Well This year I got an early Christmas this year when the kids went to Columbus for the week before Christmas. I know it sounds bad to be happy your kids are gone but hey I am a single mom who rarely gets time off so even though I did have to work I didn't have to make dinner or put anyone but me to bed and there was a definate lack of Whining for 9 whole days. It was great but it was good when they came back too.
Christmas was nice this year, with the kids getting older it is getting harder or at least more expensive to find things for them but Taryn has shown an interest in Volleyball lately so starting next week she will be starting a skills class at Adventure Plex and while she it hitting the ball Zack got the Gift of Climbing in there play structure ( Think Mc Donalds playland on steroids ) They also recieved lots of Games for Christmas so Family time has gotten a little more competative with Scene it Pirates 3 and Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader DVD. I have to admit some of those questions are hard but I can still beat it. I took the week of Christmas off work and the kids and I had fun just playing at home and spending there Christmas $$$. Taryn bought herself a new bed and is settling in to her room slowly ie.. she still hasn't put everything away yet. And Zack has used his money for toys, toys, and more toys and he still has money to burn. Oh well he is happy.
New Years was a quiet day for us we ended up staying home and watching movies. Zack almost made it till the new year but fell about a 1/2 an hour short. I woke him up at 2 minutes til and we watched the ball drop before I carried him to bed. Man he is heavy next year he will have to walk himself.
This week I am trying to get back in the swing of work but my heart just isn't in it, to borrow a quote from Zack "it is taking like 50 billion years for this week to end." The kids are at Winter Camp at the rec center and in the last two days they have gone to see the Rose Parade Floats and Roller skating. Today is supposed to be a quiet day at the Nakaoka Center watching movies and playing games. Next week is back to school it will be tough after three weeks off for them but I think they are looking forward to getting back to normal, or at least as normal as our lives ever get around here.
Hope your holidays have been good to you and we wish you a wonderful New Year. To everyone we haven't seen in a while we miss you.
