17 Days In

Well, we're 17 days into this year and I have next to nothing to show for it. I have taken hardly any pictures of anything interesting. Truly. 

There's been a lot of evenings I haven't been home since everything hit the ground running in the new year. 

So when I left off, it snowed. It's been out of control cold but the past two days have been delightfully temperate and most of the snow is gone. 

School got started back up and M has been given the Crested Cara for her birds of prey project. So that's a thing we are working on.

We finished the second quarter on Wednesday and that's nice. 

Our family has been on a quest to get the kids to eat more recipes. So we've been experimenting with sliders. These chicken and waffle sliders held great promise and as it happens, I was the one who thought they were gross! 

I spent one day making a million of these stained glass windows for an event so the kids could make them. It was a lot of work but also delightful and fun. 

The very next evening was the Ladies' Craft Night which was a lot of fun even if all I have to show for it is this granny square perler bead creation. 

Then I chaperoned the 4th grade field trip to the botanical center and Bald Eagle Days.

Which, to be fair, when C went in 4th grade and told me it wasn't that interesting I didn't believe him. But, it actually wasn't that interesting! Still fun to be away from school for the day. 

After a lot of rehearsals, last night was C's Honor Choir performance and he was darling. I am glad he's found choir. 

I really wish I had something interesting to tell you, but alas, these 17 days have been busy busy busy, and without anything great stories to tell. 

Enjoy your weekend!
