New year's day we went sailing with Grandma Cyn and Papa Bill. You would think all of these kids do not fit on one sailboat, but we did it and managed to take 2 additional adults along as well (Cindy and her son Chris). It was a great day. Well, I was grumpy, but other than that, everyone else had a great time.
After sailing we went back and did some laundry since our dryer was still out of commission. (There are still two baskets of laundry there to this day - we'll have to pick them up on our next trip, Thanks Grandma!)
January 2nd was a busy day of running errands. Our friends (the family of one of our babysitters) had an extra dryer they weren't using and were nice enough to give it to us! We also went to the swap meet in Riverside and looked for seat covers for the new van. Didn't find them, but mom got sunglasses and a purse. Hattie got 2 pairs of shoes! And each of the children got to spend $1 on a little toy. It was fun. We went back in the evening for the Drive-In movie. It was our family's first experience at the drive-in and I think we survived it well. The kids watched The Princess and the Frog while mom, dad and Janey slept in the back. Then we switched for The Blind Side. The boys eventually fell asleep in the back, while Dad and the girls all stayed up for the movie.
Sunday was full with church and hanging around the house. And here we are on Monday. We were smart enough to make a list of things to do (last night) and have made it most of the way through! Feeling productive. It's our first day back at school after the Christmas break. So we are easing into action...
I hope this post made a little sense as I was trying to post a lot in a short amount of time. OH yes! We also got new next-door neighbors. They have an 8 year old girl, a young boy (maybe 4 or 5??) and a baby boy, 7 months. I think we can usually match most families child for child... We look forward to getting to know them more.
