Not Much Going On

Yup...it's been a low-key 2009 so far...but that's quite alright! So far we've just been cleaning the house...we took down Christmas and have been re-organizing and purging the garage. How fun! Not really, I hate cleaning, but it's something that has to get done. Hopefully next weekend we can start the upstairs. The office is a mess! It's one of those rooms that everything gets thrown into. Plus, I want to get our taxes done early this year since my "tax guy," who is also my cousin Ray, is expecting baby #2 in mid-February. I'd love to get all our info to him before his big "due date." And guess what, all our tax info is somewhere in the office. We're also getting ready to do some home improvements. We're going to get the downstairs painted (living room, dining room, kitchen & bathroom), tile put into the upstairs bathrooms and install new carpet upstairs. We're just going to hire people to do everything, it always gets done faster that way. I'll post photos once things start coming along. But don't hold your breathe, it's all going to take a few months. I'm hoping by March all of that will get off out to-do list.

But we have had a little fun too. Yesterday we celebrated Kelly's uncle's 50th birthday. We only joined the first half of the festivities because Kelly had to work at night, but it was still fun to see the family. And since Kelly worked, I got to babysit Alexis & Jake (our niece & nephew) while their parents (Lisa & Tim) enjoyed the rest of the party, which included a party bus ride to the Irvine Improv for a comedy show. I was more than happy to babysit the munchkins! I enjoy spending time with them and they are such good kids. They make babysitting so easy! We had an ice cream party and by 9 pm we were all in bed watching TV. Once 10 pm rolled around, they were all asleep...including me! I can't wait for the next time I get to babysit, hopefully it will be just as easy.
