a new year

so it is a new year and i haven't been very good at staying on top of my blogging. i have made my resolution this year to be better at writing. i plan to do a picture a day project for the year too and will post these on as well. in order to get this done everyday i have decided that when i go to the computer it will be the first thing that i do. that way it will be done and over with and i won't come up with some reason as to why it didn't get done. usually it was just laziness or that nothing interesting has happened but as my mom pointed out it isn't how interesting it is. it is finding out what is going on in our lives.

the kids are obviously home for winter break but i am ready to send them back. they have had a nice holiday but i think that even they are ready to be back at school. it gives them something to do for the day instead of telling me how bored they are all the time. we have so much snow and we are supposed to get more tomorrow or tonight. the kids have been having fun playing in it. one night they were up and outside until 10:30pm playing in the snow. thank goodness santa brought mitts and toques for everyone. i will get a picture for today up and posted by tonight.
