Same Old, Same Old

Sometimes I don’t blog because my schedule is packed and sometimes I don’t blog because of sick kids.

Other times I don’t blog because life is just life.  Nothing exciting or different happened.  Nothing particularly cute was said.  We were happy and content, but that gets a bit old to say.

That’s how most of January was.  Same old, same old.

I gave Bobby a hair cut and nicked his ear with the scissors.  Such a bad mom moment.  To add salt to my guilt, the darn thing bled and bled.  At least he still looked cute with a band-aid on his ear for a few days … (and the hair cut was actually pretty good, too)

Okay, so maybe his cuteness will never be considered “same old, same old”….
