Happy New Year!
The Mr. called it a night early.
And the girls BARELY made it.
But I kept them alert by sharing some really fun drawing prompts from my new book, Creative Doodling & Beyond. (Purchased at a Barnes & Noble, on an overnight trip we took to Cheyenne a few days ago.) We doodled for almost 2 hours straight! We also watched movies on the sleeper sofa & played one of my favorite games: Memory Match. (The old school version.) I kept talking to them really loudly to keep them awake, & jiggling them every once in a while to make sure they hadn't faded on me. Eventually, we cuddled on the couch & watched TV. When the clock struck midnight, we drank sparkling grape juice from fancy glasses.
Then, I tucked my sleepy children into bed while they muttered, "I'm so tired mama."
I was happy to have their company.

Happy New Year!

It's the New Year somewhere. Have a great 2008!

I'm going to be my usual fuddy-duddy New Year's Eve self & do nothing much this evening. Well, Mr. WhiMSy love & I will watch movies, play games with the girls & the girls & I are going to make brownies after we eat pizza & sip orange cream soda--with a straw!!

I don't make New Year's resolutions. I always anticipate the feeling of "newness" & "change" & "a fresh start" that the new year brings. I celebrate that!

I look forward to new things & fresh ideas & changes for the better!

***UPDATE: 9:15pm--Mr. WhiMSy love has gone to bed. HAHA! It looks like the girls & I will be going it alone on our brownie & soda sugar high! I wonder how long they'll last...
