Winters aren’t supposed to be crazy!
Winter is the time of the year when we are supposed to all cuddle up in our comfy clothes next to the fireplace with cups of cocoa and a big bag of popcorn while watching movies. At least that is how I like to spend my winters, however this winter has been pretty busy for us. My husband had a lot of travel last month, which left me entertaining the boys. Don’t get me wrong, we had a lot of fun, relaxing or should I say crazy nights at home in front of the fireplace. I’m not sure my boys know how to sit still and relax, so I’ll just go with crazy, but I love their energy and just wish I had half of it!
I have found myself browsing online for the perfect vacation spot the last couple of weeks. I am so ready for winter to be over and spring/summer to be here. I can’t wait to get outdoors without having to worry about slipping on ice and falling, or wet boots tracking snow throughout my newly mopped floors.
My 5 year old came up to me earlier today with something I found quite funny. Our conversation went a little like this…
5 year old: Mom, when we go on vacation this year can we go to the North Pole?
Me: No buddy, I don’t think we can go to the North Pole this year. It’s quite cold there and I was thinking of going someplace a little warmer, besides it’s pretty far away.
5 year old: It’s not THAT cold because Santa lives there, and it’s not THAT far away because Santa comes here in a day.
Me: Well, you do have a point, but I think Santa’s magic sleigh probably helps get him here faster, and we don’t have a magic sleigh.
5 year old: Mom, Santa’s sleigh isn’t magic, the reindeer are. You should know that.
That was the end of the conversation.
I’m really starting to feel uncool because lately my boys have been pointing out things that I should know, but apparently don’t.
For instance, the other day my 10 year old asks me a question and I say, I’m not sure, why don’t you google it? (I’m bad about that, no dictionaries or encyclopedias here, we GOOGLE.)
My 10 year old, who was given a Netbook by the school to do homework on, looks at me and says, Mom, no one googles anymore.
I’m like What? You don’t google? Everyone googles!
Seriously kid, what are YOU talking about?
He looks at me and says, Mom you are behind in times, we BING!
They crack me up! (But I still google even if it does mean I’m old!)
Speaking of old…My birthday, which to some is considered a milestone birthday, is only 9 days away!
Can you guess how old I will be?
