The Five of Us, Spring 2014
So, This is 2009
We had a very low-key New Year's Eve here in Punk and Pea World. I decided it would be fun to break out the fondue pot and start a new tradition. The kids loved it and Punk has been begging to do it again. Only, neither of them really liked the dipping in the cheese part. The just liked eating cut up bread and veg with very long, sharp mini-forks. Sigh.
Punk also decided to start the year with a bang. On the noggin. Ouch.
I took down the tree today to make room to work on my next project, a purple quilt for Pea. Since it's been a long, long time since my last sweepins post (and because I know how much you like them, Teresa), here is my sweepins pile after we got the Christmas tree out. Can you tell how big the tree was by the size of the sweepins?!I'm not much of one for New Year's Resolutions, but coincidentally, my sis and I are starting a fitness competition. We start Monday. So, here's to a new me and her in 2009!

That is so funny! I almost took a picture of my pile today too :) My poor vacuum :0
Your hair post made me anxious to get a new do'. I think my new cut looks like yours is now. I usually go and come out looking the same!

You HAVE to take before and after pics. You can post the before when you are grinnin silly in the post. :)
Good idea on the fondue :-) This has been my family's tradition for as long as I can remember! Happy 2009 to you ... maybe we'll see you sometime this year?
