2012 Memory Jar

I had this wonderful idea (mid-year) to put a jar on the counter and write down little things that happen and then read them all on New Year's Eve.

Well hello New Year's Eve and hello 7 tiny slips of paper! We will try to do better next year!

2012 Memory Jar

1) Me: Elizabeth would you like to read a book to Grant? Grant go pick out a book.
Elizabeth: Pick one that doesn't have words.  I can't read buddy!

2) Grant wearing his Thomas undies and Elizabeth's pink polka dot rain boots (7/1/12)

3) Elizabeth says, "Write this on your brain Mommy!" (10/12/12)

4) Grant says "Please" and "Thank you" (7/22/12)

5) Brandon is sweating and I comment that I am as cool as a cucumber.  Elizabeth says, "I'm a cucumber too.  Daddy you are a hot pickle!" (7/21/12)

6) After shopping at the Loft with me I promised the kids I would get the kiddie pool out when we get home.  I struggled with the air compressor and ended up having to blow it up myself.  Elizabeth comments, "Mommy your face is really red."  (note the date...6/29/12....it must have been 100 degrees plus outside!)

Oh, shoot there were only 6 pieces of paper.  Well it shouldn't be too hard to do better next year!

We celebrated the New Year with the neighbors.  Grant and I came home at 10:00.  Elizabeth and Brandon stuck in out until 1:00 am!  Happy New Year!
