Happy New Year's everyone!! We hope you all have enjoyed the last day of 2008 and the first day of 2009! Matt was off both of these days, so maybe that means we will be seeing more of him this year - ha - wishful thinking!! We cleaned the whole house yesterday, putting away all of the Christmas decorations. We had a lot of help! All three of these little monkeys were helping hand Matt stuff into the attic. We really enjoyed them participating, it made it fun to put everything away! Then we took the kids to my parent's house while we went out to eat with TJ and Deanna to Outback. Yummy! Then we went bowling. Of course all the lanes were taken, but luckily for us we had an awesome salesman with us, Matt, and he got us a lane!! He is such a talker, but it worked out for us. So we bowled for an hour and a half with Jeff and Heather too. It was lots of fun, partly because I won the last round!! I have never bowled over 100 in my life and I got 100 in the 7th frame - we couldn't finish because the time was up. We picked up the kids and headed home around 11:30 - Carly and Chloe were up the whole time - they almost made it to midnight, but I could barely keep my eyes open, so they went straight to bed when we got home.
Here is Harper and Carly on top of the ladder. They were helping change the air filters in the house. Harper could climb up and down that ladder all by himself! He has no fear! He would stand at the second from the top and hold his hands up - kind of like he enjoyed the thrill of being hands free!!
Money, Money: I made a can of collards and a can of black eyed peas. Collards is supposed to give you money this year and peas - luck. What is it with money?! I told the girls that they needed to eat the collards so they will get lots of money for their piggy banks this year - man, they gobbled those things up!!! Can you believe my 3 yr. olds ate collards so this year they will get coins for their pigs!! Money sure does motivate a lot of our actions.
