fun weekend

Here are some pictures from our nice long weekend...

Sara Beth and I went to a cooking class for kids on Saturday morning.  They made popcorn balls.  They are like Rice Krispie treats, you just use popcorn instead of Rice Krispies.  Then they rolled the balls in sprinkles and chocolate chips...mmm mmm good!

Saturday afternoon we went to our neighbor/friend, Hanna's birthday party.  She had a magician come and perform a magic show for all her friends.  I wasn't able to take pictures of the show, but I did get a couple of pictures of all the girls there. 

 Sunday afternoon the girls jumped in the bounce house.  Chris took pictures of their wild, electric hair!

Then they came inside, rested, and colored

Monday morning the girls had cookies for breakfast (just kidding...they did have a real breakfast first!)

And Monday afternoon we went to the park

Too bad we can't have a 3 day weekend every week!

Project 365

I've made several resolutions for this new year.  I've tried to stick to things that are actually attainable, instead of things that just sound good but know I can't actually do for a year.  My resolutions for 2012 include: running at least 300 miles this year, keeping a cleaner/more organized house, having a quiet time each day, keeping this blog up to date, and taking at least one picture a day.  This last resolution is something called "Project 365".  I downloaded a free app that keeps track of all the pictures I take, and organizes them onto a calendar on my phone.  I will then share my daily pictures with you, here on this blog.  These pictures (as you will see) are completely random.  But they represent a small part of each day. 
Here are pictures for January 1 - 8.

January 1 -- bounce house fun

 January 2 -- play house fun
