Okay, so I already bombed my NY resolution... missed Saturday. Lol! Maybe that's because I spent the day cleaning, sorting, rearranging, doing laundry, etc. Domestic goddess. Audrey started sleeping in her crib and Addie started sleeping in her toddler bed Saturday. Big girls!

Today, Ray & I took Hayden and Sydney to Ford Field to watch the Lions vs Bears. We went with the Sneads and had a great day! I'm not going to lie. It was lonnng. Sydney was definitely too young for the game (I knew this but felt badly about leaving her home) and Hayden was just on the line, I think. He was crazy! the first half but mellowed out the second. I think he was trying not to fall asleep. Lol! After the game, the kids got to go down to the field and run from the 20 yard line to the end zone for which they received a small, blue, plastic football. Definitely worth the wait in line. I meant that sarcastically but then I realized that given the chance again, I'd still wait in line for them to do it. Lol. They both fell asleep on the way home, which was good since Ray was listening to the Eagles go scoreless against the Cowboys on the radio. You may have wondered at this point in the blog why we subjected them to a Lions game. First of all, it was a gift from Santa so mom and dad cannot be to blame. Second, when you live in Michigan there aren't many options for exposing your children to real NFL games so you take what you can get (hmmm, does the game we went to today count as "real NFL"?). Hayden and Sydney represented the Eagles with their jerseys, however, and the Snead boys mixed it up with a Vikings and a Steelers jersey. Lol. Can't wait to get the photos from Jamie! Those four marched through the stadium gleefully oblivious to the fact they were the standouts in the midst of Lions Blue and Bears Orange. Loved it.

Resolution: Write in my blog daily so I don't forget a moment of this crazy life when I'm old and senile (seriously, I turn 30 in 2010... it won't be long now).
Started the New Year off with sleeping in until about 10:00am (thank you, babe). Our neighbors, infamous for their roaring snowmobiles at 2:00am and after-bar fights in their driveway around 3:00am, didn't disappoint on New Year's Eve. At 4:15am, Ray woke up to hear them fist fighting in the driveway. Yes, he HEARD them fist fighting. At 4:45am, I finally woke up to a guy yelling and cursing at a girl to let him back into the house. We're old so we called the police. Don't judge. When we called we were told we were the second people to call. So, someone else is obviously old, too. And of course, we couldn't just call the police without seeing what happened (peeking under the blinds... damn it, the storm windows were shut! so we couldn't hear!) so we didn't go back to sleep until 6:00am when the THREE police cars finally left. I need to be checking the online police news for NYE's night to find out what happened. Oh, what a glorious 2010 it would be if our neighbors left their rental house!
After I woke up, I made breakfast for lunch since frankly, I had missed breakfast time and I had promised pancakes, bacon, and sausage the night before. The kids seem appeased by my brunch effort.
After lunch, we started on a family time capsule which we didn't finish today but hope to this week. The kids drew and colored pictures which we named and dated. We need to go pick up a newspaper dated today and get some photos printed... I also plan to hand write a letter to each of my kids and to my husband. We plan to open the capsule in 2020. Thank you, Carol McElgunn, for the idea!
Early afternoon, I took Hayden and Syd to see Alvin & The Chipmunks The Squeakel. It was very nice spending time with my older children. We had a great time at the movie and I was happy to have that time with just them. =)
Now, we've just finished dinner and are enjoying some champagne... this first day of the year has been perfect. Happy 2010!
