One Proud Mama

Christmas was a great success! The kids got spoiled as usual. Is is me, or does everything take batteries nowadays? It should be illegal to not include an on/off button on toys! Oh well, the kids love it and I think I say the same thing every year.

The addition on the house is as done as it’s going to get this winter. We’ve got some paint touchups to do and we have to finish reattaching the deck to the house as well as put shelves in the closet and that kind of stuff, but we’re definitely done and using it now. There’s some finished pics in the gallery of the inside of the new room. I’ll get some new outside pics when it’s not so cold outside!

We spend much of our time in the new living room now, and laundry is definitely easier now that the washer and dryer are not in the bathroom closet anymore. It sure didn’t take long for the kids to fill it with toys! We can park both the van and the truck in the garage for the first time ever. Mike is really going to enjoy not having to brush the snow off the truck before he goes to work in the mornings - that is if we ever get any snow!

Well, gotta run - Chris has somehow found a jar of vaseline (God only knows where from) and I better go chase him down.
