It's a New Year! Lots of things in store for me and my family this year! Looking forward to the new and wonderful blessings in this coming year. I hope the same to all my readers!
It was pretty quiet for us on New Years Eve. We put Evan down to sleep about 10ish. Last year he stayed up to watch the ball drop with us, he was pretty grumpy. So, this year -- we ended up lighting up some fireworks, then got him ready for bed. Since being out from school, he has been slacking on his naps - that includes New Years Eve. No complaints from him - he went straight to bed. I too got ready for bed and laid down a bit. I guess all of my day activities had wiped me out. In the meanwhile, Mr. Early was enjoying his time sipping on some cheap wine and catching up on his pre-recorded mechanic shows on TV. About 11:45 - I awoke and went into the living room to join Cy. About 8 minutes later (before midnight), my parents dropped by and watched the ball drop too. Yeah... it was very relaxing - not having to entertain or go out.
Spent all day Saturday at home. I couldn't believe it. WE STAYED HOME - didn't go anywhere! Hadn't done that in a very long time. We did get lots of things done. I ended up packing up all our Christmas decorations. And we also knocked down Evan's cool bed to a regular twin bed. He doesn't have his slide attached to his bed anymore. Being this is the 2nd day of no slide -- he has said he really liked his new bed. Even told our waitress at Hudson's Smokehouse that he got a new bed. So, I guess he really does like it! This is the transitioning part for him. We want to get him acclimated to his new room setup before his little brother arrives next month. I must say, he has adjusted to this pretty well. The other thing I did was get the laundry room/craft room/scrap booking closet organized. I'm going on another crop this coming weekend and need to get my stuff organized. Still working on Evan's ABC album and plan to give it to him when we're at the hospital. It'll be a little gift to him from me. I need to get cranking. I'm only on the letter J.
As I type this - Cy is down in the basement messing with our new wood burning furnace he installed. Wait, wait -- I take that back - he was outside chopping wood or getting more wood for the furnace. He has literally worked on it all day today. From the time we got home from church this morning till now. He's been non-stop. We are hoping this will bring our electric bill down, down, down. I took some pictures, but will post them tomorrow. Forgot my usb cord at work.
Well, now I hear him in the kitchen - better go check on him. He's starting to dwindle down and that means cuddle time on the couch with him. :)
Gute Nacht!
