52 weeks:: Week 2

So this week was really a struggle to take photos of my kids.  Two extremely cold days, Kevin traveling (making me the full time parent) and busy schedules made it hard to even take out the phone for photos!  I am also finding that my time is more limited in being around my kids, posing less opportunities to take the photos.  *Sigh* It was bound to happen, I know and finding I must make a more concerted effort to get their photo when I can!

Some highlights of our week:
Snow (and lots of it!)
Taking down our Christmas tree
Inside because of cold temps
Gifts from good friends
Elise’s Review of Choose Your Own Adventure book

    Friday and 52 weeks… again.

    The past few days have been all about goals and resolutions, but today is Friday.

    Cue in balloons.  And cheering. And those of us living in Minnesota, sweaters ( and hats and mittens and cozy socks, and anything to keep us warm with these frigid temps) And coffee, lots of coffee.

    Friday’s this year on the blog I will be introducing myself through randomness and through a personal project that I have been trying to do for the past couple years (and failing miserably at) …52 weeks. Through this personal project I hope to finally start putting photos of my family (either taken with my pro camera or phone!) and putting them together in a big book for us at the end of the year.

    Because this week was really the very first week, I have to be honest that I drew from the very last week of the year when we had the week off for winter break.  It was so relaxing to be able to take off some time and really invest it into our family.  We spent Christmas at home and were together a lot.  Swimming, building snowmen, a trip to the Mall of America, making cookies, paying with friends and ringing in the new year by banging pots and pans at midnight while playing broom ball and being with friends was all part of the week. Also this week is MN in pretty frigid (like today was -12 as I drove the kids to school).  As much as I love the beauty of winter, the frigid temps just about do me in.  More to come as the weeks continue.  Happy Friday to you!

      52 weeks:: Week 8

      So I have to admit, I have been a little lax in doing this project this month, mainly because we have had about 100 snow days (ok 5) sick kids, a sick mom, and just trying to play catch up with the behind the scenes work of the business.  But progress, not perfection right?!  So even though I have skipped 2 weeks, we are back and kickin’ on yet another snowy day in MN and another day off of school.  I am really hoping for an early spring and a LONG, HOT summer!!  Happy Friday, and if you are traveling today anywhere in the midwest, stay safe!!

      Events of our past week include:

      Playing outside in the 40 (yea!!) degree weather
      Celebrating Elise’s 7th birthday
      Valentine’s day
      Elise’s “Spa” birthday party
      A much needed date night
      Another snow day
      Paying outside in the winter storm
