The Clog Log

Ydnic spent 3 months straight sewing over 100 costumes.  All this she did whilst watching my kids full time as I slaved away earning $ for our yard.  It was wretched.  Oh, but what a TERRIFIC year of clogging.  We have such a fun team this year and just wrapped up our season with a performance in Disneyland on Saturday.  It really is so much work and so much fun.  Oh how I despise costume sewing season though.  More to come on our fabulous Disney adventure later.

 This is most of our team this year.

 So you should check out the

CLOG BLOG

if you haven't already.

I can't wait to finally have some time

to update it a bit.

Remember the Blur

 I stopped posting this year because things were out of control and I knew if I wrote about it at all, I wouldn't have much to say that I would want to read or remember later.  It's all rather a blur.  365 days of survival blur.  Truth be told, I feel like I'm kind of having an out of body experience to be on the flip side of crazy.  The trick now will be to not fill my hours with new crazy.

Here are a few things I, however, do not want to forget.

 Family is everything isn't it.

Hello for now.

Hello for now.

 

This is me right this minute thinking many things.  Namely:

1. Really?  It's already time for wrinkles?
2. I should be sleeping.
3. Thank the Lord:  Tomorrow is a half day for students 

So, lots to catch up on.  I shall eat the elephant task of updating one bight at a time.  Here are some misc. events.  PS: Just because life is undesirably scheduled, no excuses to forget anything Nicole!

Let's start with braids.  Annie and I are totally into braids as of late:  

 Also, is it possible to be in love with a bill?  I am.  This is the best bill EVER! It may just be top 3 in the reasons to move to Bloomington.  Really!  It means we can have an acre of grass and pay next to nothing to water it.  So happy to pay this every year.

 AND here is a minor SAMPLING of the projects we have been tackling.  When we get discouraged, we look back at some of these before shots and realize we are making progress after all.  More to come on the yard.  I feel like we've moved Everest back there and finally turned the corner on things.  Finish line please.

 Have I mentioned my girls LOVE Grandma Polly.  Baby V is named after her.  The best part about Grandma Polly are the compliments.  I could be the worst Mother on the planet and she would still think I could fly to the moon.

 We planted TULIPS last fall and they are SPECTACULAR.  Here they are just starting to pop up on St. Patrick's Day... which by the way I TOTALLY FORGOT!  Thank heavens it wasn't a school day and my kids were older or they could have held it over my head for eternity.  We were sitting in church and suddenly Quinn pinched me really hard.  I couldn't figure out why for the longest while.  I had even been wondering why so many people were wearing green.  I'm losing it!

Also evidence that I'm losing it:  In a one week period I found myself 3 TIMES driving down the road with the van door wide open.  One time a cop turned on his speaker to tell me to pull over.  Real fun to have, "YOUR VAN DOOR IS OPEN, PULL OVER!  YOUR VAN DOOR IS OPEN, PULL OVER!" blaring at you while you are driving past the middle school you work at.

Told you I am losing my mind.

I mean, really- losing my mind.

More to come.
