Little moments.

We've taken it easy this winter break.  Mostly because I came down with a wicked cold over Christmas...the kind that stubbornly lingers.  But we're enjoying ourselves nevertheless.  I thought I'd share some shots of the last few days of the little ones and what they do to entertain themselves when I'm not up to it...

1.  Show their toys some love...

2.  Test out new Christmas toys, especially ones that zip about surprisingly-fall-off-your-seat fast when used on multi-level floor plans...

3.  Read together...

4.  Read alone...

5.  Rearrange furniture to make "bridges" and climb where they are not supposed to...

6.  Distract me from reacting to climbing infractions by giving adorable brotherly hugs...

7.  Pause without complaint for a shot that had great potential if it weren't for this slow-moving momma who forget to adjust the camera's aperture to get them all in focus (grrrr you, manual mode, I shake my fists at you!)...

And yes, pajamas have been worn all day, many days this vacation.  By me too.  But we're getting back to reality.  The boys head back to school this week.  And I have a rather large volunteer obligation that, for the most part, wraps on Jan. 10th.  So stay with me if you like...I will be back.  I'm sure all of you have hit the ground running as of January 1.  But FYI: January 11th is when I start looking at the New Year like it's a shiny, new plaything.
