Last night was a fun New Year's Eve. Lindsey Anderson volunteered to watch all the kids (because Judd was on call) while the adults had a party at the Wheeler's. We played games and the Wii and had a white elephant gift exchange. I ended up with "Awesome Bible Stories" DVD and Barry got a chalkboard mug. After we welcomed in the New Year we headed to pick the kids up. Tanner and Kara were the only kids that stayed up until Midnight out of eleven kids. The little night owls. We were all exhausted and went straight to bed.
I woke up at about 9:00am (I don't know when the last time I slept in was)to Tanner and Barry taking the tree down. I was so glad that they had started without me. The girls slept for another half an hour, and Kara woke up saying that she didn't feel good. She sometimes just says this for fun, so I never really know if she is telling the truth. She didn't eat anything all day, so I guess she was telling the truth. All she wanted was Gatorade. Kara was in the bathroom and yelled for me because she had little poops in the toilet. I came in and she had diarrhea. She said that her bum hurt and Barry got her hooked on Vaseline for sore bums, so now he gets to deal with putting the Vaseline on. He put her in a bath because she was so stinky. Poor Kara. We were able to get lots accomplished today because she was very sleepy today. Kendra didn't scream quite as much without Kara there picking her up.
The Christmas decorations came down today and now the house looks really empty, clean but empty. It's going to take me a couple days to get used to it again. Our whole day consisted of cleaning. Barry cleaned out the garage so we can now both park our cars in it. The only problem was that both cars had loads of snow on top and when the snow melts in the garage water comes straight toward the house. Barry put a fan out there to try and help dry the melting snow, but I'm afraid some one is going to get electrocuted. I swept and moped the floors. No matter where I put the mop Kendra found it and the dustpan. She also got into all the cupboards and is so fast now. I also put the laundry through. I really hate the laundry...it is never done. I can empty the basket just to have something in it a minute later. Tanner cleaned the white room which is the catch all room with the computer desk, craft and drawing table, and shelves for kitchen gadgets. He has been so good about helping lately. Barry was a lot of help, and I'm so grateful that we accomplished so much before he starts back to work again.
Barry starts his Pediatric rotation tomorrow. He is so glad to be finished with surgery and on to something that he expects to enjoy. Barry also decide that he is going to take Step 2 on May 30th so he will have to start studying for that. I'm not excited for study mode again, but it will be nice to have the test out of the way before summer.
My mom called and wants to have a family reunion at Disneyland this summer. It would be a lot of fun to go with everyone. We still have to get all the plans straight. Tanner and Kara are all for it!
One more thing...we made a new rule for Tanner because his bedroom light is always on. I will give him a dollar a week and if I catch his light on he owes me 10 cents. He so far has earned $1.70 in two week and is down to $.80 this week, but he is getting better about keeping his lights off.
