The First Few Days

Jan 1, 2013 brought another new year - just another day, like any other.  I rarely get caught up in making resolutions, or all the hoopla that goes with a new year.  After tucking the kids into bed (a little earlier than usual because they were over tired and school restarted the next day), I was unwinding while catching up on Facebook.  I noticed numerous people were vowing to take part in Project 365 - which got me intrigued.  Looking it up, I found it was a pretty easy "movement"  Basically it encouraged people to capture ever day of the year with a picture.  The pictures didn't need to be fancy, or super special, but could simply capture a random moment in the day.  I decided this sounded like fun - and may be pretty cool to look back at a whole year of pictures.  Fingers crossed I can keep it up!  Thankfully on day 2, a post on Facebook reminded me of my new project and I was able to quickly snap day 2's picture.

Jan 1, 2013 - Lexi was SUPPOSED to be asleep, in fact we had thought she was a mere 20 15 minutes before I snapped this picture.  My plan was to go take a picture of our sweet angels as they slept, only I found one sneaky little child who had been playing with stickers!  Sister slept sweetly in the bed above - I have 364 other days to capture her :)

Jan 2, 2013 - Thankfully a facebook post reminded me of my new project!  A quick grab of the camera, I decided to capture our tree - with a few presents still underneath.  I know a lot of people have taken down all Christmas decorations - but to me, it still feels like the holiday and will keep up the tree for another week.

Jan 3, 2013 - Morning scramble.  With the kids being home for almost 2 full weeks for Christmas break (+2 snow days) I'm not quite back in my normal routine of getting things ready the night before.  *disclaimer - while I wanted to pack that bottle of wine in MY lunch box....I settled for tuna salad and a diet coke*
