Part I: 2 + 2 is Chicken

Seems like I've been keeping a mental note for the last month-ish of things to document, but haven't been finding ANY time to do it! Therefore, in a rash, un-Tracy like move, I'm jumping in, in no particular order (Am I capable of this?? That sound you hear is me starting to hyperventilate), with what's left in my brain before I lose it forever. I have no idea where the list will end or what it will include...we'll just see how my memory does and if I can stick to the carefree-abstractness of it all. Aren't you intrigued?

#1. We already talked about Logan's birthday, but the other October birthday in the family is MINE! Most moms would skip over this, but I love my birthday. Even more, I love looking forward to my birthday. Don't know why, but I do. I also love that I, like my own mother, can actually forget how old I am turning. It seems like it's become a tradition to take a picture of me with my kids from year to year and I love seeing how this picture changes. Here's this year's version:


#2. Crazy Hair Day for Red Ribbon Week, always a fun day:

#3. Speaking of hair, one day Connor decided to give Logan a new look. Logan did not care for it.

#4. Cozy boys with their blankies. "Bainies" if you ask Fisher. I can't express how much they la-ove them. I can't say I blame them. I still have my blankie, you know.

#5. After a lateover with a friend one night, Maddie came home as this:

"This" was what was left of she and her friend dressing up like hippies and writing a song...about nature....lots of ellipses needed here. I wish I'd gotten it on video, it was hilarious. Imagine her swaying the peace sign and speaking in an ethereal voice... "Sway with me...Let the wind flow through your fingers..." She's a goof.

#6. Change of Calling
After I finish Young Women in Excellence next month, I'll switch gears from Personal Progress Leader to Girls Camp Director! Yikes. How perfect that I love camping SO much! Oh wait... Lucky for me (and everyone else), I was the assistant to the camp director of the universe for YW camp this year, so I've got a good example to follow. Or a hard act to follow. Or both. Definitely both.

To be continued...time to go breathe in a bag.
