Kim 365

I spent the day doing mounds of laundry. Here's load number 4, all folded and cute. Load 5 is still drying and I'll have to do the rest tomorrow. Phew! No one talk about ironing, okay?

The bib topping the pile taunts me, reminding me that I am behind on laundry.

This was my first attempt at following a photoshop tutorial to get this look. Good thing my dear husband was sitting next to me the whole time telling me what everything means. I have a lot to learn over the next 313 days!

I'm like a kid in a candy store on a frosty winter day! The kids and I went out to Dalmeny for the morning, and I took the long way home. I took a ton of pictures, but picked this one because I love the contrast of the treated wood fence against the rest of the white surroundings.

Walking through the house, my attention was drawn to the shadows being cast by the glorious January sunlight streaming through the window. I quickly searched for something that would cast an interesting shadow and....voila! Now I think perhaps I'll go curl up like a cat on that warm floor.

Somehow our boys thought it appropriate to name their spacemen Goopa Guys. It appears Orange Goopa Guy has landed on a strange planet. White, grainy soil and....are those strange land masses edible? Might be an okay place to be stuck after all!

Forty years ago my parents made a covenant with each other to love and to cherish, for better for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, for the rest of their lives.

By the grace of God they remain committed and as they celebrate 40 years, I celebrate as well!

Little boys
Awaken from their slumber
Kindly say "Good morning!"
and thunder down the stairs.
While Mommy and Daddy praise God
for a lazy Saturday morning
Little boys do something
little boys do very well.
Make a mess.
Dump out the cars. Trucks. Trains.
All of them.
Then they survey their masterpiece....
and play Wii.

Take a look at this little pleased as punch gal, who decided she was ready to sit up by herself today! Way to go sweetie!

Scrambling at the end of the day for something around the house to take a picture of. This is our board beside the phone, and in focus is the cute Christmas card my sister and her family sent. I try to be fairly faithful in clearing this board off, since all my *important* notes on it generally become part of the scenery in a matter of days. I'm not as organized as I'd like to be but who is?

A goal of mine this year is to train for and run in a 5k race. I am so out of shape and training for a race seems like a good, attainable goal. Something to work for. I'm not a hardcore runner though (yet), so all the snow on the ground and temperatures way below zero are reason enough to stay inside. I figure if I'm stuck inside, I might as well be doing something else to get in shape so I've got a head start once the snow is gone. Enter Jillian Michaels. Yikes. Today was day one of doing this DVD and it was killer!
