The Katrina House comes down!
A Shot from Dance Camp Performance!
Well, happy new year all! In my effort to start the new year out right, I have been on a straight up cleaning, organizing, decluttering frenzy. It could be the nesting instinct kicking in, since we have 4 weeks and 5 days to go. NOT that anyone here is counting.
We spent our 2nd 3 day holiday weekend a bit more low key. Friday the girl had a dance performance at the Little Gym for her winter dance camp. I was EXTREMELY impressed by how much the teacher had been able to get them to learn and do. Still, it was SO funny. Too too cute. They did a dance to "Hot, Hot, Hot" that resulting in mom snorting into the video camera mic!
Friday night we had a great dinner w/ Dr. G and his lovely wife. The girl was a peach. Very well behaved and very engaged in the convo.
Saturday, a hair appt followed by a pink elephant party which was a lot of fun. Saturday night we didn't do much of anything.
New Year's Eve Morning aka Sunday morning, up and cleaning by 8. De-decorated the house. All Christmas paraphenalia is in the basement, nicely sorted and packed away. Then I hit the laundry room cabinets, the office, the girl's toy drawers. Purged, sorted, organized! New Year's Eve was spent at P&Bs with their 4 year old little one and Dr. G and C. It was a great time. Very low key. Hubby was the designated bartender and I have never seen so many buzzed on pink drinks in my life. Cosmos - the original w/ cranberry juice and a fancy pomegranate version for the new year. We ate tons of B's famous dumplins! YUMMY. Played a game called Table Talk, which was a lot of fun - just convo starting questions. Eg. What's more important common sense or intelligence? and so on. The girls constructed their gingerbread houses and were thrilled. My girls collapsed soon being deemed "the gingerbread house that katrina built" but she coped quite well. Her only comment "oh well I guess I have to eat it now!"
We all made it to see the ball drop even the little ones. We were home around 12:45. Slept in until almost 11 yesterday! More cleaning, a trip to Walmart and then Hubby's family gathering for New Years Day. More GREAT food. I think I gained 5 lbs in 2 days. But it was worth it.
Today I have two more doctor's appts. OB first then the Peri. Did I mention we are under 5 weeks?!?!?!
