137 months old


I know, I know, I'm 2 days late here.  I'll even give myself a shred of credit in that I even remembered this photo at all.  The two weeks of Christmas vacation is a weird alternative universe for us, especially the week between Christmas and New Years.  The hubs and I take off work for the same days the kids are off school, and we all quickly descend into staying up too late, sleeping too much, not getting dressed, and too much screen time.  Some people go out and get things done and that's awesome - we do so little that we make sloths look athletic.

So, back to Britton - ready for 2021!  She's excited that she won't be the only new person at school anymore (in middle school there's so much angst), and that unlike everyone else, her schedule wasn't completely changed.  The school has about 80% of students face-to-face now, and they had to rebalance the classes.  It's time to get back in the swing of things, and for the first time since last March, starting tomorrow both kids will be back in school.  It's bittersweet, but I'll report on their first day on the 7th (assuming I remember Barrett's picture on time).


Likes:  Britton is back into painting, not having to practice her clarinet over break (though she did begrudgingly play "Jingle Bells" for us on Christmas Eve)

Dislikes:  having to get up for school and wait a whole 2 months for spring break
