New Year's Eve Day

  • We got Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on CD (finally - we've been on the hold list since before Thanksgiving) and The Office - Season 2 on DVD from the Sandy Library.
  • We had lunch at crowded Chik-fil-A.
  • I got groceries at Harmon's.
  • I got Randy a new Cars sippy cup in hopes that he will have his Pedia Sure out of it before bed instead of out of a bottle.
  • Bryanna came over to play with Jenna for a couple of hours.
  • Corey and I made egg drop soup (to go along with his recent study of China and fulfill a Cub Scout requirement).
  • I tried, and failed, the second time to make British style rice krispie treats. The chocolate melted beautifully in the homemade double boiler, but when I added the Lyle's Golden Syrup it started to clump. Next time I'll mix the rice krispies and melted chocolate first then stir in the syrup.
  • I've been listening to The Chieftains lately. http://www.thechieftains.com/
  • Dion and the kids went to Walgreen's and got hats, silly string and noise makers for our little family party tonight. There's some Martinelli's sparkling cider chilling in the fridge.
  • I need to make some resolutions. The trick is whittling it down to just a few things to work on.
  • Yet again, I'm going to put off the mopping and vacuuming until tomorrow - cleaning will be a great way to start 2008.
