2:30am - I am NOT in high school anymore

So, last night I went over to Hilary's and watched 500 days of summer. It was a pretty good movie, besides the ending I did not appreciate. Anyway, we chatted and ate ice cream and cake until TWO THIRTY in the morning. It was when I was groggily driving home to my precious bed that I realized I am hardly capable of staying up half the night anymore. High School and College days are over. Now I am a "responsible" adult with children and a hubby. Although I do dearly love my friend, I think we should start our night earlier next time. I am not really sure how I will make it through today, but here is to amazing friends that you CAN stay up half the night with and want to keep talking with and never run out of things to say. I love you Hil!!!

Fun Near Year's Eve

So, yesterday was a fun and eventful day. I did NOT sleep in even though I finally had a day off of work, however I did get a lot accomplished. Let's see... I woke up early and went to Lowe's to FINALLY get the paint I need to finish the room that will be the boy's room when I am brave enough to move the twins out of their cribs. I only have one wall left to paint and now I can.. yeehaw!!

Then later, Monica and I went to IKEA and I got some toyboxes for their rooms. I put one together this morning myself...very easy one.

That evening, kids to a babysitter and the girls to dinner while the boys went to the Insight Bowl!!! Mom, Marne, me and Monica all went to PF Chengs... yummy!!!!!!! Lettuce wraps... anyone??? Just thinking about it makes me drool. It was fun to just relax with no children and just chat.

Later, I took the kids to a party our family was invited to. It was at a nice house and there were LOTS of kids... mine being the youngest. We had fry bread and delicious treats and I ate even though I was still full.... John played cards with the adults and I watched a movie with Rachelle and ran after my hoodlums. The kicker was that we stayed until just after midnight and the twins STAYED AWAKE. Andrew fell asleep around 11pm and the babies didn't hit their wall until 11:30pm. It was nuts. Minutes after midnight, we were in the car and headed home with three sleeping children in tow. They all slept until TEN this morning which was a New Year's gift for mommy!!!!

I threw in this picture just becuase I wanted to. It was at my parent's church Christmas party.. love it!!

HAPPY NEW YEARS TO EVERYONE NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE OR WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
