January

It's nearly the middle of February and no posts this year. January in review....

It started with the New Year spent at home playing games (Rummikub & Parcheesi)

We spent the night at my parent's when Uncle Sam came.

That night sleep was a challenging one

because Warren thought climbing out of the playpen (bed) was really quite fun.

I ended up climbing in to lie down right next to him

It worked for a few hours though my knees were bent into my chin

He woke around five and four

Went down to the kitchen to find Uncle Bub asleep on the floor

We got a drink

From the little ol'e sink

Went down to the room for a little more sleep

It worked for a tiny bit without making a peep

Around six or so we got up once more

Thank goodness for grandpa who came to the door

He took his little buddy down to the playroom and basement

While to the bedroom I happily went

Not wanting to disturb the king of the bed

I happily climbed in the playpen to rest my sleepy head

A few more hours of sleep were preciously spent

Until the cute little nieces voices went

As she came into the room she was wondering what I was doing in Warren's bed

I told her I needed a place to rest my little head

She smiled and laughed and thought that was fun

To see Aunt Ila in a bed made for someone that is one

Bless her heart she had been on Warren duty too.

Thank you Sierra you deserve new princess/basketball shoes

Kyle has been working on his project of course

And being Warren's favorite horse

A little more b-ball here and a little there

Clipping the coupons and shopping with them everywhere

Warren's starting to say a few phrases which is cute

He's becoming quite a tease and is a hoot

At the end of the month we went and house sat

And became substitute parents for 4 boys, 1 girl, a dog and a cat

Warren loved his new friends, the dog, and the kitty

That cat got a great workout running away from a boy who thought it was so pretty

I learned about some roles that will start in at least 3 or more years

The taxi driver, homework regulator, piano general, a new perspective for my eyes and ears

My sweet mother-in-law helped me bottle some chicken

We know it will be good and finger licken'

Bless her heart she finished it for us when we had to go

Poor little Warren was tuckered out falling asleep in a chair watching roll over and other songs you might know

Kyle enjoyed his commute everyday

And read stories each night to the princess as she drifted away

That about sums up our January

Oh what adventures that make our lives merry.
