It’s been a little while since I’ve had the chance to catch up on the blog. Things have been a bit busy around here! With Christmas right around the corner and holiday activities in full swing, there’s been a lot going on in the Simpson house. We’ve enjoyed decorating for Christmas, having fun times at holiday parties with friends, and of course there’s keeping up with the day to day of school, work (Mark), teaching classes (me), and taking care of the #1 Princess in the house (Cayenne).
However, the kids did get to let loose at school at the end of last week and have a fun class party, watching a winter movie, etc. I got to help out with Lyla’s class party, so I was able to snap two photos of her in her class “photo booth”
I like to joking say, if we accomplish nothing else in 2014, we are proud to say that we have accomplished how to tire out a Vizsla! It’s lots of exercise, even in the super cold weather, but this pup plays hard then crashes! I remember thinking this of the girls when they were babies – when they’re asleep, there’s nothing cuter!
After getting the last week of school finished, we tacked some holiday baking. While I “appreciate” my assistants, I could use some reinforcements of the non flour-flying, non dough-eating types! As is always the case when I have helpers making Christmas cookies, it looks like a bomb went off in our kitchen by the time we’re through. The cookies may not be decorated in the most fancy or neat way, but you can be assured they’re baked with lots of love (and lots of licked fingers - hope you don’t mind!!!).
The great thing about Winter Break is that the weather can be cold and rainy and we can still go swimming in the middle of the day! The gyms that I teach at have great indoor pools for kids, so it’s fun to take advantage of the opportunity to swim even in winter!
