So, I've given up on getting Christmas cards out

I'm trying to redeem myself. I guess I have a guilty conscience (which happens to be the voice of my husband) about not getting any cards or pictures out this past holiday season. I had a great plan to get it done at the beginning of the year, but that hasn't happened.

So, I'm taking a stab at blogging. Hopefully, I'll be better at it than Christmas cards and the nagging will cease. If I sent cards or a letter or something, it would go something like this:

Walnut is in first grade this year, and although he does very well, he doesn't care for school. He told me one day, "I wish I could just go to school, do my work, and go home." He is very responsible and helpful, but loves to play games: baseball, Uno, Sorry...sometimes I can talk him into a violin lesson.



Pecan wears many hats including big brother and little brother. He wears both of them well. Thomas the Tank Engine is his best friend, or was his best friend until we got Penny (basset hound pup). He claims she is his "best buddy" now. Puzzles are his new hobby...he's getting quite good at them, too.



Peanut is a monkey...monkey see, monkey do...and he does anything he sees Walnut and Pecan do. Peanut has recently taken up climbing. He climbs EVERYTHING! I cannot leave him alone for fear of where I'll find him. He loves playing with his brothers and his brothers are pretty good about letting him play with them.



I just told my husband the nickname I was planning to give him for our blog. He wasn't to excited about being a part of all this, but I feel a need to mention him: he really does exist! (Yes, I was going to call him "Filbert").

So, that leaves me, and moms aren't nuts...just crazy sometimes.
