Christmas has come and gone and so has another year. Fun watching the boys tear open their presents. It took Aidan a while and he was as interested in the wrapping paper as his was the gifts at first. Finally settled on playing with his new "computer." Zack opened everything so fast, like it was a contest, he couldn't even tell us what he had received. Nick seemed to enjoy the opening AND his gifts. Yea!
We spent a quiet New Year's Eve, actually purchasing a car, then a quick dinner at our favorite local restaurant . A long process but love the new SUV. Now I have room for car seats and grandkids. Not sure what our first grandson trip will be...hmmm.
Today we celebrated Zack's 5th birthday. Can't believe he's already five! It was just a minute ago that Tommy called to tell us he'd arrived. In a few months he will start kindergarten and a new chapter in his little life. His favorite thing in the world at age 5 seems to be wrestling, well actually UFC which is just a barbaric, bloody sport of some sort. Zack loves watching UFC, WWF ? and wrestling with Nick, his dad, his grandpa, anyone that will get on the floor with him. I just tell him grandma's don't wrestle.
Zack's also discovered he likes coloring and painting and still loves Legos - thank goodness they're each a much better alternative than watching that crap on TV.
Zack got new Crayons!
We're bracing for another round of snow over the next couple of days. Glad there's no work commute to contend with. Maybe we can venture out to Hidden Valley for some skiing if we get enough snow altho' it will be so cold. Brrrr. Too bad it can't be warm & sunny for skiing. It would be so much easier!
Have to get some more stuff done tomorrow - purging closets, trying to organize the house, one room at at time...but that A.D.D. thing takes over & I find myself with multiple projects going at the same time :-(
I think a Lowe's trip is in order for a "closet" for the Laundry Room - need space to store bigger kitchen appliances and pantry overflow. Did I mention that I hate my kitchen? I'm sure I have. Cabinets are crappy (and now peeling paint 5 yrs after a painter painted them), we have a teeny tiny pantry, it's just an inefficient space that I hope to improve in 2011.
OK, enough for now.
