1. reading jane eyre again and following along on sparknotes online. i forgot so much in the story in the 12+ months since i read it last. i'm thinking it may in time become as beloved to me as pride and prejudice. excited to finally see the extremely hyped movie version.
2. sorting & organizing and emptying the garage on mon brought more things to sort and empty in the house. i don't recognize the garage now. we moved everything around except the freezer, which is literally about to fall off its wheels.
3. we're 3 cakes into the new year and trying to decide what to make next. i like this pleasant kind of goal. it's very easy to succeed. (did i mention the girls and i are making a cake a week in the new year - from scratch?)
4. in fact i should make all my goals be similar: read more books (can't help it), eat more treats (likewise), watch more obscure song and dance movies (a little more challenging), try to make more paper piles whilst 'organizing'(uncontrollable), stay home more often (my favorite thing). i SHOULD!
5. baby L is awfully sweet these days. he wraps his arms around my neck and holds me. he listens carefully and shakes his head 'no' or 'yes'. he LOVES his 'moo-moo' and any other animals. in fact he's easy to distract in a tantrum (which is rare) we just mention the chickens just outside the window and he's calm. last week he even learned to play sequence animals.
we have lots of fun with photo booth
