December Ten on the Tenth

The idea is to take ten photos on the tenth of the month and share it, documenting a day of your life and the ordinary moments. There is beauty in the ordinary.

December! Max thinks this month is taking FOREVER!!!! This is the first time he really cannot wait for Christmas. I had them make a wishlist on Amazon for gift ideas, and I think seeing things that he may get really got him excited. It makes it fun for us too.

Every 10th that is a school day usually starts with some comment about how early the kids have to get up. It is hard when it is so dark and cold out. This guy didn't want to get up this Monday morning...

After they kids left for school, I did some blogging to stay somewhat caught up.

Zoey sometimes uses the expression "Rainbows and Sunshine" to express things that are good/bad. Example: "hey Zoey, we have to go to the dentist today... not rainbows and sunshine"

Anyway, when I went to unload the dishwasher (not rainbows and sunshine), I actually got a reminder to at least try and have a brighter outlook... (it was almost exactly like this by coincidence, I only moved two cups to make it even more so for the picture)...

more rainbows and sunshine... coffee with peppermint whip cream!! I found the whip cream at target when looking for some picture props. How fun. I think I need to work at Starbucks or a tea shop for a little bit sometime in my life.

Zoey has to do math homework on the computer every night.

Max hates spelling practice, so we have to come up with new ways to practice words.

Dinner...

After dinner we have been having our nightly MarioKart tournament. I always lose. Zoey is often the winner for days in a row.

When it is not Ross's turn to race, he can just fall asleep!

Max and Ross (and Zoey sometimes, she joined in tonight) have nightly "Wrestle Club" I do not join in, because at this point in the game, I just get hurt.

Hope your day and December is filled with Rainbows and Sunshine!
