Valentine's Day

We spent a quiet day at home. No way were we venturing out to the crowded restaurants for supper. We waited and went on Wednesday instead.

I purchased some little burlap looking bags a couple of years ago and used those for the kids and DH's gifts. It helps me keep my spending under control...unfortunately, you should see the size of the Easter baskets...ooohh I am in so much trouble! lol DH got some coffee flavored candies and a router bit he wanted. The kids each got a little package of conversation hearts, some jelly beans, fun socks, a little doll (MLP & LPS) and a coloring book. Ok, so the coloring book technically didn't fit in the bag but it was the only item that didn't so I figured it was ok.

Since this year is not a leap year, this holiday officially ends my Winter holidays. So from here on out, all I will post here are things for Rudy day and also my notebook. Join me over on my Spring blog for the upcoming holidays!

Winter Notebook

As one of my "to-dos" this year, I want to get all of my notebooks up and running. I've run across some people who are curious about these notebooks so I thought I would share as I get mine finished. I will post some pictures as I go, some lists and also links to others I have found and simply MUST share! So...follow along if you wish...I'll try to keep it interesting!

January Rudolph Day

I missed it! Yep, it went by without so much as a hello! I vow to do better next month! I've already got some ideas swirling in my head about a Christmas in July thing for the kids...like an Ornament Hunt or something like that. I'll think about it more during the February Rudolph day. I'll let you know what I decide!

Is it really over?

Where did the time go? 2008 just flew by! Of course a move to a new place in the middle of the year will do that, I suppose!

For the beginning of the year, I will use this blog to talk about my Rudy Day activities and any preparations I make in anticipation of the Christmas Holidays of 2009.
