Baby, It's Cold Outside

Here's what's going on in the Holman household:

• Banks is learning to ride the tricycle.
• His legs are about an inch too short for the full pedal rotation.
• We've thought of tying some styrofoam blocks to the pedal to help his little legs.
• Hughes has been forced to ride either his scooter or bike.
• We haven't been outside to play in about two weeks.
• I finally broke down today and went outside for a quick bike ride.
• Law school starts back tonight for David.
• The one thing I love about this time of year are the oyster roasts - YUM!
• I'm dreaming of warmer weather and beach vacations.
• Hughes and I have been working on the alphabet during his quiet time.
• Hughes drew a picture about volcanoes and hot lava today at school.
• Banks used the potty today on his own accord - I was totally surprised!
• I'm sweating everybody out of our house with our logs on.
• Charlie is going to have a rude awakening when this weather warms up and he's back outside all day. (FYI Charlie is our dog)
• I'm ordering Charlie a bark collar tonight - one that will bring him to his knees!
• We missed church pictures for the directory because I totally forgot about it. Not because we haven't been there.
• I made beef stew using bloody mary mix again and it is so delicious.
• David will have it for lunch tomorrow.
• I must have messed up the salt because it's a little (a lot) too salty. Oh well.
