but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely perish.

ringing in the new year...

the end of a year and the start of a new one...
i spent new year's eve with my grandparents and all three of the kids(seth, daylee and my niece, lily). i've never been one to want to go out and drink and get wild on new year's eve. the thought of getting a d.u.i or worse is just not worth a night of having fun. although, in some weird way, i believe that whoever you choose to spend new year's eve with with effect your life(good or bad) for the next year, so why not spend quality time with family? who else should have that kind of hold, right?!?
so, after dealing with a wretched three year old all day, it was nice to push two twin beds together, have all the kids snuggle up and watch old scooby doo episodes, eat snacks and fall asleep before the ball even dropped.
some may say this is lame. i, on the other hand disagree. for years now this has been a semi tradition. sometimes, i have all three kiddos and others i just have seth and daylee. either way, i can't wait for next year and the possibility that i'll not only be watch seth, daylee and lily but miss margot as well.

  1. I thought you said we were taking the kiddos next year...? :)

    Lily loves spending time with you and the boys. She looks forward to it all year.

  2. i was actually joking. since you have yet to watch the beast, but i enjoy having all the kids. even when it gets crazy. and it's never your kid, it's daylee. seth and lily are angelic compared to my heathen.
