This is what my boys do, day in and day out. I construct an awesome and intricate train track (unfortunately, I never get a picture of that!) and they take it all to pieces and build one of these. I'll have to admit that the length is pretty impressive. It went from the dining room, living room, hallway and the buffer ended at the far end of their bedroom (which is at the end of the house). They love it!! (we sure have a lot of tracks!!)

NOt ToO ExCitIng
Owen was sick ALL week and didn't go to school. Just a nasty fever and cough. By Thursday his fever was gone and he was finally a little more chipper. But I didn't want to do too much too fast (like I have in the past) and let him miss school that day. Little did I know that he didn't have school on Friday and then, of course, no school on Monday. So he's had quite the little vacation. Too much TV and too much StarWars Wii game. It's going to be back to reality tomorrow, probably a sad day here in the Johnson household.

Sweet, Unpredictable Moments...
Last night I experienced a very sweet moment between my two boys. It made me smile and all warm and fuzzy inside.

Happy New Year and Merry Christmas, too!
I hope that everyone had a great holiday season this year...I know we did! I helped Owen's class make candy houses (simple and easy!); we had christmas parties & a program to attend; a Polar Express to catch; family to visit, especially our newest little additions to our family, Cadence (Tailona & Chauncy's baby girl) and Ashley Ann (Christopher & Emily's baby girl); snow to drive in & shovel; kids to keep on the nice list ;) and projects to make (Aidan finally has a Christmas stocking--2.75 years later!!) We have a Christmas card this year!! Clark's have a beautiful calendar, Angela & Robb have some fabulous decor, and the sisters I visit teach have some cute blocks!). I can't believe we made time for it all!
