Falling behind

I am such a blogging slacker lately! Life just seems to get crazier by the day. Zach is currently involved in piano, our church's Christmas musical, and basketball. This means that we are spending a lot more of our family's "free time" attending dress rehearsals or piano recitals or basketball practices or games. I'm finding it difficult to summon up the energy to blog. However, I'm seeing a light at the end of the crazy, extracurricular tunnel! Zach's big musical performance is coming up on Sunday. I hope to be able to post some pics or a bit of video of that. I just sat through the dress rehearsal tonight. It is such a cute program. And there are some talented children involved in it (of course, my child is one of those extremely talented)!

Quick story. On Monday, Zachary had a piano recital. He walked up on stage, sat down at the keys, played his song beautifully, and then my boy stood as though to take his bow. HOWEVER, he did not bow; nor did he walk down the steps to return to his seat. Instead, he J*U*M*P*E*D from the stage. Mike looked at me with an eyebrow raised and said, "He just did a rock star jump off of the stage." I could see the glint of pride in that fatherly eye! I just laughed because it was so unexpected! Funny, funny boy.

I realize we are now into December and I should be posting Christmasy sorts of things. But I am slightly behind this year! I've usually put up my Christmas tree and have the house all decorated by now, but I haven't done that yet either. My point? I'm belatedly posting a couple of Thanksgiving videos of the boys. They are too cute to overlook, even though Thanksgiving is now over and done. I hope your holiday of thanks was enjoyable.

Good F words

Hey! Not all F words are bad. The best words in the world are family, fun, food, and fabulous! I'm challenging myself to expand my own appreciation of the fabulous F words out there. I'm starting a list of words that I'll eventually write about. Let me know if you think of another fun one.



Family ~ Father ~ Fast ~ Fanatic ~ Fanciest ~ Festive ~ Fanciful ~ Freedom ~ Friday ~ Flower ~ Flagrant ~ Fixable ~ Forceful ~ Forbidden ~ Foray ~ Foppish ~ Fledgling ~ Frappacino ... hmmm... maybe ?
