Big Day!

I rang in the new year safely ensconsed in my flannel PJ's fast asleep in my own bed. I'm such a party animal!

Yesterday we took the FarmHands to see The Tale of Desparaeux after a quick trip to Rural King & Wal-Mart. They loved it...at least the older three did. Bitsy & I missed the last ten minutes of the movie because she needed to look at her self in the lobby mirrors & flirt with the teenage boy helping assemble a giant cardboard stand-up for Night at the Museum 2.

After that we headed to Pizza Hut & ordered pizzas with the kids' Book-It certificates, then off to see the Christmas Lights at the Park & finish grocery shopping at Wal-Mart. Today they told their Uncle E, "We had a very busy day yesterday! We were gone ALL DAY LONG!"

Uncle E & Aunt C & their kids babysat all 4 FarmHands this morning so we could run into town to visit with a cousin & his wife who gave birth to their second son yesterday morning. Baby I weighed in at 6 lbs. 5 ounces & is 19 inches long. He's only 1 oz bigger than Bitsy was when she was born. So tiny. I told Husband it's a good thing I had my tubes tied after Bitsy or I'd stand a pretty good chance of getting baby crazy again.

I'm trying to gear myself back up for school to start again. I've gotten spoiled having Husband home all this time....I'm not ready to send him back to work on Monday. But then again, I am very glad he has a job to return to when so many don't.
