tis the season

So, it's once again been a while. I remember when I was updating this daily.

I'm a person of many words.

Anyway, on to actual stuff: Boys had last day of swimming lessons today. Yes, on the first day of December. It was an inside pool. My glasses fogged up every single time we walked in the facility. Very nice little change from the winter weather.

Love the holidays. Don't get me wrong, but there's something a little galling about this time of year. My house is a constant mess, and I feel like there's always something I'm forgetting that I won't remember til after New Years, and then I'll have to wait for the next holiday season. And it's wet and cold and everything freezes.

It's pretty from inside though. The sparkling snow, the christmas lights, the christmas cooking smells. the fun things with the boys. The early nights, cuddling with insane amounts of blankets.

Boys got to do their gingerbread house. Notice the singular here. Mike made the suggestion that maybe I could do one for every week of the holiday month so that it wouldn't be a big deal if any (all) of them feel an undeniable urge to dismantle my culinary baby. I told Mike he can make his own darn gingerbread.
