...and breathe.....

I know, I know... I haven't even gotten the opportunity to post Christmas pictures here yet & we're starting the new year. It's been a crazy few weeks with family celebrations, work & kids at home. Add in 4 nights of houseguests & it gets even wilder! We try to work hard at keeping our kids on a decent schedule, because we've found that if we don't, it just makes all our lives more stressful than it needs to be. Unfortunately, having our family staying here with pretty much no schedule... well let's just say it has caused a little chaos. Grouchy, whining, disrespectful children... that is why we have a set schedule. Next time we agree to have guests we've decided that there will be house rules. Even the boys agreed this would be a great idea. So we're all looking forward to a "normal" week... back on schedule... because that's the way we like it :)
