Swedish Dance
Today I learned the coolest dance. I totally have to work it into my Christmas traditions. A lady from Sweden taught it to us. Basically, you hold hands in a long line and run around the room and in and out of doors. It was awesome! Of course, we did it with about 30 people. It might loose something if it's just the three of us. I'll definitely have to teach my brothers and sisters this one. I think it will be more fun with more people. And it's from another country, so it's cultural.

Blog 365 Days- Check
*Day 365*
I did it! I was unsure about this when I started, but I made it anyway. Now, I might take a break for a bit. But I'll be back soon.
Thank you to all of you who have commented and made me feel like this was worthwhile. And thank you to those of you who read this and still like me instead of thinking I'm just a huge dork. And thank you all for not pointing out too many of my grammar and spelling mistakes, and for at least pretending like what I say makes sense. Thanks for all of you who supported me in this challenge by "following" me. It's been a good experience for me.

The Future of Blogging
*Day 364*
Well, I'm trying to decide what to do about this blog after I finish my 365 days. I might get ambitious and pretend like it's leap year and do an extra day! Just kidding. I want to keep blogging, I'm not sure how to keep my self motivated. I thought I'll blog unless it's one of those days when I can't think of anything to say. But, if it turns out to be like this month I'll be taking about 28 days off, and that would effectively be the end of my blog, because I would never get back to it. I've learned something about myself. I'm an all or nothing kind of person. Matt tried to get me to blog years ago. I think I made 2 entries. It just didn't make it to the top of my priority list. Now, he makes a challenge, and if I do it every day, I can somehow get it done. But if I say I'll blog when something big happens or when I have time or feel like it or whatever, it will never get done. It's the same way with treats for me. I can't moderate myself. I say I will, but I can't. But if I say I'm not eating any treats at all (and Matt always laughs at me) I can do it. All or nothing. Of course having a challenge motivates me a little.
When I started this blog, I was thinking along the lines of a personal history. I thought I could get some memories down and stories that Logan might like to have record of. I didn't get as much of that done as I thought I would. But, I think it will be fun to look back and see what our everyday life was like. Because I don't usually keep track of the normal stuff. So, If I keep blogging, I think I will try to get more of those things down. I just can't decide how to regulate myself so I don't start skipping and get to the point where I never blog again. So there you have it. I have one day left, and I don't know what I'm going to do. Maybe put more pictures up because I realize I've gotten kind of slacky at posting pictures.
I found a picture! I figured, why wait to fix that picture problem. I knew I had to have one of Logan I could use.

Coffeemate
*Day 363*
So, I've turned my son onto a new habit. I love drinking hot chocolate in the winter. I especially love flavored hot chocolate. But every once in a while I throw in something from my childhood. I still call it Postum. I know the container says Pero, and that they don't make the Postum brand anymore. But, I always thought they were the same thing, so, I still call it postum. Well, every now and then I have some postum. It's only good with sugar and cream. But, since I really like the flavored hot chocolate, I figured I would like the flavored coffeemate creamer in my postum. Well, I do. And now so does Logan. He never wanted to try postum before, but the other day he decided for some reason to try it. Oh, wait, I think it's because he saw the creamer. That must have looked good to him. I guess it was. He has wanted postum over hot chocolate ever since. So, first thing this morning, he asked for some postum. He eats breakfast at school every morning. And Logan has been recruiting. He turned his dad. After they shoveled on Sunday, Logan offered to make Matt a cup of postum. It's now officially a family habit. Yeah, we went to the store last night buy more postum and pick a new coffeemate. And that was our dessert last night. Mmmmmm....
