New Years

I have really become the worst blogger on Earth, haven't I? This last week really should have been my chance to catch up, be a diligent blogger and commit some actual thoughts (as opposed to the drivel I have been turning out lately) to this space.

But no...it was so nice to have some free time that I found myself wanting to nothing that involved even the slightest bit of thinking. I did, however, have a really nice visit with Tinkerbelle:-) We played with the girls on Wednesday when we were all home, and then on Thursday we went to the MFA because I have been dying to see the new Art in the Americas wing. I would have liked to spend a whole day there (it is really awesome) but I felt like I was really lucky to get three hours out of her and didn't want to press my luck. She enjoyed it, but it clearly was not as much fun as a Justin Bieber concert...

We also went ice skating at the Frog Pond (which I have never done before, for shame) and ate canolis for lunch on Friday:-) The cornerstone of any nutritious diet!!! Stayed in on Friday night with the girls, and they thankfully didn't make it remotely close to midnight:-). I offered to let The Boy go out and to stay home with the girls, but he was completely wiped when he got done with work and was asleep by about 9:30...so just Tinkerbelle and I made it to the New Year. Which was actually sort of nice:-) That makes two years in a row that we rung in the New Year by ourselves.

Then I talked to Munchkin and went to bed!

Speaking of...she got home yesterday afternoon with a killer tan and two new foreign admirers (they didn't come home with her, just the stories;-). Yes, for serious. These are not two that she admires back in any more than simply finding it cute, but apparently she is a big hit across all of Europe.

I'm telling you...this girl is a boatload of trouble!

So, a couple of days late...Happy New Year everyone!
