Holidays

Maybe it's just because I have kids now, but I look forward to Holidays more than I can ever remember. Even little ones like St. Patty's day tomorrow. I got Myles a new green shirt just for the occasion. And I'm already excited and planning for Easter. The gifts for their baskets are already here, I ordered them last week, and I'm ordering their books on Wed. They get at least 1 book for every major holiday and birthday. I'm really working on keeping things small though, I'm a major shop-for-my-kids-aholic and always go way overboard. So this year, it's an outfit, an educational toy or 2 and a book about the REAL meaning of Easter for both of them. And of course just a little candy. I'm excited to take them to the Egg Hunt at my mom's work, they have it every year and it should be super fun this year because Myles will actually understand what's going on. I've also sort of started planning Logan's birthday, (bowling party) which isn't until July and as of right now I know the theme of Myles' which is in September, that one is subject to change however, based on his interest at the time.

On another subject. I'm VERY excited about the shift in the weather, I honestly thought it would be cold forever! And although I know we're not completely out of the woods yet, we're close enough that I'm content. I do hope it holds through the weekend. I haven't told Chris yet but I'm planning a hike for us all in two weeks, the next time we have Logan. YAY for fun outdoor family time!
