....why both of my boys, at about the age of 10, have gone through a stubborn I-want-to-wear-shorts-every-day-of-the-year phase. I don't like to create power struggles with my kids about unimportant things like clothing choices, but, man, it embarrasses me to no end every time a certain 10-year-old of mine walks out of the house in 25-degree weather wearing his shorts and t-shirt.
....why cloudy days are so darn hard on my psyche.
....we can't all just send Christmas cards to each other all year long. I go into serious withdrawal every time I walk to the mailbox these days.
....why a certain child of mine can't smile this nice in all of his pictures.
....how I can accomplish ten times more in one day than I can in an entire week-and-a-half with my kids home all day.
...why I lazily put off doing things that would be infinitely easier if I just did them right away.
...how Cami could be any more hard-working and creative. Her New Year's Eve cupcake sale raised nearly $350 (plus a $100 donation) for Glen's LLS fundraising for leukemia research.
...why a certain child of mine puts more thought into what he's going to wear for school spirit day than he does about writing a 2-page essay (that he still gets an "A" on).
....why the rest of my siblings don't move closer so we can have cousin sleep-overs more often!
...why broccoli can't taste like Grandma Sandy's addictive English toffee.

It's already dark a lot more in the winter then when it's cloudy many days in a row... That is not cool.
That is a great picture of Spence!
My nieces and nephews are awesome!
You are awesome, Lara!
