Squeezing It In

I could be talking about getting into my pants these days...but I'm not.  I know you are so glad.

My mom and dad have been here for four days, and are here for the remainder of this week.  Nine days total.  And so far we have celebrated New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, Christmas (a little late), Michaela's birthday, watched Julie and Julia, and gone grocery shopping. 

You might not think that last one fits...but when we're all together, it's an event.  There are coupons involved.

As usual, we are trying to squeeze in all that we can.  Michaela has yet to have her birthday party with a couple of friends (that's coming up later this week).  And we toyed with the idea of traveling to Houston for the Narnia exhibit at the science museum...but an eight hour drive (that's an optimistic time) didn't sound appealing to anyone after all, especially in light of my parents' recent adventure in an automobile. 

We have just been enjoying one another.  We laugh a lot when we're together.  I have to confess, there is some potty humor.  But we try to control ourselves until the kids are in bed.  We don't want to be bad examples. 

We need to play Scrabble.  We need to go to Ikea.  We need to do the dishes.

Hey!  Who said that?!

I suppose I do have to go and take care of that...I'll be sorry tomorrow if I don't.  I hope that everyone is having a good start to a new year.  Remember to fill in the year blank with 2010!  I always have such a hard time with that transition.

Would you please have your mom stop here on her way home to do my grocery shopping? I hate that chore!

Hahha! Potty humor...we do that here too. It's so immature, it's hilarious! :o)
