Resolve

My New Year's Resolutions are as follows:
1. Get organized. I need an organization intervention in every square foot of this house.
2. Take care of myself more. Whether that be physical, spiritual, emotional, etc.
3. Feel LESS guilt.
4. Lose the last 10 lbs to get me back to my wedding weight.
5. Do an intentional kindness for someone else each day week.

I think that's enough to go on for a year, don't you? What are yours and how can reward yourself for accomplishing them? (I get to go shopping when I hit my goal weight!)

January 2nd

There's a lot to post about today. In one respect I've decided I think that I'd like to post something every day this year. Nothing amazing, but I love all those 365 photo projects I've seen going around and it will also help me keep a better journal of the crazy things the kids are doing/saying. I wanted this mom journal for Christmas to write one line a day, but I didn't get it so this little blog will have to do. Heaven forbid the Internet crashes and deletes all my memories though...

To start off, a conversation from last night:
G: (fake crying in the car) Tate hit me!
Me: Tate did you hit her?
G: Tate, don't hit me! I'm sick (insert fake cough, since she has been better for a few days now)
T: Aw, You're NOT sick Gracie!
G: Yes I am! I'm sick *fake cough* Daddy, tell Tate I'm sick.
Sean: Tate, don't hit anyone whether they are sick or not.

Sigh. This whole thing stunned me, they are hilarious.

This morning at breakfast:

G: Tate called me naughty!
T: *laughing*
Me: Tate, don't call her naughty and say you're sorry right now.
Tate: I will in 2 minutes *goes back to eating toast*

Where do they even pick this up? Made me laugh anyway.

Finally, Today marks one year since we lost out close friend to a sudden heart defect. Nothing profound to say here. We just miss him. Can't believe it's been a year and I'm grateful for how God has taken care of his wife and son. Sean is out climbing a mountain some friends in remembrance since it was the last thing they did together.

I love that they are starting to play with Benny and not just poke at him.

This picture about sums it up.

We were excited for presents, but too sick to really enjoy them.

We've been to the dr. to confirm we are passing around a nasty flu to each other and that's all. Fun stuff.

Here's hoping for a healthy 2011!

Merry Christmas!

Have a blessed and very Merry Christmas!

Sickness and Santa

Going to see Santa today. We wanted to wait until today in hopes the lines would be short.
Sadly, Grace is barely hanging by a thread with this flu. She is super sensitive, has a hoarse voice and a non-stop runny nose. Benny is almost better, but still coughing up a lung. Tate is the only one happy and cannot wait to see The Big Man. He let us cut his hair and took a bath before donning his newly pressed bow tie for the occasion.

I'm just hoping we have minimal tears overall and all three are willing to sit on his lap for 45 seconds (and that Santa doesn't mind a little snot on his sleeve).
