it is december 1st and weather.com actually stated it is "very cold" so it has been a lazy day...
i was going through the photo archives and i seem to have a lot of random photos....
so, i'm going to make this a random post....
i've seen these random posts by a few people (in different variations) so i thought i'd give it a whirl...
a talented,lovely gal i know gave me the template to follow.... thank you, G. :)

outside my window...mostly darkness, i also see the glow from the neighbor's lamp and how it illuminates the pine trees....
i am thinking... that i adore this time of year... the christmas music, hot tea and cocoa, clementines, baking cookies, sweaters, fires in the fireplace, coziness, gently falling snow, picking out just the right gift, giving, that magical feeling, family, togetherness, the boys' excitement....i could go on...it all just makes me giddy!
i am thankful... for my dear family..they are wonderful.
in the kitchen... new festive additions: an advent calendar that a certain 3 year old broke into to get to the chocolate, a craft project the boys did--little paper owls decorated with festive, sparkly scarves and such, our chalkboard with a hand written note by owen that says "happy holidays", a pretty red poinsettia...
i am wearing... PJ's (they go on after dinner, don't judge...) and my fun festive fair isle socks from boden...
i am creating...nothing at the moment except this blog post...
i am going...to bed very soon...
i am wondering... how owen is going to do on the top bunk for the first night ever... hope he doesn't fall off... he was super stoked to inherit my old bunk beds this weekend. Come bedtime though, he got all sentimental and said he missed his old bed. He persevered and is now loving them....he is slow to adapt to change. (like his mama) bless his little soul :)
i am reading... "the rosie project" or at least attempting to...i usually have to renew a book three times to finish one these days... am also reading "we make the road by walking" for my book group...
i am hoping... one of these days the baby will figure out how to sleep through the night...ha...
i am looking forward to...the weekend--getting our christmas tree and enjoying some festivities in our quaint little town--a twinkle parade for the kiddos and wagon rides...
i am learning around the house... that couch cushions strewn about the room provide hours of entertainment...but, i strongly dislike putting them back where they belong..
i am pondering...what to get the hubby for christmas
a favorite quote for today... "be a rainbow in someone else's cloud.." {maya angelou}
one of my favorite things...york peppermint patties...
a few plans for the rest of the week... getting together with friends, a winter photo shoot, christmas tree time! :)
and finally, a peek into my day...
a glimpse of a random lazy, saturday morning..
boys will be boys...
