Today was a super lazy day... We spent most of the day in our jammies, watching movies, taking a nap, and eating take-out. How great is that???? I LOVE these days! We don't do them often enough, and that NEEDS to change! LOL!! I did get the cleaning bug so Matt and I spent a couple of hours scrubbing floors, reorganizing toys, doing laundry, and vacuuming. But over all, it was a great family day. Not to mention that it'sFAR too cold outside to spend more than 30 seconds outside. So, the Hanson family spent the day hanging out -- together of course.
I can't remember why I started it, but for some reason a while back, I thought it was a great idea to put the kids in my whirlpool and let them "swim" in my huge soaker tub. Well... now they practically insist on taking a bath in there every time (with my bubble bath of course). Yea.. guess where they are right now??? It's such chaos... when they're done it looks like a monsoon hit my bathroom -- water all over the walls, the floor, everywhere within a 4 foot radius. It's such a mess!! Anyway, after they go to bed tonight, I plan on getting in and relaxing for a while. The problem.... in order for me to get in, I have to spend the better part of 10 minutes transferring all of their toys and miscellaneous "stuff" to their own bathroom. Glad I started this!
Tomorrow we're off to church, and it should be interesting. This will be one of the first times Caleb has been left alone in the two year old room and he HATES it. Literally, he cries the entire time. So I'd been holding him out and not pushing it. Thankfully, a girl I used to work with at Principal works in the two year old room, and insists that I keep trying it. So keep your fingers crossed that it goes OK. After church we are heading over to my sister's house for Hannah's birthday party. The kids can't wait to eat birthday cake!
Which reminds me.... The countdown is on for Katherine's all important 5th birthday party... She really wants a "friend" party with all of the kids from her preschool class, so I need to book it this week. I'm probably going to have it at the Playground for Kids.... We'll also have the neighborhood crew over for a party -- I haven't picked the date yet, but I'm thinking it'll be a pizza party thing for lunch. So then... Matt asks if we're going to have a "family" party. Well I guess so, but man... once they turn 5 and start making their own friends it's nothing short of chaos!!! Oh... and it wouldn't be nearly as difficult to schedule, but we have to go back to LeMars the weekend of her birthday to get our taxes done. Ay-yi-yi!!

Lazy pj saturdays are the best kinda saturdays
Ok. This is ridiculous. Have ONE party. This is what you do:
Schedule the party in sections. Family party starts at Noon. Presents, cake, same ole same ole. At 4, her preschool friends arrive for a sleep over OR for movie time and a 2 hour party in the basement. Cup cakes and more presents. The little ones leave at 6PM and the neighbors come over with alchohol to help you recover from the 2 hours of preschoolers in the house. During this whole time, you have a small buffet on the counter as people come and go. Got it? Let's refresh:
10AM - put out small buffet of food
12PM - family arrives for presents and cake
2PM - preschool friends arrive for presents and cup cakes.
4PM - preschool friends get their hinies out
4PM - 5PM - refresh buffet for neighbors and pick up a bit
5PM - Neighbors come over - cake and presents, alchohol. It's relaxed. They're your friends, let the night just go as it may.
