New Year's Eve

Got a little wild this year. If this is what C ended up looking like, well I can't speak for the rest of us.

Just kidding!

We did have a great time at J&T's. We sat and ate--just the 4 adults. Like old times. The kids were--somewhere. Then we played band hero or guitar hero or whatever it was called. We all pretended we were in a band. We had a bass guitar, a guitar, drums (me) and a singer. It was a blast. We were there until 1:30! I say this often. I love the age/stage my kids are at. They were not at all grumpy (until right at the end. and then K got a little teary/grumpy). They all played well. So much harder to do when they are younger. And then--don't faint--my kids slept til 9:30 for K and almost 10 for C! A big deal in this household. Daddy and I were awake earlier than that (we are getting old. enjoy staying in bed till 5 brother. you'll get old one day) What a great start to a New Year.

January 1, 2010

Where has the time gone? I think time goes faster the older I get. So much happened in 2009. I was looking through pictures yesterday and was amazed how much had happened just since we went to Disney! But I love the busy-ness (most days. There are some days that I want to just do a little bit of nothing.) The busy-ness means I have a great life. I love the age/stage that my kids are at. (again-most days). They are funny, somewhat independent (one wants to be more independent than she needs to be), can help around the house, can feed/dress/potty alone, are fun to play/talk with (again................well you get the idea), and are just darn cute. Yes, we may have rough days (can you believe that?) but I wouldn't trade it for the world! And my husband. It's hard to believe that we will have been married 11 years in April and together for 15 years in August! Once again, I feel like time is flying.

OK. All that to say, I'm excited to see what this year has in store. I have 2 specific New Year's resolutions. Since I've never really made any resolutions, my first it to keep my resolutions. No, just kidding. #1: Paint C's room. Not too long ago, he mentioned that his room was boring compared to K's. And it is. Hers is green and pink and has flowers. His has white walls. So I'm going to paint it. I HATE TO PAINT! And yes, I am yelling. And to top it all off, he wants one wall Yankees (I'd like to pinstripe it and put the symbol in the middle) and the other wall Colts (I'm thinking--blue stripe with "Colts" in white down the middle). #2: To loose some weight. How much? I really don't care. "Some." How's that for specific? Ask me on December 31st how much I've lost. By the way, I've already started on this one.

I think I'm done being sentimental now. I hope everyone had a great holiday season (from Thanksgiving all the way to the New Year). We have a few more days before we have to get back to reality. Daddy took Monday off.

Happy New Year to all my many, many, many .................... Ok. Nevermind.

Happy New Year!

It's hard to believe that it is 2009! I'm excited about the upcoming year! Daddy and I will have been married 10 years this year, C will turn 7, and K will turn 3. These are all things that Daddy so nicely pointed out this morning. Let's not rush things, OK? Hope everyone had a good day. We sat around and watched football, made waffles for breakfast (only becasue we didn't have the ingredients for chocolate chip pancakes and even then we ran out of syrup), played with the kids, gave baths, did laundry, oh and I got to organize some scrapbook stuff. So actually, I guess it was a busy day. Oh well. It was a good day. Tomorrow we have errands to run and the tree to take down. And pictures at church for the directory. Maybe Saturday will be a little slower. Happy New Year!
