Happy New Years Eve!! :)

Hello All,
the time is almost here for 2008. I can not believe the year has gone by so fast. Where did 2007 go? Well, another year awaits. The kids and i miss our normal schedules and activities. We have been in a vacation mode since December 15th, 2007. So, it kind of feels a little drab after awhile. :) It was nice to see family and friends, to cook lots and lots of goodies, and to spend time with each other.
Enzo is so ready to go back to school. He wakes up at 7am every morning and brushes his teeth, combs his hair, and then gets his book bag. As for Ales, he would rather sleep until 10am. We have never been sleepy heads, but when there is no schedule--we tend to sleep in, but not for long.
This week, I have been trying to do a before-new-year house cleaning. I have arranged the bookshelves and the kids bookshelves. It was a mess. I have collected all of the old clothes, toys, and misc. items to donate. I have thoroughly dusted under beds, closets, attic, and all of the rooms. Washed all the clothes and folded and put them away. Luis cleaned the yard, the car (inside and out) by hand, and changed the oil. He is such a big help. Oh yeah, he did the dishes this morning too. :)
Now i feel ready for the new year. It is going to be a blast. Its just a couple of us, but it is fun. We all make a pot luck get together. So, all of us must contribute to the grub and drink. The kids all combine their fireworks together to share. The big explosives---we save for midnight. Well, I hope ya'll have a great time also. If i forget to say it later......HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! :)

That is too funny about Enzo! LOL. I can't believe you cleaned and your house is ready for the New Year...I'm slightly jealous. ;)

We're finally back on schedule too and we missed it! I wish I could be more of a free spirit.

Happy New Year!

Hey girl, belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Way to go with all the cleaning and organizing. We need to do that over here, especially to make room for all the baby stuff we are about to have to bring out again - that stuff takes up SO much room! It sounds like you had a nice break with your family. Hopefully we will all be able to get together soon, we are planning a trip to SA this summer. :)
