peeps, you may or may not have noticed, i'm having some trouble getting back on the blogging horse in 2012. for lack of any better explanation, i think i'll just go ahead and place the blame squarely on the weather which has been nothing short of RIDONCULOUS (in a good way) since christmas. sunshine + sixty-degree temps in january in kansas? for weeks in a row? unheard of.
last weekend, we hauled out the projector + huddled up in blankets in the backyard to watch E.T. what could be better? i confess, life seemed pretty good.
hint: the engineer picked up our projector for $50 at a university surplus sale years ago. it's worth doing some research into sales in your area--if there are deals to be had, they might as well be had by you.
and now as i'm typing this the kids are waking up and jumping up and down because it SNOWED last night. ha. of course it did.
p.s. thank you for the birthday wishes. i'm all warm and fuzzy inside even though my feet are freezing.
