A good time was had by all...







The leftovers are almost gone.
The trees are up.
The Christmas music is playing.
Love this time of year.
We even got snow yesterday.
Sledding. And hot cocoa. And mittens drying.
The kids are back in school and I've got oodles of laundry to do.
But it's all good.
It's Christmastime...

    I see from the picture that you had the requisite green jello salad. That reminds me so much of Grandma Young and all those thanksgivings growing up. We didn't have any green jello at our Thanksgiving :(. However, our friends have beets for Thanksgiving, not because anyone really enjoys them, but his mom, who recently passed away, used to always serve beets at Thanksgiving.
    That must be how traditions get started, eh?

    What gorgeous pictures, Cath. It looks like you had a wonderful time with your family. And snow?? C'MON! Could it be any more perfect? I think I'll put the tree up tomorrow... I'm finally getting the Christmas spirit. Did you get the laundry spirit you needed?

    I love decorations and music this time of year...I hate the shopping, though.
    Your photos are lovely. You are so good at pictures...

Phlumpyschlumpy.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...
