I’m not entirely sure what happened over the last month; it sort of just whipped by.
A rundown of what’s been going on:
- Sadly, I still have Christmas gifts that I still have to mail. As a matter of fact, I’m looking at them now.
- We bought a house "last year" and it's been a blessing and a curse renovating it as it was built in 1954 and hasn't been touched since. I got a new sewer main replacing the old ceramic one for Christmas!
- My 1 ½ year old got a new Thomas the Train set and a few other random small toys - guess what his favorite toy is? The cardboard center to the paper towels. He yells into it like a bullhorn.
- On New Year’s Eve I fell asleep at 9:30. I was hoping to watch that ridiculous but highly entertaining movie, “2012” but that didn’t happen.
- We didn’t go crazy with gifts for our daughter this year, just a few small stocking stuffer's and some American Doll clothes and a playset she really wanted. Her favorite “toy” of choice: the small Snoopy notepad that she uses to take restaurant orders or to write police tickets to her baby brother – like this one:
Obviously, as of January 1st, that’s now illegal in California.

Love that little note
toys are highly overrated. Creativity is highly underrated.
Very good to know!
I love the creative spelling. I think kids learn to read and write so much faster when they forge ahead, not worrying too much about whether their spelling is right. It's good to write a translation, too. I have notes that my son wrote when he was 4, and I can't read them anymore. Lost language.
