It is so wrong... We have this bright beautiful sun shining outside, it warms our windows and puts a beautiful spring glow through the house. It makes me restless and I go outside, only to freeze. It tricks me every time..but do I learn? No. Even though I see a frozen birdbath I still attempt to go out.
Normal rhythm's and routines happening here. I don't see Greta much these days. She is busy at school, then has homework and then has swimming twice a week. The week flies by and I miss her.
I have been trying to play and enjoy them as much as possible. Which means not writing in the blog as much, forgetting to grab the camera, letting the house go.. but I've been in the moment with the kids and enjoying it very much.
Cookie monster. Boy does this kid have a sweet tooth and a sense of humor. He woke up very early this morning and even though he is done with naps, he needed one by 9. After dropping Gret off at school I said it was rest time. He said"mommy, look at my face. See I'm not tired.I'm good" he's been playing ever since. I have been trying to teach him his numbers and counting as of late. He always finds a way to outsmart me.
me: "how many fingers am I holding up?"(3)
F: "one, two and the other one"
me: "what number is that "one"?"
F: "the other one...."
Me: "Is it three?"
F: "yeah, yeah, mommy you got it right, it's three."
Lots of post-holiday laziness.
outsmarted again.. I wrote up some chores on the black board for the kids. Grets was to practice swim kicks and change the cats water dish 2x a day. Fieldys job is to play with cat. Greta got home from school and made a few changes.. adding things like "eat cookies and read"& "play". She later added the words above" love, Read, play with cat, care & feed cat.
Fieldy scissor hands. This kids been cutting up paper since I can remember..way before he should have been able to. He is my little shredder. He likes to draw and then cut up his pics which leaves me few to keep. Today he was giving the cat a lesson on cutting paper. Chomps already shreds paper like a pro.
I am in DIY mode, ready to organize and spring clean... a bit too restless, indeed.

Hahaha, it's like he's quizzing you! So cute. Also adorable is Greta's list :)
It's very sunny here too, with blue skies. However, the wind chill is below zero. It's deceiving, at least the sun warms the house up a bit. We haven't even had snow yet and I'm so ready for spring!!
It really looks like you are moving into the new year slowly, as one should :)
I've been feeling a bit of spring fever, too. But probably because I wish I was further along in my pregnancy than just 15 1/2 weeks. The sunny days make me want to open the windows and start de-cluttering the house. Too bad we have a high of 27 today! : )
Cherisa congrats on your pregnancy! Are you feeling ok?
Hey, Ray! I'm feeling pretty good now that I'm in my 2nd trimester. We've been hit with a round of colds and then a little stomach bug here but seem to be on the mend. My biggest struggle at this point is finding work-appropriate clothes. In my two other pregnancies I was either working in more casual environments or not having to commute on the train or by foot in the winter months. So I could fudge my wardrobe with skirts. But that doesn't work as well while teaching in a professional college. :-) Thank goodness this is our last!
