Wrapping Up 2011

Wow! How did we just wrap up the last week of 2011?! CRAZY! ~ and amazingly our last week was pretty darn relaxing ....

What is wrong with me?!  Life with a four year old is not relaxing. Clearly my definition of relaxing has changed over the last four years.  How about this ... we had no appointments, no work, no school, no travel  ... we stayed home, ran a few errands here and there ... Four days of housework and play.  I'll take it!

... did you ever know waiting for the garbage man to come down the street could be so exciting?

 ... a little playtime with our buddy.  Looking for Care Bears in the clouds. I dont think they succeeded ...

Yes, we still live in North Central Washington ... and yes we are rolling into January ... and I know, it's crazy ~ We don't have any snow!  The snow we received back in November came and totally melted.  This is so out of the ordinary ... We played outside this week, at times without a coat. NUTS!  I'm loving it. Caden is loving it ... and I hope come August we don't regret all this lovin of the sunny weather when we are dealing with a drought. ... but for now we will continue to enjoy every minute of it!

I don't love that Caden is into guns.  I despise it. But Dan says it is okay. and I guess when you see the cuteness of Dan & Caden playing in their own little imaginary world ... I guess I think it is a little okay?!

Mr. Caden was more excited to try out my new food processor then I was. He's been begging all week. So today we made Salsa ... and while we were in the kitchen we also made cupcakes.

we took another walk ...

Kickin it while playing the x-box ....

 Wrapping up the year with a yummy dinner & margaritas!

 ....I finally got with the times .... Yes, the kids at school would give me a hard time about my old school flip phone (really, I didn't see any wrong with it) :o)  Dan bought me an iPhone for Christmas.  So ... here's a little iPhone photo dump for you.  

 

Oh, you should see the attention we get in the store now ... with his own little cart ... sigh!

Wishing you a WONDERFUL 2012 ~ Thank you for all of your kind comments and your continued reading of our adventures!
