Our January

Our month started off with me creating multiple messes around the house.

Cleaning, sorting, re-organizing.

Keenan's rec league began games at the beginning of the month.  They're playing in a 6th/7th league so they've won a few....and lost a few.

Exams began the middle of the month for Kieran.
Because of that, and the MLK holiday last week, it's been hard to get into any type of routine
And right before the MLK weekend began, this happened:

Yup.
Braces.
I had plenty of applesauce, and pasta on hand, but he was only uncomfortable for about a day.
That was it.

Then last week the long-suffering cold that has plagued every other  member of our family caught up with me.
And in the midst of all my congestion last week, a friend passed on these little gems she found in the school office.

Gems I tell ya.
