I laughed.
When is the last time I slept past 7:30?

Inspiration Award
The Girl received the Inspiration Award at school this month.
Inspiration Award: Having a cheerful, loving and joyful Spirit which brings sunshine to our classroom.
It was fun to see her get this award....she inspires our home, so it doesn't surprise me that she brings the same to her classroom.
Bowling for Presents
The Boy had his first birthday party...the Bowling Party. It was fun and chaotic and all worth it to look at his face when his friends surrounded him to sing Happy Birthday.
Should I hide the fact that I forgot the candle and matches? (Thanks P.R. for borrowing them from the party in the next lane).

New E drive
We have a new E drive and I can't get any of my pictures to post. Once I figure it out, I'll post several new ones.
Roomba...does life get better than this?
I got the Roomba for Christmas. Let me just ask "Where have you been all my life?"
Christmas Vacation
We stayed in town for the Christmas Holiday. Santa was good to the kids. Lots and Lots of presents....the highlights included a Wii, a Rip Stick, a Big Wheel and lots of Legos. All in all, everyone was happy, even the adults.
My parents and sister came over for dinner and we had a low key afternoon visiting.
For the break, we kept busy. On the agenda was:
- The Center for the Puppetry Arts http://www.puppet.org/
- A trip to the Movies
- Shopping and Hanging out with friends
- The First Emperor exhibit at the High Museum of Art https://www.high.org/
Both me and the Hubby wanted to see the Chinese Terracotta Warriors at the High. We took the kids not knowing how long they could "hang". We were shocked to spend several hours browsing the museum. The exhibit was fascinating! The terracotta warriors were over six feet tall and every one was different! Both the kids listened to the audio tour in it's entirety and want to go back again. It was the first time, in a long time, I felt like we may be moving past the "baby" stage with the kids.
Ah...my Holiday season has ended.
I feel like I can exhale!
It is the end of our Holiday season. Not only do we celebrate Christmas and the New Year but we celebrate the Boy's bday at the beginning of January. In the past we haven't done a party...not so much because he hasn't wanted one, but because it's the last thing I wanted to do.
This year he made it clear that he wanted a party. Thankfully, I was able to book a Bowling party on short notice. Many of our neighbors were able to attend so we had lots of kids at the Cosmic Bowling party. It was so much fun, although we needed to have Happy Hour for the adults afterward to unwind from the over stimulation.
