January 27th--Day 27--Simplicity

This the same image just with a HDR filter laid on the top one to show the 2 similar colors more in contrast. Number 2 took all the regular cushions off of the sofa and dragged the Yogibo (read: giant bean bag) onto it instead. "It's more comfortable." Well, duh!

Today I am thankful for the simplicity of a child's solution to a (admittedly probably nonexistent) problem!

January 26th--Day 26--Playdates!

Number 1 had 2 little friends from her class over today.  Their teacher had mentioned a couple of times how well they got along together and so I decided to give them a little outside of school chance to play.  They had a great time and I can't wait to do it again!

Today I am grateful for new friends for the kiddos and for me too!

January 25th--Day 25--A Black Cat

We did some visiting today and MIL has a black cat named Zeke. I don't love cats, but he was a very nice boy to put up with the general commotion my gaggle heralded upon his usually tranquil environment.

So today, I am thankful for the chance to photograph a cat while not having to own one!

Also I thought the birds outside looked like they wanted to have their picture taken as well!

January 24th--Day 24--What Snowmen Do At Night, Part 2

Come on that's just kind of cool!

This is a stretch, for the thankful project but it's all I have for today and it really is cool! I've never seen snowmen do this! When we built them on Sunday, they were standing tall, now they are complete arch ways! Science and nature are cool. Full stop. And yeah, I am still a nerd-girl;)

January 23rd--Day 23--What Snowmen Do At Night, Part 1

Our snowmen are falling and we are pretty sure they won't get up!

Today I am grateful for the opportunity to discuss gravity and melting and other fun things with my kiddos! Also sort of looking forward to seeing if the backbend will actually come to complete fruition!

January 22nd--Day 22--Haircut!

That's it, I've had it, it's time for a haircut!!

Today I am thankful that Number 3 chose to behave while his mother was wielding various sharp instruments around his head! Ha!!

January 21st--Day 21--The Local Library

Number 2 just is loving to build these days. We visited our library and she had some fun building!

Today, I am grateful that the world is Number 2's oyster: maybe she will be an architect or a structural engineer:)
