I’m sitting in my sister’s beautiful home, listening to my kids and their cousins squeal with laughter as they play in the “bouncy bounce”. All morning they’ve been playing outside in the snow, only to come in to warm up with hot cocoa and marshmallows. The bouncing in the basement is a wonderful new way to expend energy especially since it’s not yet noon. We’re in a giant home in a winter wonderland. My kids are in bliss…

The drive here was only three hours by the clock but seemed hours longer. Despite taking motion sickness pills and waiting the obligatory hour between eating and driving, both of my older kids vomited repeatedly. Didn’t help that my husband took them to Chipotle for their last meal (duh). And their repeated “are we there yet?”, left me feeling sympathy for them and annoyance at my husband.

Now all is well…An excellent way to spend the last day of 2007! Hope you celebrate today too. xx Diane
