You would think from my absence that something exciting or interesting has been absorbing all my time. Nope, not at all. Just the usual stuff. Which is nice after about 6 weeks of holidays. We had a very "normal" weekend--with a birthday party, church, lunch at a restaurant, spread out over two days. I finished a baby blanket for baby #? and started the next one. DP cleaned out an upstairs closet. The kiddos especially enjoyed playing in their igloo tents. The cats liked that too.
This week has been "normal" too. We started our library and school programs again this week, have playgroup too. It's been warm enough that the kiddos played outside without coats yesterday, spotting birds' nests in empty trees. We'll do it again today. But then I think the warm spell ends. Which is fine. It is January, after all. We've been playing a lot of hide and seek and tickle-tackle (which always ends with the ticklee shouting "calf rope," my family's secret word for stop it now). Oh, and I'm going out with the moms on Friday. I'm the designated driver for all the post-partum moms; I get chocolate cake in return. I think that's fair.
And, for now, nothing is on tap for next weekend, besides church.
Really, it's all good. A great way to ease into the new year.
