Memory Jar

I was on fire last night with the blogging. It was nice. Once I sat down the blog, it was easy. I guess it's just finding the time to do it. When I started I knew I would write the Randomness post, but had no idea what else I would write about. I looked back at my memory card in my camera and saw pictures from November and I started to remember the things I wanted to write about.

Last night, I also spent a little time making a Memory Jar. I found the idea on Pinterest. Yeah, just get used to hearing about Pinterest. They had a plain mason jar filled with paper.

I wanted to add a little to my jar so I went to Hobby Lobby, armed with my 40% off coupon, and purchased a jar, stickers and matching ribbons. The jar only cost around $2.49. The stickers $1.99 (they are 40% this week at Hobby Lobby). The ribbon was the most expensive at $4.99.

Throughout this year, 2012, we will write down any great memories on a piece of paper and put it in the jar. I hope to continue to do this for a couple of years at least. I think it will be a lot of fun to read them at the end of the year and remember all the fun times we've had together.

I'm sure the officer will put a memory slip in for today. He's excited because when he left for work this morning, he found the Three Stooges on tv. He used to watch it every Friday night with the kids, but for some reason they stopped airing it. The kids loved watching it with him. I don't enjoy slapstick comedy like that, so it's just something the officer and the kids do together. The officer started recording Three Stooges before he left for work and it's still going. That's about 4 hours of Three Stooges recorded so far. That's about 3 hours and 58 minutes too long for me! :)

Good times.
