Not-so-black Friday!!!

Yesterday we woke up at 4 am and started shopping- first Wal-Mart then Target. It was alot of fun 'cause Jack and I got to go all by ourselves! My brother-in-law Brad stayed asleep w/the boys. We found some really good deals and got the majority of our Christmas shopping finished. When we got home at 9, everyone was still asleep, but not for long. By the time the kids got up, we were ready to go back to bed- which was out of the question! So we did some cleaning, and playing, and lots of eating...and about 4 oclock I decided we HAD to get the boys out of the house 'cause they were climbing the walls. SO we took them to the nearby playgroung here on base and let them expel some energy for a couple hours. What fun they had! Soon we were getting terrorized by the bugs so we went home, took showers, had dinner, and spent the rest of the evening lying on the sofa all snuggled up watching movies. What a wonderful day! I got to go shopping, eat lots of yummy leftover Thanksgiving food, and the kids were good and we enjoyed the outdoors and each other.
