And quiet prevailed… For 23 hours. :mrgreen:

I had the house to myself for 23 hours, and it was so nice! … I needed to wrap the kids’ Christmas presents, so Joe took the kids over to his parents’ house to spend the night. I guess there was a college football game on TV on Thursday night between the Oregon Beavers and the Oregon Ducks, to see which team would play in some sort of bowl thingy. Jim (Joe’s Dad) had wanted Joe to watch the game with him, so Joe decided to go and just crash there until he went to work (he leaves the house at 2:30-ish in the morning).

So anyway, they left at around 4 pm on Thursday, and I had a nice, quiet evening all to myself. :) I mainly just snuggled under a quilt and watched some movies… Then on Friday morning I spent aprox. 3 hours wrapping presents… Yes, I am a SLOW wrapper. *lol* … Normally I have the kids stay in their rooms while I wrap, but that drives them batty after a while (since it takes me SO LONG to wrap them *lol*). This was much less painful for them. ;)

On his way home from work yesterday, Joe stopped by his parents’ house to pick the girls up and bring them home… Jim and Elvina wanted the boys to stay one more night so that they could take them to the high school basketball game (which bores the girls, so they never go). Jim and Elvina are going to bring the boys to the bowling alley this morning, in time for their league. It will be nice to see them. :)

Since we were boy-free last night (not counting Daddy), the girls and I snuggled up and watched a few episodes of “H2O – Just Add Water”, which the kids love (OK, I admit it, I love that teeny-bopper show too *lol*). Gotta love a mermaid flick, right? :mrgreen:

Not much else going on… I’ve been doing some scrapping, but I haven’t loaded them onto Flickr yet. I may try to do that before we head to the bowling alley… Joe is treating us girls to breakfast there, before the boys bowl in their league. :)

Well, I should run… But before I go, just wanted to give a quick shout out for faucet… I would like to get a new one for the kitchen. One that has one of those hose things attached. I used to have one in the Portland house, and I miss it!
