Wild and Crazy

We have rapidly outgrown our house, so we figured it would be time to sell the joint.  So what did we do?

We got a fancy Realtor sign (a highly reflective one), which fortunately came with an awesome realtor, thanks Tom.  And we sold it.

We de-cluttered, crossed off a dozen "to-do" items, painted a few rooms, and had far more than desired late nights...

....packed up everything we own, friends came over, we did some work, (thanks for the help!), we partied too, took some breaks to energize (thanks Kickstart), forgot how much crap we had to move, good times had by all...

... hired Nintendo 3DS as a babysitter...

... and then we were outta there, onto our next adventure.

...whoops, I guess we forgot to buy a place to put all this stuff into.  To be continued...

Paradigm Shift

This stupid commercial has been somewhat of an inspiration for me moving into the new year.  Lame I know.  But it made me think about how much I like having a record of what we are doing, for ourselves.  Sometimes it seems joy is but a few small moments in a crowd of chaos and discouragement.  I don't want to forget that, nor do i want to forget where our family comes from, and how we got to wherever we are going.  

The Allison Diet

I think if I ever wanted to lose a lot of weight, I can just copy what Allison eats.  Tonight for dinner she ate one stalk of celery with peanut butter, was given two hostess donettes, but only ate one.  Way to save those calories Allie, rock on!

Christmas Cards

Twas the season for sentimental, meaningful, often bragging, but always uplifting Christmas Cards.  I am just glad our Realtor is tuned into our situation.  Thanks Tom Thompson, this one really made us laugh.

Solid Parenting

Christmas break is for making plans, venturing out, baking cookies, games, activities, family time and festive fun.... or you can let your kids discover Temple Run, and have a 3 year old put you to shame.

How was your day?

... cause we are having the time of our life!

This is an older photo of Allison, but it made me laugh enough to post it.
