I'm working today. We'll probably do pizza & movie night for the kids...and I will probably be asleep before 11.

Btw both kids are obsessed with We can be heroes. B is currently watching it for the 6th or 7th time in the past 5 days. I enjoy it too. Cheesy kids superhero movie. If anyone saw shark boy and lava girl (it’s like 15 years old) this is the sequel

Morning. We are going to target shortly to actually get glasses ordered. I keep putting it off but I want to get them this year so it’s my last chance. I tried to go last night at 7, because the website said they close at 8, but they were already closed when we got there. I work this evening and then right back at work tomorrow morning at 5:30 so I’m going to sleep immediately when I get home tonight.

Hi girls! It’s my dad’s birthday today, so we headed around the corner to have coffee and cake. I took dd to the fish monger to get some fried cod for dinner tonight, it was nice to have a stroll just us girls  . Dh took the kids to the dunes and were surprised by the smallest layer of snow! The kids thought it was the best thing ever. Dh and I got some appetizers for tonight, my parents will stop by for an oliebol & some sparklers with the kids. Most likely we will not make it till 12 😉. |

Hi! I had plans for a fried foods board with lots of dips —chicken tender, zucchini circles, and fries, but I decided that everything I would need to make would have to be on demand and I didn’t feel like being on demand tonight, So I’m going kind of old-school with appetizers and making pigs in a blanket, deviled eggs, and cocktail meatballs with a raw veggie tray.
I have two episodes of Bridgerton left, and I am super excited to get through it tonight. I’m sure I’ll be asleep before 12.

If anyone saw shark boy and lava girl (it’s like 15 years old) this is the sequel Josie, who is pretty anti-movie, watched both this week and enjoyed them. She’s looking for Spy Kids on the roku right now actually. |

Hi all.
I’ve just got a quick trip to the grocery store planned this morning and MH will take the kids on a ‘hike’, then I’m not sure what else is on the agenda. I’m going to set up appetizers this afternoon and then we’ll order dinner in from somewhere.

Morning.
We slept in. We don’t have any plans today because it’s supposed to rain for most of the day. 🙄 I’m making taco soup later and my dad is bringing M to buy fireworks. We may not get to do them until tomorrow depending on rain.

My kids have watched that movie everyday this week. C does have powers, he twirls on hand around the other and says it’s his power. He also calls that movie the snake neck movie and screamed for an hour when I didn’t know what he was talking about. |

Haha that happens regularly around here too. They never call anything by the title. |

I've got extra kids today. The little girl is very anti MJ today. I finally put her in time out for shoving her off the bigwheel.. they just finished lunch and everyone is playing nicely. I've actually been able to get some work done. I sent my dad to deposit my guys payroll. I need to invoice and send paystubs and I'll be good until Monday.

Happy New Year's Eve!
I'm working today. I finally got through a mountain of emails. We are allowed to leave an hour early today and I plan to. We have so much work coming through I could do a bunch of OT and still not get caught up. But since I'm not paid for it I'm not going to.
The girls will decorate gingerbread cookies today. Tonight they are excited to watch the Justin Bieber concert. I think we'll all make it until midnight. I'm really excited for yummy cheese, hummus, and pita to snack on all night.

It’s close to 7.45 here & almost an hour later than we’d normally put the kids to bed... it is melt down city... we shouldn’t do this, why do we forget this 🤦🏼♀️.

I got a Haunted Mansion board game for Christmas I was really excited about. We played it last night in the dark during a power outage. We ended up having fun but it was so confusing and convoluted. I wish the game play was much different because they could have had a really fun game, but the developers made it way too complex. MH and I both read the instructions separately and we still obviously screwed it up because we all had negative scores at the end. I love board games, but I'm not a full on gaming nerd. The complex stuff does me in. I want to have fun with something I can understand in 5 minutes.
