I have the song stuck in my head today: Back to life, back to reality. Ugh. Winter Break was great and I am SO sad to see everyone back to school and work routine!
I think I enjoyed this break extra much, because after a busy end of the year push, I am all caught up on photo editing for the Season. That means I am actually enjoying taking photos of my own family again. {This is something I want to take into consideration next year when taking sessions.}
After all the Christmas Celebrations passed, we had lots of time left to just enjoy each other before the break was over and Daddy had to go back to work. We didn’t make any big plans, just hanging out, reading, doing crafts and playing games.
We introduced the kids to the game Guessturesthat my mom has from back in the day. They still make it, so it must be a keeper. It was so fun!
There was lots of Lego building and Lincoln Log constructing over break.
Thank you Sock Bun, for making it look like I have time to curl my daughter’s hair!
Wednesday night church party:
Dale decided to teach me Texas Hold ‘Em over break. Lets just say I kicked some booty! I like Beginners Luck!
Second and third night we played? Not so much beginners luck leftover, bummer.
The girls got this cute kitchen for one of their Christmas gifts from us. After they went to bed one night, I decided to play a trick on them.
I had their Dolls trash the kitchen and raid it of ALL it’s sweet things!
Oh such NAUGHTY little girls! I think they have tummy aches.
My girls thought it was pretty stinkin’ hysterical!
We went to the library for new books, and I even got some! I spent a few quiet nap times with a bowl of soup and a super good Christian fiction. Oh, how I have missed reading a grown up book!
There was plenty of time for Crafts after 2 days of beautiful snow, YAY! I will share more about this particular snowy day craft another day.
There is always time for a chapter book before bed, this time it’s The Mouse and the Motorcycle.
And lets not forget all the Plays that were put on!
Tomorrow will feature 4 frosty little Fergusons, from our snow day fun!
