We started the year trying to get over the last vestiges of the flu. Thankfully, the girls never came down with it. Unfortunately, they had boundless energy and the rest of us did not. Christmas break came to an end the first week of January and we got a slow start back into life.
We decided to take a long weekend the middle of the month and head to NWA to make up for things we didn't get to do over Christmas break. We got a hotel that had a pool. The kids loved getting to swim and play. The night proved to be a challenge when Eden coughed for 4 hours straight in the middle of the night. Thank goodness for a 24 hour Walmart nearby!
The next day we awoke to snow falling. We headed to the Children's Museum for some more fun. There was a new lab experiment in the Hershey's Lab as well as several new things to play with throughout the museum. This is one of my kids most favorite places to visit right now.
We continue to plug away at the endless list of projects both in the house and in the yard. We trimmed all the Crepe Myrtle Trees in our backyard. We now have to rent a chipper or haul off about 3 trailer loads of brush! We also ripped out a bunch of ugly bushes from near the front of the house. Slowly but surely we are transforming the look of the place. We might be done by the time the kids are grown...or not!
That is all for now. I hope this New Year finds you in good health. Until next month...
