Dinner preparation in our house is often a family affair! I treasure these moments with my older boys so much while they're home from college!

366 Days of Pictures in 2012!
Many people make resolutions for the new year. I do too. Every year I say that I'm going to lose weight, get healthy, etc. This year I have resolved myself to take at least one picture a day every day for 366 days!
I have seen many people do 365 day photography challenges. Many months ago I had decided that I was going to do a year long photography challenge starting the first of the year. I have truly admired those who have taken on this task. I'm going to do the best that I can to step up to that challenge and post at least one picture a day for the rest of the year. Unfortunately, I did not post starting yesterday, fortunately I did take photographs yesterday! So my first post is actually for day 1 and 2. So here goes!
Day 1-1/1/2012:

Day 1-1/1/2012:
I love watching the kids playing with their Christmas gifts after Christmas. This is my son dancing along to the Black Eyed Peas Experience on WII. My other son was also playing along but hid upon seeing the camera.
Day 2-1/2/2012:
It's a bit of a tradition in Casa Chaos that after New Years we "puzzle". Yes that's "puzzle" as a verb! I very much enjoy puzzling! It is extremely relaxing and everyone young and old can join in! This particular puzzle is a 2000 piece jobby that will take some time to finish. My older boys leave to go back to college on Sunday so hopefully we'll finish before then!
So here's to the start of my 366 day photo challenge for myself. Maybe you should challenge yourself too! It doesn't have to be photos, maybe your passion is drawing pictures. just challenge yourself to do something that YOU love consistently everyday in 2012!
Happy 2012 from all of us here at
Casa Chaos!

The Last Day of "School" for 2011
I'm a little late on this post. Our last day was actually Friday. We woke up to a phenomenal sunrise coming up over the trees. The view from my bedroom window was spectacular! It made me want to throw clothes on and run out to take pictures by the lake, but alas I was too cold and didn't want to scare the neighbors if seen. So I simply opened my window and started shooting. Here was the view from my window:
It would have been much more magnanimous beyond the trees by the lake, but the view was still uplifting none the less.
The kiddos were pretty excited about the prospect of Christmas break (especially the part about the boys coming home from college later that day) so in true form they dressed for the occasion.
The girl chose the princess/fairy look
The boy chose the pajama look.
So after a bit of history (Story of the World Vol. 2) which included some map work, color pages, and history trivia regarding the adventures of Marco Polo, we did some math, The boy finished one of his American Chillers books, the princess read about Kit Kittredge and her newspaper reporting. After that, we cut out gingerbread men, stockings, and snowmen. By that time we needed to move on to CHRISTMAS BREAK!
All is right with the world!

Keeping things in perspective....
I have been neglecting my blog lately, not with out good reason though. This time of year brings with it faithfulness, family, good cheer, reflection, colder weather, and a lot of hustle and bustle.
This passed weekend for example, was spent celebrating my grand baby's first birthday.
This passed weekend for example, was spent celebrating my grand baby's first birthday.
I put together a video memorializing her first year and couldn't stop crying while I did it. Time just flies so quickly. It seems like just yesterday I was celebrating her mother's first birthday!
So while preparing for my grand baby's birthday, as well as the holiday season, the wee one's and I are still trying to get through some school prior to taking some time off for our Christmas break.
As well as trying to get in some out door time too!
This season can get hectic and we are all susceptible to losing track of the most important things; The reason for the season and our families, so I try to remind myself at those hectic busy moments and take time to reflect to keep things in perspective.
