New Year's Eve was Wonderful!

Last night was the biggest party night of the year! I know because I had a HUGE party. Acutally, my kids had a huge party. We ended up with 7 kids, smaller than I wanted, until I was cleaning house today. We had muchies, soda, champagne ( sparkling grape juice), and in case you're curious, if you call Papa Johns at 12:30 a.m. on new years eve, they will bring you a pizza. We had party hats, and noise makers, which were used to celebrate the new year in every time zone. I put my boys down at 2a.m. I went to bed at 2:15 and told my daughter on my way by her room, that we needed to be "lights out" by 2:30, I learned today that they finally ended up going to bed at 4. I was so impressed by my youngest son, he is 3, he never even got grumpy last night, just bounced back and forth between the girls' and boys' parties. (he was one of those boys that went to bed at 2) He came upstairs at 5, walked in, turned on my light, and said "I am going potty" to which I always answer "I think that is a great idea" he went in my bathroom, turned on another light, went potty, and came to get in bed with me. He was very umimpressed with the state of my blankets. We like the sheets and covers as close to "hospital tight" as we can get them. By 5 o'clock this morning, I had evadently wrecked the bed a little, he said "can we make the bed so I have my part of the covers?" I love my kids! I love to have parties at my house, I love to have people over for drinks, 1 or 50, a few people or a lot, but honestly, last night was one of the best parties I have ever been a part of. My kids are my whole world, making them happy, makes me happy. I would not trade it for any other new years party I have ever had, and, ask around, I have had some good ones. I wish you all a very happy and prosperous new year, 2006 will be a good one.
