Christmas is over. . .

Honestly I am not a fan of cleaning, but it feels good to get something done! Kory's niece is here to watch the girls this week since there's no day care or Boys and Girls club at school, so I HAD to get the spare bedroom cleaned for her so she could actually have a bed to sleep on and some space in the closet. Well a few hours later and a few (okay 7) bags of clothes, I got it cleaned--I have 4 bags of little girl clothes in there waiting to give to my niece Katelyn--yikes! I threw away some old clothes of mine--and some of the girls' old clothes that were stained or just worn out. That felt good! Now if I can just get to working on the 'being organized' thing!

The girls are VERY excited to have Heather here. They think she's pretty cool, and she is really good with them--and she's kicking all of our butts at Guitar Hero!! LOL. . .

Kory's parents got me a cool thing (because I can't think of another word to describe it) that converts 35mm negatives into 5 megapixel digital files--I don't even need to hook it up to my computer--it will store them on a little SD memory card. Yayy! That's a huge project though. I have a TON of negatives. But it will be nice to have those all converted. I'm excited to get started on it.

The girls had a great Christmas. I got up at 7:30 thinking I could sneak downstairs and get the video camera set up and started before they woke up. . . well, thanks to Zoe who has to shake first thing in the morning and wake everybody up, Sydney woke up. So I told her to stay upstairs because I wanted to get their reactions on the video. . . well then Morgan was up, so I had to tell them to go wake up their dad. So, I got it going and let them come downstairs. They were soooo excited! I will have to post a clip of the video. I haven't even watched it yet, but I bet it's cute. Morgan ripped through her presents really quickly, but Syd took her time wanting to play with things as she got them opened. Pretty sweet. Santa left a note, drank the milk, ate the cookies and fed the carrots to his reindeer. He even left a few of the crumbs on the plate.

Well tonight there was rain mixed with snow when I left the grocery store--and lots of wind. I got drenched trying to load the groceries into the car and put the shopping cart away. Ugh. Tomorrow morning should be fun on the roads.
