New Year's Resolution - Blogging

So, I am going to try again at Blogging. While I don't really know if anyone even reads these anymore or not...at least it will serve as a diary for my Children!!

Today...was action packed.

We woke up late....ran to Helena to pick up a pair of pants that needed to go Tuscaloosa. Came home...took showers/baths....finished up some orders to be mailed....got a visit from sweet Tori...played with the cleaning folks instead of helping them....loaded up...and headed to Tuscaloosa to deliver some orders.

I didn't realize that Fedex was closed several days over the new Years so I had some committments on orders that needed to be met today. While I was in Tuscaloosa, I planned on getting Gibson some new shoes and then run into the fabric store. Little did I know, the shoe place that love was having a huge moving sale...today only!! Yeah me!! So, 32 pairs of shoes later...we finished our shoe shopping...for both kids...for the next 3 years! :)

Afterwards, the new puppy, the kids and I headed to Laura's where we ordered pizza and the kids played with the puppy. I ran to the sewing store...bought one yard of fabric...came back to Laura's ate....and then came home. The kids crashed...and so did the puppy.

January 2nd - Relaxing Day

We are still in relaxation mode here at the Holland house. I believe it is because we have run non stop for the past 2 months! Matt woke up and worked out...I slept in. Once the kids woke up around 10, Matt took LeLe to Mark's Outdoors, Chunky Cheese, Bass Pro Shoppe and then to the fireworks store. Unfortunately, more than half the stores were closed. But, she got cotton candy from Bass Pro along with a horse that makes noise...and is one happy little girl.

Gibson and I ran a couple of errands and then came back home. Once LeLe got home, we all took naps...except Matt of course...woke up...ate dinner...played and sewed...and then went back to bed...

Nothing like a lazy holiday!!

HaPpY NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year.....

Up on the docket for the New Year's Resolution...Blogging...

We shall see how well I do...but hey, I bet I will get more than 15 posts like in 2011!!

Matt woke up, ate breakfast and went to church...

I slept in with a sick headache...stayed with the kids...and waited on Matt to get home.

We all loaded up about 12:30 and headed to Mother's where we had our New Year's feast. The Skinner's met us there...Mother had a huge spread featuring...roast, potatoes, carrots, black eyed peas, corn bread, hog jow?, turnip greens, ham, dressing, gravy, and tea. The kids ate in the sun room while us adults ate in the dining room. Afterwards, the kids played and the puppies did too...we headed home around 3 and crashed. Wow...I am really sounding like a bum!!
