01/26/05 Vacuum, beltloops and nap time

1/26/2005 LETTER TO BECKY

Holly and Dallas at Christmas time
Did you get a bagless vacuum?  I love mine.  You can dump that bucket full of all your dirt and see just how much crap there was lying around.  I feel a sense of accomplishment every time I use it.  I got mine at Christmas time and I still love to use it – a year ago Christmas time.  So maybe you’ll enjoy it for a long time!  

You may want to get a 2nd for downstairs just so you don’t break yours running it up and down the steps.

We are doing the art beltloop and pin this month – so we are doing fun art projects.  Painting, drawing, sculpting with playdough, sand art, etc.  We went to a museum last week.  We will finish up both this Thursday and everybody that came all 3 weeks this month will get 2 awards at next Pack Meeting.  They love that.  It makes it easy to plan your meetings too.  Bryce has just 2 or 3 things to finish up to get his wolf and we just keep not doing them.  Dumb!  Dallas finished his Bear and got it last month.  He’ll be a Webelos in April.  I can’t believe how quickly they grow up!  

Holly is a pleasant little thing.  She has a cold right now but should be done with it soon.  She has started sleeping a little longer and is starting to have a little routine.  She has even been taking a 2 hour nap some days.  

We are so busy I sometimes wonder how we get it all done.  They boys are 2 weeks from finishing basketball season, they are in scouts of course.  Aj was in honor band and did a special concert a couple of weeks ago.  
Anyway – things are good here – busy like crazy but good. 
Holly loves her raviolis!  Now that's Italian!
