Back to school.

I just sent the kids back to school after their Christmas break. Somehow we acquired a sock monster over the weekend, so it was nearly impossible to find the kids matching socks this morning. When I looked in the dirty clothes hamper, there weren't *that* many dirty socks, so I have no clue where the darned socks are. Apparently, the sock monster is also a uniform pants monster because he gobbled up all of Collin's uniform pants, leaving only a lone sad pair with ripped knees. Poor Collin. He's so picked upon.

One of my goals for this year is to cook more, so this morning I made the kids pancakes for breakfast. Their school feeds them breakfast, so they usually either eat that or I toss some cold cereal at them right as the bus is rounding the corner to our house. We'll see how long this whole cooking thing lasts. The kids seemed rather impressed when I woke them up and they had nice big plates of pancakes waiting for them.

Today I am going to attempt to make tutus for the girls. We have pink and yellow tulle, so hopefully my little project will be a success. If it is, I'll post pictures and the girls will be subjected to photoshoot after photoshoot with my trusty point and shoot non-focusable camera, and you'll never hear the end of my craftiness. If it bombs, I'll never speak of it again.

The clock tower just chimed 8 times, so I had better get busy!
