I have the greatest kid ever, I swear.  Last night in the middle of the night I sneezed and from down the hall she yelled "Bless you mom!"   I was totally cracking up because I didn't know she was awake.  "Thank you hon"  "You're welcome."  :)   And that was it, at least for a little while. 

And last night I took her to the store and I let her wear a skirt that was really a dishtowel and a clothespin, a headband made from cutting a sleeve off an old t-shirt, and a magic wand made out of a spiral straw and a christmas star ornament.  So fun.  She's been wearing that headband for nearly two days now.

I've been in a non-blogging and non-picture-taking slump lately.  The weather has just been so flippin' cold.  Yesterday was a nice reasonable 18 degrees and today looks about the same, so we can start spending more time outside, but for a while it was either too windy or, like last week, just too cold.

Ryan and I start classes on Monday.  We'll both be going 3/4 time and Ryan's mom will be watching Mino a lot since our classes overlap.  It's good though - this winter break was very nice, but when you have things going on, you really do get up and moving and you feel better, even if frazzled.
