ringing in a new year
Hello! Hope everyone is enjoying their holidays. Ours have been awesome. Being on break from everything has been so wonderful. Oscar's been totally immersed in his new space toys, the marble run santa brought and Tim's old Star Wars toys. Tim & I have been in sudoku battle for a week now and Phoebe's happy as a clam to hop in her doorway jumper and watch us all play. I've also been spending lots of time in my sketchbook and at the sewing machine trying out new ideas. The craft room is littered with projects in various stages of disaster, but it's invigorating to just jump in and try out new ideas. I always love January, a nice fresh beginning. Before the holidays kicked in I'd had many ambitious plans for the start of this new year. I think I'm ditching all of them. I'm liking this vacation pace. Fits in nicely with my new years resolution which is to slow down. Perhaps 2008 will just be the year of the puttering.
Phoebe's all for it! Ring a ding ding.

Space toys?! Do tell. My almost-4 year old is having a space birthday party on Sunday.
Somebody tell playmobil to make space stuff!
