Scarlett's Book

John was home today due to the New Year holiday! We began the day with a hearty eggs and bacon breakfast and decided to load the car up and head to a state park to hike the day away!  Matilda (our 90lb GINORMOUS weimerener) joined us for the day.  It was a beautiful 50 degrees out.  John sported the Kelty hiking backpack with Scarlett aboard, and I wore Emmett in the Ergo :) 

Scarlett took her normal evening nap.  I say "evening" because my child likes to stay up until 11pm and sleep until 9:30am... therefore her nap occurs around 3/3:30/ 4:00pm.  For most families,  this may seem crazy, but it works for our family!  We co-sleep with our kids (a family bed) and don't mind them on our schedule.

Anyway - back to today's resolution.  After Scarlett's nap, we ate a few bowls of homemade gumbo, enjoyed a glass of wine and began on Scarlett's "book."  Scarlett wanted to talk about her walking stick from the hike today.  We took the idea and ran with it.  Here is what we came up with:















What a wonderful keepsake from the day. I am loving these resolutions!

Tomorrow's Resolution:  Donate Books to the Library!  (Perfect because it is storytime tomorrow! These picks are working out wonderfully so far!!)
