coffee for me.

Still not cooperating. Note the somber face on Agnes, and Dylan looks like he is going to jump up and run around at any second.
So I’ll try it one at a time.

Yep, not happy.

Really not happy,

Completely over getting her picture taken.
Let’s try Dylan

He blinked again,

oh goodness…
Thade, want to jump in and coach the little ones on taking happy photos?

And with that, I give up, here’s hoping 2012 brings a better Christmas photo…

Kids 2 Mom 0, oh goodness my head hurts.
So yeah, Merry Christmas.

He Has The Right Idea

It is cold and crappy out there, and I want a nap too. Lucky cat…

I said that in a really squeaky voice. I was feeling better, and then I got laryngitis, and I haven’t had a voice since last Friday…

So I haven’t been up to that much. I’m keeping pretty close to home, and keeping up with the day to day.

The little mess makers keep me plenty busy though.

She has been grumpy too. She had a bit of a cough, and some sniffles, and I though oh no, here’s another cold… Turns out it’s a molar, and I hope it stops bugging her soon.

The big kid had Pajama Day at school, so I let the little ones wear pajamas everywhere too. They loved it, Dylan had a blast running errands in pj’s.

Thade got his Yellow-belt last week at Tae Kwon Do, and he was so excited. He has been working hard to earn that belt. He has just a few classes left before the Winter break.

Last weekend I took the kiddos for a little road trip,and I finally got the house stocked up for December. If the weather holds out, I’ll try to do this again in January. I also bought myself an early Christmas present, we ran to get the She & Him Christmas album, but it was sold out, so I got She & Him Volume Two, and it is so lovely. The kids like it too, ah, hipster goodness…
But for now, I’m off to not say anything…

And how I wish I could snuggle up and take a nap like the lucky cat.
