where has my sunshine gone??

Lately, I find myself without much to say or even many pictures to share.

It has been rainy. It starts getting dark at 4:00. My kids have had colds. We have been inside a lot. We did make some bread, which was pretty cool because it actually worked, but somehow I just could not turn it into an interesting post. Shocking, I know, since bread rising would seem to equal excitement. It was a fun enough way to trash my kitchen and pass a few hours though.

Next, I thought maybe I could write about how I am the least crafty mom going. How I am no good at finding creative things to do with kids while stuck in the house. How as much as I wish I could enjoy the simplicity of a quiet day at home, I am much better at the going and doing. The activities and the parties. How I would love to be planning vacations to break up the cold dark winter ahead, except it seems prudent to wait and see if my husband still has a job come the new year first.

Whine, whine, whine.

Poor me.

Enough of that, already.

And all this rain and darkness? It also means no good light for pictures. It means pictures like this:

Which by the way Grandma and Grandpa, was meant to say that the girls love their new Christmas dresses. Thank you!

Hopefully, more sunshine and cheer ahead.
