I'M BACK!!

I feel like I should make some sort of announcement! After having been sick for most of December, I am finally feeling better. I have been thinking about blogging and missing it, but I simply haven't had the energy. (A new baby adds to this!)
So, today is New Years' Eve. We are having a quiet afternoon. It is a nice way to end the year! Brian made chili. I made applesauce from apples we bought at the farmers' market. The older kids are reading their new books, and all three of the little ones are napping! (I consider that a miracle!)
I hope your ends and the new one begins with peace!

Board Games!

Yesterday, I played Sorry with Isaac and Camille!

Given their ages(2 and 4), I use the word played very loosely. We have been playing card games like Uno Attack, for some time now. It is a game we can all play together even though our kids' ages vary so much. Over Thanksgiving weekend, Grandma K. taught all the kids how to play War and Crazy Eights, both fun as well. Isaac does really well with all of the card games, but has recently discovered our stash of board games(much to his delight)!

So, here we are, playing Sorry!
(Notice how few pieces are on the board. My patience was not going to last though a real game, so I only gave them half the pieces! This actually worked well, and the game went by much more quickly!)

Baby J. lounged next to me on a pillow sucking on his hands!

Today it was back to the board games for Isaac. This time we waited until Camille was napping. We played Dinosaur Monopoly(or a modified version anyways)! We had a great time together.

What will tomorrow hold? I am not sure, but I have a feeling Candyland is in my future!
