In Case I Forget, Again.

I believe it is a common thing after the new year to have trouble remembering to write the date correctly, spending the last twelve months writing one number and then suddenly a ball drops and we have to start writing a new number.

How long is it acceptable to keep making this mistake into the New Year?

And just out of curiosity, how bad does it look if you write the year from two years ago?

About a week ago I was filling out a bunch of forms that I had to sign and date, and I kept writing 2010.  Embarrassing.

I post this as a reminder to myself.  The New Year is here. It is on its way to not being the "new year" anymore, but just the standard year that we all live in (until the next new year rolls around).  You celebrated this "new year".  Remember?  You and Devin and the girls made party hats?  And you marched around the house yelling "Happy New Year!" while banging on pots and skillets with wooden spoons?  REMEMBER?

Ok, so stay with me, here's the important part.  It is now the year 2012.  Not 2011. And most CERTAINLY not 2010. So don't write that. Ever again.

    I hear ya. Last October I narrated a video of a family trip to an orchard and announced the date as 2009. Awkward.

    That is an awesome resolution. Ha. :) I feel that!

    And I LOVE the hats, and what a fun idea to bang the pots and pans. I bet the girls LOVED it.

    Were those my wooden spoons? :) tee hee

    I noticed in my journal last night that I had only written 2012 twice since the year changed. Whoops!

    Another milestone in life. My wife discovered how confusing it can be to grocery stores and banks when you sign your check with your maiden name. Love, grandpa H.

    Ha ha. When I was in 7th grade, one of my teachers asked me what grade I was in, and I said 5th. So I empathize.

    I recently signed something and dated it Jan 24, 2000. But my favorite writing-the-date-wrong incendent happened a few years ago when I signed and dated something on my birthday and wrote November 28, 1957. Oops!

ThanksGIVEaway

This giveaway is now CLOSED. In a week we will find ourselves feasting with family and friends.  We will reflect on and share with each other the good things in life that we are grateful for.  And I think that's great, to give thanks. My heart lately though has been leaning in a slightly different direction, I've felt an emphasis on a different part of the name of next week's holiday.  My heart is filled with gratitude to people who have reached out in love, sympathy, and support when they see others in need..  Those who have voiced prayers, and kind thoughts and words on our behalf, and on behalf of people seeking comfort everywhere.  The people who have watched children, sent flowers, made meals, and done so much more to try and ease burdens.  And my thankful heart wants to GIVE back to these people, as a small way of saying Thank You. So today I present you with my ThanksGIVEaway.  You know those big fancy blogs that are sponsored by corporat...

Come Take a Tour

This is the longest post of all time, but that's because of all the pictures. So I know I shouldn't let myself get carried away since we still have the inspection to go, but... I feel like we've won half the battle, so I will show you pictures now. This backyard is one of the  main reasons I wanted this house.  It is on a corner lot, and it is really quite large.  It extends just as far off to the left.  Here you can sort of see the nice swingset we've inherited also, which Hallie will love as it has swings and a slide. This is the playhouse in the backyard.  It's about nine square feet inside, and has electrical set up and in the spring/summer you can tell it is landscaped.  My girls will be a little spoiled. This is the first thing you see when you walk in the house, aside from the stairs which you can barely see in the left corner.  It is a formal dining, but we may use it as a formal sitting room. This is the front door, with the stair...

Which One?

Look, I know I ask for your help a lot, but you guys are just so good at being helpful, and I am so bad at making decisions. I have about ten posts that I have wanted to write, but I spent a ridiculously silly amount of time on these pictures instead, and now I can't decide which is better.  That's your cue to step up and say you'd love to help, so that I can free up my brain to tell you all the other things I've been wanting to tell you. (Oreos are involved, so get excited.) What I do is I take pictures that represent the words of the song I am teaching and then I hold up the page for the line and they (hopefully) remember the words and know what to sing, until they have the song memorized. I do this because about half the kids are too young to read, or read very well.  Now you know what I do at church on Sunday. The line of the song in question that I have to teach the kids is "for all His creations of which I'm a part".  Originally I just took ...
