We had a pretty uneventful week - on New Years Eve, we sent the kids to bed at the usual time and I did a puzzle while we watched a movie - then we popped the lid on our sparkling cider right before midnight took a couple pictures and went to bed. The next day, Eileen realized that it was New Year's Day and kept asking about how we were going to celebrate - were we going to a party? could we watch a new years movie? What could we do??? She was not very happy that the grownups had their own little party after they were in bed. :)
The kids were out of school all week - so they are going TOTALLY stir crazy - weather has been too cool for doing much outside. Dan went back to work on Wednesday - which meant that he went to work in the morning, then got home around 5:30 - ate dinner with us, got the kids to bed - then went downstairs and worked a 6 hour night..... He's thinking of asking for overtime.... :) He even had to spend most of Saturday working.
On Thursday, Crystal came over so we could meet about the primary music and get the program figured out - (It's so nice to have that all organized now!! I love being organized!) and she brought her kids over to play. They all seemed to have a fun time and poor Crystal must have thought that I was stir crazy too - since i kept her there overly long with my talking after we were done and kept giving her recipes and food to take home....
Saturday was my turn to go help clean the building that our choir rehearses at - the girls all wanted to come - so we went and cleaned windows and bathrooms and the kitchen and in less time than we imagined, we found ourselves done and on the way home - the girls were great though - so helpful and cute. :)
Today was an adventure. Our first week with church at 1:00 pm - it wasn't nearly as painful as we were afraid. James actually got a decent nap in before church - the kids had lunch, so they weren't hungry, And while James wanted another little nap after church, he did fine during church. Evelyn had her first day as a Sunbeam - she was so cute - she did such a good job of sitting reverently and paying attention - she sang during singing time and waved at me while I was sitting down. :) Nursery was much easier without my 3 year old daughter hanging on me - demanding my lap and climbing on my back.
After dinner, we all went downstairs to play - Dan got out some blocks and Aaron's "Angry Birds" Hot Wheels stuff and we spent an hour building 'castles with pigs' and knocking them over with flying Hot Wheel Angry Birds. The kids had a blast - They totally got into it and we had a nice evening playing together.
Dan asked Eileen and Anna if they were excited to go back to school tomorrow - and both gave an emphatic yes - I guess I'm just too boring now. :)
