Winter Blahs!

Well I've officially got the winter blahs!! Even though it has been super nice out and much warmer than usual I'm still in the blah post-holiday mood! It's not a bad mood--just blah! We don't have much going on and then in another sense we have a lot going on! Last Sunday Ellie started basketball. This is her 2nd season playing bb and she was super excited. She is on the same team with girls from her school and has the same wonderful coach! They played their 1st game without having a practice and overall did great. It was so fun to watch the progression of the team last year and I'm sure it will be the same this year. Ellie is getting better at dribbling and really wants to make baskets. I keep telling her that sometimes it's more important to be the point guard rather than the shooter (if that makes sense in basketball-eeze!) We love going to the CU women's games so maybe this will be her sport!
On Monday our Brownie troop met and for the 2nd year in a row we made fleece-tie blankets to donate to a local charity. The girls love it and they are so easy to make--even I can do it! I love instilling the love of donating and being charitable with the troop. They seem to kind of be getting the idea!

Warm January day at the zoo with Jasmine, Lucy and Henry!

And like I said it has been unseasonably warm most of this winter so Jack and I took advantage of the nice weather this week and went to the zoo with some friends. Who doesn't love the zoo on a January day--no crowds, nice weather--perfect time to go. I could spend all day at the zoo and we are at a point that Jack doesn't need the stroller so we just wander around. Of course today the temp is 15 degrees so never fear winter is here :( We are looking forward to celebrating Jack's 4th birthday in just a couple of weeks--I can't believe it's been 4 yrs...makes me sooooooo sad. Hopefully that will make the dull, boring month of January go just a little bit faster!!
